Bye, bye Buddy (This time, we mean it)

It seems the story about OLTL's Brandon Buddy's Twitter account being hacked into was false, and his June Tweet was actually true. One half of the popular "star crossed lovers" will soon depart from the soap. No word on when Buddy will last air, but look for the character of Cole Thornhart to exit alive, but not necessarily well.

The Bold get a bit more Beautiful

Actor/model Adam Gregory is coming to daytime in a surprise casting shake-up at The Bold & the Beautiful.

The 23-year-old will take over the role of Thomas Forrester, replacing Drew Tyler Bell, who won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Younger Actor earlier this year. Gregory is best known for his roles in the teen flicks 17 Again and The Hannah Montana Movie, as well as the primetime teen sudser, 90210.

B&B will be the actor's first daytime gig.

According to the show's producers, the recast is set to move the character in a new direction. We hope that means he'll be shirtless as often as possible!

Adam Gregory is set to make his daytime debut this September.
