role of Nick and Phyllis’ daughter will be recast immediately.
• I guess this “Bastard” was right after all! According to EW.com, Eric Braeden has re-signed with the number-one sudser. UNCENSORED reported in late June that the Emmy winner would be headed to the contract table once again but Braeden’s rep vehemently denied the story, insisting the actor wouldn’t be renegotiating until late this year. Well, it’s still summer, Eric! Terms of the deal were not disclosed but insiders speculate that a pay cut and a cut in guarantee were accepted. Yep, it’s the beginning of a new era, you “Bastard!”
• Jess Walton fans, rejoice: The Emmy winner tells UNCENSORED exclusively that she’s back in Genoa City after taking a self-imposed hiatus late this spring, news this soap opera e-zine also broke at the time. She says, “I return on Oct 5 and will be there for 4-6 weeks! It’s a great story.” Can we expect Tristan Rogers back, too? Stay tuned!
