Good news fans, Soap Opera Digest is reporting that Eric was able to work out a new deal with Sony and will not be leaving the show! Eric’s rep. confirmed the news by saying, “Eric has agreed to return to Y&R.”

Previously Reported on October 17:

Unable to come to an agreement with the show, during contract negotiations, Eric will in fact be leaving The Young and the Restless and told Entrainment Weekly, “We reached an impasse in the negotiations. I have shown flexibility, they have shown none. It is over. I pulled the plug. That’s it. No more. If I show good will, I expect it to be reciprocated. If there is a rigid attitude on the other side, what is there to to negotiate? That’s a sign of utter disrespect. I will not negotiate with people who remain aloof and arrogant about the whole thing. Not after 30 years, I won’t do that. I’m saying this with a great amount of sadness because I’ve had nothing but respect for my fellow cast members, I have deep respect for the crew who has done an extraordinary job year in and year out, and I have enormous respect for (head writer) Maria Bell.”

Previously Reported on September 28:

After more pressure from Bill, Brooke convinced the FC team to accept his offer to buy the company and put Katie in charge as CEO.

General Hospital’s Greg Vaughan (Lucky Spencer) appeared on last night’s episode of “The Newlywed Game.”

Greg was joined by his real life wife, Touriya Haoud, for the game show. Check out this video clip to see how they fared against the other celebrity couples.

Days of Our Lives fan Gordon Parkhurst was lucky enough to take a tour of the NBC Studios in Burbank where the show is filmed.

He got in touch with us to tell us all about his time checking out the sets and costumes. Here’s a sample of his article:

“Soap opera actors and crew members are among the hardest working people in show business, as new episodes air every day, there are no repeats. The day usually starts about 8 or 9 AM, with hair and makeup, and costuming. They rehearse and go over their blocking in the first part of the day, and then usually start filming about 3 PM, and work until sometime into the evening. Why do you rarely see soap opera stars in the gossip pages? Because they have no time for partying or late nights! Speaking of hair, make-up, and costumes, wardrobe and make-up were our next stop. They had an assortment of costumes on display, including the Marilyn Monroe inspired number Sami wore to serenade Franco on his birthday, and the circus costume worn by Jennifer when she was hiding out with Jack in the circus. The window into the costume shop is now covered, as apparently ambitious reporters for the soap opera magazines and websites were known to take the tour, just to spy behind the scenes and learn possible spoilers! They also had the Marlena Evans doll on display, which I was ashamed to admit to owning! Hair and makeup was the next stop. Many wigs were on display, including those worn by Celeste, and a Marie Antoinette wig worn by Marlena at the DiMera masquerade ball. Interestingly, many of the wigs contain horse hair, which is much more durable than human hair, and will stand up to the harsh styling conditions used. Also, many of the actresses wear wigs on a daily basis, as it makes for much easier hair styling, and more easily allows for switching between different scenes in the same day.” Read the rest of this entry »
