Shelley Hennig "mde an extreme negative into a positive," the Days of Our Lives star told Soap Opera Digest about the tragedy that took her told brother, Brad, in 1991.

He died in a drunk driving accident. And Henning is now crusading against underage drinking in an effort to prevent future accidents.

Following the incident, Hennig began working with the Council on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (CADA), a Louisiana nonprofit community health agency. From there, the young actress became a spokesperson for Mothers Against Drunk Driving and the Buzz Free Prom project.

"My brother was only 18 when he died," said Hennig. "There were four people in the car. Two of them survived. My brother and this girl passed away. We don't know who the driver was. And it doesn't really matter who was drinking."

While the actress has never gotten over the tragedy, she has found that lending her time and support to these groups has proven somewhat therapeutic.

"Since I was 16 I've been going around speaking at different schools about losing my brother to a drinking and driving crash," said the Days of Our Lives favorite. "My goal and hope was to show people that you're untouchable."

Lately, Hennig has become quite involved with Buzz Free Prom.

"The organization's mission is to take alcohol out of the prom equation," she said. "You get teenagers, kids in high school, to sign a pledge that they won't drink on prom night. They all get together and make this pact."

The official site for The Young and the Restless teases audiences with the following questions:

• With Phyllis in prison, will Nick find his way back to Sharon?

• What will Neil (Kristoff St. John, pictured) do when he sees Lily attracted to an older man?

• Will Neil's relationship with Karen be threatened by his memories of Dru?

• Michael’s efforts to save Kevin, Daniel (Michael Graziadei) and Amber from prosecution are threatened by Heather.

• When Victor's plan to destroy Jack is put in motion, the fall-out engulfs the entire Newman clan.

• As Victor and Nikki grow further apart, will Nikki give into temptation which could end their marriage?

• The Professor, who has been trying to find out about Brad's secret, is confronted by the demons of his own past. Will Adrian and Colleen's (Tammin Sursok) relationship survive his indiscretion?

• Will Paul's daughter Heather realize she holds the secret to Adrian's past?

Here's a cute story?

General Hospital star Rebecca Herbst recently learned that her son Ethan knows a lot more about the soap opera business than she originally thought - and he even wants to be a part of it!

Ethan visited the set recently and grew jealous over the sight of his mother with her on-screen son, Cameron. The six-year old wanted to be on camera with his mom instead.

After Herbst explained that he couldn’t take over the role of Cameron due to the age difference - Rebecca's son on General Hospital is only three - Ethan asked:“When they age Cameron, do you think I can play your son?"

Smart kid.

There's little doubt that Alexa Havins left an impression on viewers around the country.

But the former All My Children star also left co-stars in tears during her goodbye party.

Here's what Alicia Minshew had to say about bidding farewell to a friend:

“I said to her, ‘You have just grown to be such a wonderful young woman and have such a great future ahead of you and you have been such a wonderful part of my years here.’

As previously reported, Kassie DePaiva will be hosting the show Crotchet Today on on PBS.
