"The weirdest part about that is I was holding on to Hannah, she let go, and I looked up and Greenlee looked completely different. Obviously, Hannah's death took a bigger toll on her than it did on me," joked Kaye, alluding to the return of Rebecca Budig as Greenlee.

A Few Soap Opera Questions and Answers

ist2_990350_question_and_answer_icons.jpg Here are a few burning soap opera questions - and answers, of course - from some curious fans:

Q: Why did General Hospital let Emily die? She and Nikolas were a good match, and weren't they a couple in real life?
A: Natalia Livingston wanted out, so General Hospital made Emily a victim of the Text Message Killer rather than recast the role again. Livingston and Tyler Christopher (Nikolas) did indeed date for a while, but they are no longer together.

Q: How could One Life to Live make Asa's loyal servant, Nigel, so disloyal?
A: If you're talking about Asa's will, One Life to Live established that David Vickers would make a less desirable Buchanan than Jared Banks, so Nigel let Jared claim the title - for now. Look for the soap to revisit that decision when David returns.

Q: Why is The Young and the Restless taking Jack down, but not Gloria? When is she going to pay?
A: Jeffrey is blackmailing Gloria into marriage, but Michael,Lauren and Kevin know the truth about the tainted face cream, so don't think this story is over!

Martha Byrne Dishes on As the World Turns Spoilers

Dusty rejects Lily this week on As the World Turns. The development sends her on a downward spiral that culminates in a shocking death on Friday.

Martha Byrne Picture"It starts bad and ends worse," Martha Byrne, who plays the tormented heroine, tells The New York Daily News. "Lily has been fragile since her [pill] addiction. It will take very little to set her off again."

On this week's As the World Turns episodes, it's Dusty telling her he is still in love with Emily.

"She is completely devastated," says Byrne. "That sets her off, and she starts scoring drugs again. She goes to Yo's to pick up a couple of pills - I didn't realize that Yo's was the hot spot for medication - and she runs into Krista."

Krista used to work as a prostitute, a fact she shares over drinks - and pills - with Lily.

"At first, Lily misunderstands," says Byrne. "She says, 'You must be talking about somebody else.' There's no way that the Emily she knows would do something like that. But then it starts to make sense. Lily uses that information in the most horrible way because she's hurt."

Indeed, Lily leaves a note for Emily's boyfriend, Chris (Dylan Bruce), detailing Emily's life as a prostitute; then, she heads for a party at the hospital, where everything blows up.

What happens next? Tune in this week to As the World Turns and see!

On names: We do [have a name picked out]. The name was a big option when Crew was born. So this guy was named the second I knew we were having a boy. [I don't want to share it, but it does begin with 'C'.] Got to keep the trend going!

William deVry: The Imperfect Storm

William deVryWilliam deVry appeared on nine episodes of All My Children in 2003-2004.

But the actor is best known now for his role as Stephen "Storm" Logan on The Bold and the Beautiful. He recently chatted with Soap Opera Weekly about recent developments for his character:

Soap Opera Weekly: Were you surprised that Storm was revealed as Stephanie's shooter?
William deVry: Not really. My first inkling was way, way in advance before the story started to develop [on air]. As it developed I became sure it was headed in that direction.

Weekly: What was the cast reaction?
deVry: I think it was just "another day at the office." Everybody was wondering who it was. We were all running around asking each other. But once we all found out nobody came up to me and said, "I can't believe you did it!" (laughs). But I'm proud of the fact that we were all able to keep the secret amongst ourselves. I don't believe it ever got out anywhere, which is great.

Weekly: Do you think we will see a different Storm?
deVry: I think so. I think you'll see a little more relaxed, somewhat subdued Storm. More humble. But anybody who has that history can always fall off the truck again, so to speak.

Weekly: And where does this leave his sisters?
deVry: I think the Logan family itself is a stronger unit. This certainly opens up the possibility for a whole family reunion, with the mother and father, but I don't think the situation is completely settled. I think you'll see there's more to play out.
