Chuck Pratt — who officially takes over as the head writer of All My Children on August 27 — has an issue with Fusion, the soap's hopelessly dopey cosmetics corporation.

The main problem?

"It took me three weeks to figure out what they actually do at Fusion and that Greenlee [Rebecca Budig] and Kendall [Alicia Minshew] run the place," Pratt told TV Guide.

The solution, according to Pratt, will be to take a cue from Ugly Betty, where he previously served as a consulting producer.

"I'm going to blast into Fusion and make it a real workplace," he said. "We're going to get into the drama of office politics. We'll see what it's like for the poor assistants and underlings when two spoiled rich girls are in charge."

Chuck Pratt will be putting Alicia Minshew to work!

Cheryl Burke and former Dancing With the Stars contestant - and current General Hospital star - Kelly Monaco share sweets and smiles yesterday while walking down L.A.'s Sunset Boulevard.

Monaco was recently named by TV Guide as the sexiest woman on daytime television. Do you agree with that honor for her?

Here's the ABC press release for tonight's General Hospital: Night Shif season two premiere:

General Hospital turns to chaos when a car crashes through the ER, injuring a pregnant Dr. Robin Scorpio (Kimberly McCullough), and killing a member of the staff.

Elsewhere, Jagger Cates (pictured, Antonio Sabato, Jr.) returns to town after a 13-year absence, with a surprise for Robin. Meanwhile, sparks fly between Touissant (Billy Dee Williams) and Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) after he returns to the hospital from being on tour with his musical group The Saints.

In another corridor of the hospital, new interns Kyle (Adam Grimes) and Claire (Carrie Southworth) bond over their fear of their strict superiors, Dr. Leo Julian (Ethan Rains) and Dr. Saira Batra (Azita Ghanizada) on the season premiere of General Hospital: Night Shift

Kamar de Los Reyes has been on One Life To Live for almost 12 years.

The actor recently said he was thrilled to arrive in the imaginary town of Llanville more than a decade ago.

"I became a part of the first _ of one of the only Latino families on daytime television, on all of network television... And I'm not talking about just Latino families portrayed in sitcoms. I'm talking about a real Latino, a real Puerto Rican family who dealt with real-life issues.

I was extremely and continue to be extremely proud of that. I always felt extremely lucky and blessed and to this day am very grateful for that opportunity as a Latino, considering, you know, one tenth of a percent of Latino actors get that opportunity. And I was one of them."

Susan Lucci (Erica, All My Children) has confirmed that daughter Liza Huber (Gwen, Passions) and her husband, Alex Hesterberg, are expecting baby number-two.

"We're so thrilled," Lucci told Soap Opera Weekly. "[One-year-old] Royce is going to be an adorable big brother!"
