Kim Zimmer is involved in a prominent story line these days on Guiding Light.
The actress was recently asked by Michael Fairman how she liked her character's story line, as Reva is currently pregnant with leukemia.
Her response:
The more they pile on me the happier I am... I forget I have leukemia, and I have not had chemo in a while. They don’t write her like she is sick; they write her great balls ahead. So I forget I have leukemia and I go full force. They have to be consistent in the writing when they force that stuff on you, and they have not been. There are times you have to remind yourself, it’s your job as an actor to remember those things.
Congratulations are in order for Daniel Goddard.
The actor who portrays Cane Ashby on The Young and the Restless, welcomed son Sebastian William Goddard into the world on Friday, December 19.
The child weighed nine pounds, 11 ounces and measured 21 inches in length. This is Goddard's second child with wife Rachel.
The calendar is set to turn the page on 2008.

For those seeking a series of All My Children spoilers, who better to speak to than head writer Charles Pratt Jr.?
The scribe recently sat down with Soap Opera Weekly and delivered the dish on a few key characters. For example, here's a look ahead at Ryan Lavery in the new year...
Ryan has floated around between women. Sometimes he's a good guy; sometimes he's a little dark. In other words, sometimes he's this, sometimes he's that. My feeling is to get him back to the way he was when I liked him and to the way I think the actor [Cameron Mathison] liked him.
Ryan is best a bit roguish, with a little cynicism and a dash of humor — but ultimately a good guy, a white knight. At the same time, [he's] a guy who fights for his cause. I always saw him as an ambitious person, romantically and otherwise. I don't like him bearing his feelings or vacillating between women, or doing the right thing for the wrong reasons or the wrong thing for the right reasons.
I see him more as a simpler man with a direct purpose and clear goals, who goes about [reaching] them, never in devious, terrible, crazy ways, but gets his results in any way possible. He spent a little too much time wearing his heart on his sleeve, and now it's time to be more of a man of action.
The calendar turns to a new year next week, and the following developments take place on Days of Our Lives...
Due to the new year, All My Children only airs a trio of new episodes next week...
