Turns out, she isn't the only soap star to be heading to primetime.

According to TV Guide, The Young and the Restless Thad Luckinbill (J.T) and Amelia Heinle (Victoria) and The Bold and the Beautiful's Lesli Kay (Felicia) will play roles that come naturally to them on the Jennifer Love Hewitt drama.

Tonya Lee Williams: Loving Life on The Young and the Restless

After a three-year break, Tonya Lee Williams returned to her role of Dr. Olivia Winters on The Young and the Restless in September 2008.

Just four months later, her name was called among the nominees for a 2009 NAACP Image Award. In other words: it's been a very pleasant few weeks for Williams. And she knows it.

Robin Strasser Defends Oral Sex Scene

During a recent interview with TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco, Robin Strasser dishes on the oral sex scene heard about the daytime world.

Turns out, this One Life to Live shocker was the actress' idea...

Q: Recently, Dorian performed oral sex on David in an effort to test his loyalty to Buddhism. I loved the scene, but a few critics and fans were offended, claiming it contradicted Dorian’s character and classy nature. How did you feel about the scene?

A: I know there was some fuss on the Internet, but it was all me. We had cryptic material in the script noting how Dorian was doing a variety of things that cause David to chant and moan. As we were blocking the scene, I thought why not have Dorian start massaging David at the top and continue all the way down.

Rockin Robin

Since most of it happened on camera, we allowed the imagination of the viewer to kick in. It wasn’t spelled out. If someone didn’t see it, they didn’t see it. If someone did see it, they saw it. It was my idea. No one wrote the [oral sex] in the script. Everyone agreed that the [oral sex] made sense. Dorian desperately wanted to get his attention.

Dorian and David are highly charged and adventurous people, especially sexually. There has not been a moment since they met that their sexual [lust and love] for each other didn’t factor into their relationship.

Remember when they were at the Buchanan ranch after she found Clint kissing Nora? Immediately, David and Dorian cradled each other passionately and lovingly in bed. That scene spoke volumes about their relationship. So, Dorian performing on David was born from  a naughty twinkle in my eye. Since it was in the right context, I thought it worked.

As for it being demeaning or she was too classy, talk to your partner about your sex life. I wanted to clear that up just in case Ron had taken any heat what I had done. I didn’t want someone unfairly blamed for my decision. Creatively, I thought Dorian had every reason to go in that direction.

Nathan Purdee: Returning to One Life to Live

Nathan Purdee, who portrayed Hank Gannon on One Life to Live from 1992 to 2003, is set to return to the show.

Look for the actor to debut again in Llanview on April 1.

Hank is one of Nora's ex-husbands (they have daughter Rachel together) and one of Bo's best friends.
