Eileen Davisdon is about to release her first book.

The Bold and the Beautiful star has drawn on her experience in the daytime world to pen, “Death in Daytime,” the first in a series of mystery novels written by the actress and centers=ing around the murder of the head writer of a soap opera called, The Yearning Tide.

A quick synopsis of this initial effort: After a murder, the soap opera's leading lady becomes the main suspect in the crime, as she sets out to discover who truly killed the show's writer.

While Davidson certainly has a wealth of experience to pull from during her twenty plus years portraying characters on The Young and the Restless, Santa Barbara, Days of Our Lives and The Bold and the Beautiful, she insists her story doesn’t reflect any specific individual or event from her real life.

You can pre-order the book, which comes out October 7, via Amazon.

On Friday's The Young and the Restless, Jana and Kevin attempt to pull off a wedding replete with hope and promise after all the death and despair that followed Sabrina's death.

When their guests arrive at the ashram in Malibu, the guide hits them with the rules of the ashram, which include bans on meat, cell phones, and shoes. Jana and Kevin are excited, but Michael and Jeff would rather be anywhere else.

Jay Kenneth Johnson has been back on Days of Our Lives for over a year now.

Still, it's worth listening to what the actor had to say during an interview that followed his return.

When Philip first came back, there seemed to be much more of a dark side to him.
Jay Kenneth Johnson: In retrospect, I probably would've added a few more layers, but I was playing it as writ and I had a great time doing it. But I've said before I was going a hundred miles an hour every single day. That's still there, but I think Belle definitely brings out the softer side in him. I like the happy medium in between the two.

How has Philip changed since you were here before?
Jay Kenneth Johnson: I think he's grown up into more of a man. I think he's still got a lot of growing up to do. For lack of a better phrase, I think he was kind of a pushover. He was just getting walked on by Chloe and whomever else. I think that it was written that way but in all writing you have to find different layers and add that in yourself. Philip's changed and I've changed a lot as an actor. I might play that completely different now.

Jeanne Cooper is still on a high after winning her first Emmy Award earlier this year. How do we know? A reliable source recently went on record with an update.

"I don't think she's going to come down, ever," said her son, actor Corbin Bernsen.

After 35 years on The Young and the Restless and nine daytime Emmy nominations, Cooper is taking it all in stride... while still reacting with shock over the news.

"She's one of these people — it means something, but it doesn't, really," Bernsen said. "She does it all for the thrill, for you guys, for the fans. That's how she is... She was actually truly, truly shocked, and it was a great night."

Here is SOAPnet's official preview for tonight's episode of General Hospital: Night Shift...

Episode 204 ("We'll Always Have Paris") – A French-speaking woman attacks Patrick (Jason Thompson) in the ER. Meanwhile, Jagger (Antonio Sabato, Jr.) lets Saira (Azita Ghanizada) evaluate Stone, Epiphany (Sonya Eddy) and Toussaint (Billy Dee Williams) go on their first date and Kyle (Adam Grimes) has to teach sex education to a group of senior citizens.

Later, Patrick and Robin (Kimberly McCullough) have bad news for Robert (Tristan Rogers) on General Hospital: Night Shift, Tuesday, August 12.

Earlier this year, Noelle Beck took over the role of Lily Snyder on As the World Turns. Therefore, fans of the series aren't overly familiar with the actress.

With that in mind, here's a look at a few fun facts about the star:

• She's a partner in a T-shirt company called Dear NYC, LLC.

• Enjoys boxing for fitness.

• Began work on the show Loving on her 17th birthday.
