As As the World Turns fans are gladly aware of, Kelley Menighan Hensley is back on the series. She recently talked to CBS about the return:

CBS.com: Welcome back. How does it feel to be back on set?
Kelley Menighan Hensley: Thanks. It feels good. It took me a couple of weeks to say it feels good, but it feels good now.

CBS.com: What’s it like being a mom for the third time?
Kelley Menighan Hensley: It’s the best the third time around. [I’m] way more relaxed, way more appreciative of what I have, and just holding on to every moment.

CBS.com: What do you think is the biggest difference being a mom this time?
Kelley Menighan Hensley: All I can say is, I have so many friends trying to get pregnant, whether it’s their first child or their third child, and they cannot. I’ve had friends who have lost pregnancies. The gratefulness and the appreciation for this life that I’ve been given are unspeakable.

CBS.com: It’s not like Emily returned to town slowly. You had a major storyline when you left, and a big one upon your return.
Kelley Menighan Hensley: Yeah, but you know what? It’s actually been nice. When [the show and I] agreed on when I was coming back, I begged them to let September be easy days, [a] light schedule. I was not thrilled about coming back initially. I was not thrilled about leaving [new baby GiGi], more so than with my other two [children]. But now that I’m back, I’m in a groove.

She’s on a schedule; I’m on a schedule. Jon and I are almost always opposite work schedules. And having the same nanny that I’ve had since I was pregnant with my first – that’s nine years – makes it [so that] I don’t even think about it when I’m here.

We'll get back to As the World Turns spoilers and news soon.

First, though, allow us some time to bask in the shirtless glory of two soap opera hunks: Agim Kaba and Austin Peck.

Swoon... 

We've already provided a few As the World Turns spoilers for this week, but head writer Jean Passanante recently opened up to Soap Opera Digest about what fans can look forward to all month long.

"Watch for actions and their consequences: the dramatic lengths to which some women will go to hold onto the men they love. Surprising alliances. Returns and new arrivals," said Jean Passanante.

Lily/Holden: "Big stuff.... stay tuned. It will be a real Snyder Thanksgiving with some additions, subtractions, and definitely some fireworks. And of course the Hubbard squash."

Dusty/Emily/Chris: "After a couple of years of Sturm und Drang, Emily is happy to be in what she hopes is a more easygoing relationship."

Aaron/Alison/Will/Gwen/Cole/Sofie: "I'll just say that Aaron continues to try to help Sofie and to be on her side. Gwen and Will have their ups and downs but Will is determined to give Gwen what she wants. Stay tuned for an unholy alliance between Barbara and Iris."

Here are a handful of As the World Turns spoilers for the week...

• Katie (Terri Colombino) starts digging and comes close to discovering Carly's secret.

• Meg makes one last attempt to keep Paul away from Rosanna.

• Iris and Barbara begin a dangerous relationship.

• Emily and Alison try to put the past behind them.

• Luke (Van Hansis, pictured) gives Noah a hard time.

Tune in today, As the World Turns fans, in order to say goodbye to a longtime actress on the show.

It's the last episode for Alexandra Chando, as she makes her final appearance as Maddie Coleman, who's leaving for Wesleyan University.

The star, who joined the show in 2005, was let go for storyline reasons.

During a recent fan event in Boston sponsored by CosmoGIRL, a pair of As the World Turns actors showed their affected for Heidi Montag, star of the MTV reality series The Hills.

Then again, there's a very good chance Van Hansis and Michael Graziadei are just mocking the heck out of the spoiled cover girl. We certainly hope that's the case.

Take a look:
