Cameron Mathison had fun at the 2008 Daytime Emmys.

We wish Vanessa Marcil was returning to General Hospital.
But we'll take this talented beauty any way we can get her - and, according to TV Guide, we can get her on Lipstick Jungle on November 11.
The publication says Marcil is due to appear on the Sex and the City-type show for three episodes beginning on that date. She'll portray a love interest for Paul Blackthorne's character, which won't exactly please the character played by Brooke Shields.
Lipstick Jungle airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
Two fun-loving soap stars were quoted making humorous observations this week. To wit;
"I'm finally on a workout kick and now I'm going to pregnant?" - Guiding Light actress Kim Zimmer on the revelation that Reva is pregnant.
"I've gotten used to lip gloss. I kind of like it on me. I find myself sexy with lip gloss on." - As the World Turns actor Mick Hazen, pictured, on kissing scenes with co-star Meredith Hagner.

New York Magazine recently published an in-depth look at the top five young stars in the world of soap operas. Here's a look two stars in the feature:
Marcy Rylan, 27
PLAYS: Lizzie Spaulding on Guiding Light
“A sitcom superstar in the making,” says Michael Logan, who writes TV Guide’s weekly soap column. “Or is she? For all her irresistible zaniness, she’s a hell of a tragedienne—the kind who grabs your heart and won’t let go.”
Van Hansis, 26
PLAYS: Luke Snyder on As the World Turns
“A sweet, tender, immensely brave actor,” says Logan, “who has weathered a firestorm of controversy in a landmark role.” (Hansis plays one of the rare gay men on soaps.) “Even the anti-gay, Christian-right grannies gotta love him.”
Attention, Days of Our Lives fans:
Beginning on August 11, the series will offer special programming due to NBC's coverage of the Olympics.
Concerned that certain parts of the country might not get to see Days of Our Lives every day during the event, the show will kick off two limited-arc storylines.
"We didn't want to advance our front-burner stories knowing some fans would be missing out," explains Bruce Evans, senior vice president, Daytime and Drama Programming told Soap Opera Digest.
