Scoops, & Spoilers Below
NEWS
Joanna Johnson (Karen) has come out as gay as B&B embarks on its first-ever
lesbian storyline. She revealed the news to TV Guide saying, "Daytime is a whole
different world than prime-time or theater or film.... I was so worried I
wouldn't be employable as an actress if people knew I was a lesbian. Or that I
wouldn't be believable in romance stories. I had to deal with a lot of
self-loathing." Johnson also shared that she is married and has two children.
The actress's B&B alter ego, Karen, is revealed to be a lesbian this week with
the debut of her partner, Crystal Chappell's Danielle.

continue "to explore all broadcast possibilities including
network, cable and digital media in order to produce a
prestigious show that will satisfy the daytime community,
fans and the worldwide viewing audiences."

Jack Wagner (Nick, B&B; ex-Frisco, GH; ex-Jacques, Sunset Beach) was reunited
with his biological daughter, Kerry, 23, in Boca Raton, Florida, on November
17, 2011. Before a concert with fellow GH alum Rick Springfield (ex-Noah),
Kerry approached him backstage and revealed that she's the daughter he'd given
up for adoption in the late '80s. She showed him a photo of her biological
mother, whom the actor recognized. The next night, Jack invited Kerry on stage
with him and revealed to the audience that he'd "been" with her mother back in
the day; the woman then called him nine months later to inform him that she'd
had his baby but was giving her up for adoption. Kerry was raised in a foster
home, then hired a private investigator to find her biological parents. Jack
also has two sons with ex-wife Kristina Wagner (ex-Felicia, GH): Peter, 21 and
Harrison, 16. Jack and Heather Locklear announced the end
of their engagement.
Lindsay Price (ex-An-Li Chen Bodine; ex-Michael, B&B) and Australian chef
Curtis Stone had a baby boy named Hudson on November 6, 2011. They moved into a $3.1
million mansion in the Hollywood Hills together in April.
To make the Daytime Emmy nomination process fairer in
2012, NATAS (The National Academy of Television Arts and
Sciences) has instituted some changes. There will no longer
be a limit of 2 actors from each show who can submit their
name in the pre-nomination process in each category.
Therefore, everyone will have a chance to be considered for
an award, not just the most well-known actors. Also, judging
pre-nominees hopefuls will take place online. The top 10
pre-nominees from each category will be announced on March
2, 2012.
Emmy-winning writer Michele Val Jean has left GH after 18
years to join B&B's writing team. She also wrote for "Santa
Barbara" and "Generations."

written "The Modern Gentleman: Cooking and Entertaining with
