ALL MY CHILDREN's Eden Riegel (Bianca) announced this past Father's Day that she's about to become a mother for a second time! "I'm thrilled to announce today, on Father's Day, that I'm going to make Andrew Miller, the greatest dad I know, a father all over again!" she posted on Twitter.

The actress' former on-screen sister, Alicia Minshew (ex-Kendall) wished them well, tweeting in response: "Congrats my friends! So happy for you both! A new Miller to squeeze!" And Riegel's on-screen daughter, Denyse Tontz (Miranda) tweeted, "Congratulations to you both!"

Riegel and her husband have one son, Jack Oscar Miller, who is two. Best wishes to the parents-to-be!

The character that Chrishell Stause is going to be playing over on DAYS OF OUR LIVES is still being kept very hush-hush, but the actress assures us that she's going to be very different than ALL MY CHILDREN's Amanda! "I'm really excited about the character," she tells In Depth, before adding, "which I can't talk about yet."

But even though DAYS is a whole new show, there are still some familiar faces that made her feel right at home. "I've known a lot of people through daytime events like Greg Vaughan (Eric) and Eric Martsolf (Brady)," Stause reveals. "I've known some of these people just from being in the same business."

Unfortunately, her role on DAYS means that she'll be unavailable to join the new AMC. "I knew this was something I was going to pursue," she admits. "But I love AMC. It will always have a place in my heart. I would never say no in the future, but for now it doesn't contractually work out for me."

Since moving to the internet where there are no network censors, ALL MY CHILDREN has been pushing boundaries, and you may have heard a little something about a rather racy scene between a couple of characters in the episode that went online on Wednesday, June 12. While nothing graphic was actually shown, some viewers were still shocked by the sexually suggestive scene. But what did Brooke Newton (Colby) and Robert Scott Wilson (Pete) think about shooting it?

"I'd never done an on-screen kiss in my entire life before coming to this show," confesses Newton. "I knew it was going to be a big challenge for me as an actress, so accept it and embrace it."

She also admits that she didn't speak with her co-star before shooting the scene. "Other actors talk about what they're comfortable doing and what they're not," Newton says. "I feel, as an actress, I just need to be the character. I can't put any limitations on myself."

"We had a very long day, both Brooke and I," Wilson adds. "It was about 9:30 at night. We started working at 8 am. We had a new director that day, who was great. We actually nailed that scene in one take!"

Despite the awkwardness, he says that the crew was very respectful, and he never felt uncomfortable at all while taping the sex scene. "We were both a little nervous," Wilson confides. "Once the scene started, we were completely out of our heads and had fun with it. I think it came across how we wanted it to."

At last night's 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, there were quite a few repeat winners, and some big surprises. DAYS OF OUR LIVES went home with the night's biggest trophy, its first win in the Outstanding Drama Series category since 1978! "It's a well-deserved tribute to a great bunch of wonderful actors, writers... everyone gives it their best," said Peggy McCay (Caroline) of the sudser's triumph. "I couldn't be happier. It's for all of us."

GENERAL HOSPITAL newbie Bryan Craig (Morgan) is an active, athletic guy, but sometimes that comes at a price! "I was playing football and was running really fast and tripped," he confides. "I landed on it and broke my hand and wrist." And unfortunately, because broken bones can take a month or two to heal, the actor will be in a cast for that time... and so will his Port Charles alter ego! "They did write it into the show," Craig reveals. But what accident could befall poor Morgan? Is there still someone out there he owes money too? Tune in and find out!

The rumors can now be laid to rest. Soaps In Depth caught up with GENERAL HOSPITAL's Bradford Anderson (Spinelli) at a pre-Emmy party in Beverly Hills and learned the real reason behind his new status as a recurring player.

"I've been on the show for seven years, and I'm still sticking around," he tells In Depth exclusively. "I'd just like to flex my creative muscles and dip my toe in the creative waters but still keep the fires burning at GH. I feel so incredibly lucky to be playing this character, to have created him and to see where the twists and turns of his development take him. Spinelli has plenty of adventures ahead. I'm here, and I hope you will be, too."

As central a character as Spinelli has become over the years, it's easy to forget that when Anderson first came aboard in November of 2006, it was on a recurring basis. It wasn't until six months later that the soap signed him to a long-term deal.

GENERAL HOSPITAL's Finola Hughes (Anna) already made the transition from dancer to actor to fashion guru. Now she's reinvented herself again by directing The Bet, a romantic comedy from screenwriters Annie J. Dahlgren and Christina Eliason and the all-volunteer cast and crew of Community Film Studio Santa Barbara (CFSSB). "This script was chosen because it was easy to shoot: There were a ton of locations, but they were all local," offers Hughes, a Santa Barbara resident who screened the picture last weekend at Hollywood's Dances With Films festival. "And we were able to do it for $35,000!"
