Sigh, everytime I find out one of my fave soap stars has a positively raunchy sense of humor, it just makes me feel better about our planet. Check out General Hospital's Kimberly McCullough (Robin) and Ignacio Serrichio (ex-Diego) in Nikki Lynn Katt's "The Sock Song" after the jump. I don't know about you guys, but I'm going barefoot from now on!  (Not suitable for work or kiddos!) READ MORE

The fight is on to keep primetime bubble shows from, well, bursting. According to TV Guide.com's Matt Mitovich, Privileged, the smart, wholesome dramedy based on Zoey Dean's YA novel How To Teach Filthy Rich Girls has decided to add a little soap sizzle in the form of General Hospital grad Ignacio Serrichio.

While I admittedly made every joke under the message board sun about Serrichio's first stint as dim bulb stalker Diego, his reprisal for last year's Text Message Killer storyline was badass and liquid hot. Serrichio returned to GH a more confident and lethally-sexy actor. Gone were the dopey stares and awkward mumbling, replaced by intense, precision-like delivery and command of a scene that made you hate he didn't have a love interest the second time around.

Although I will never forgive Diego for not ridding Port Charles from Sam and her crotch crickets once and for all, Serrichio's addition to Privileged will definitely have me tuning in. Thanks Megan for the tip!
