Be sure to check out The Young and the Restless today. According to TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco, Hogan Sheffer's first co-head writing efforts air today and are "amazing"!
 
In other Genoa City News, veteran producer Paul Rauch (Another World, Santa Barbara, One Life to Live, Guiding Light) has been brought on as an executive consultant, according to TV Guide's Michael Logan.
 
It appears CBS and the Bells are pulling out all the stops to restore daytime's once grandest treasure. First bringing on Sheffer, who revitalized As The World Turns, as co-head writer,  then hiring Thom Racina aka King of the 80's Supercouples to pen scripts and now bringing on one of the most successful producers in the genre's history to consult.

Rauch most notably helmed Another World during its unstoppable 1970's period of ratings domination, yet his tenure at Guiding Light proved controversial as he greenlit several over-the-top storylines ( i.e. Reva's cloning, San Cristobel). However it must be noted that those larger-than-life stories did result in ratings surges for the soap. Stay tuned folks!

Kyra Sedgwick's hit TNT show The Closer returns tonight and the former Another World alum is on the August cover of Redbook magazine. The Closer is one of my favorite summer series and I can't wait for it and Saving Grace to return tonight.

In other The Closer news former General Hospital and Guiding Light star Stephen Martines will be making a guest appearance on the show.

Daytime and primetime soap alum-turned-mega-star Brad Pitt (Another World, Dallas) is a proud papa once again. The Associated Press reported today that Pitt's lady love Angelina Jolie delivered fraternal twins-a boy (Knox Leon) and a girl (Vivienne Marcheline) late Saturday night. Congrats to the couple on welcoming perhaps the most genetically-blessed children in the history of mating.

People is reporting that former Another World star Anne Heche is up a tree...er creek, now that her ABC show Men In Trees has been canceled. Heche told a judge that she can no longer pay the $15,000 a month in child support she was paying while starring in Men in Trees. This is what she wrote in cour papers.

I am continuing to look for work, but I have no offers pending and the impending strike by the Screen Actors Guild reduces my prospects for work even further...Since January 18, 2008, I have been unemployed and had no income from employment except for one very short-term contract for a movie role for which I received a total of $65,000, approximately the amount I received for one episode of Men In Trees." 

Fun fact: Anne Heche is the all time favorite soap star of Daytime Confidential's Jamey.
