TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan caught up with Days of our Lives' Judi Evans and discussed her return to Salem as Adrienne Kiriakis.

It’s so terrific to have you back on Days. Plus, we find Adrienne in a rather fresh kind of romantic triangle with Justin [Wally Kurth] and Hope [Kristian Alfonso]. There’s no villain here, no one to hate or resent. It’s radically adult.

It makes a great dynamic and I’m hoping they’ll keep it playing. Adrienne and Hope are friends and they’re both good girls and Justin’s a good guy. No one is being manipulative. Hope didn’t have the same feelings for Justin that he had for her, so she brought Adrienne back to Salem, thinking he was just substituting her for Adrienne. She tried to do a good thing by reuniting them. Usually in a triangle the ex shows up out of nowhere—or comes back from the dead!—but here it’s just three nice people trying to do the right thing.

Last week Luke and Jamey interviewed All My Children's Walt Willey (pictured above with the ACME cast) about his hosting of ACME Comedy Theatre’s “Unscripted Hollywood Dream Role” on April 9 and now you can see photos from the event. Check them out after the jump! READ MORE

Jackson Montgomery is back, and we've got him! On today's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast, Luke and Jamey talk to All My Children veteran and all around nice guy Walt Willey, who recently reprised his signature role as Erica Kane's (Susan Lucci) most enduring lover on the sudser.

This Friday, April 9 at 9 pm Willey will be appearing at SoCal's hottest spot for sketch comedy, ACME Comedy Theatre, where he will be hosting "Unscripted Hollywood Dream Role". Willey offers DC listeners a preview of his upcoming show, and gives his hilarious reaction to having witnessed the infamous Kato Kaelin hosting the show when he first visited ACME.

"He's held up good since the white van days," Willey quips.

Then the discussion shifts, of course, to what it's like for Willey to be back in Pine Valley— by way of Los Angeles instead of New York— and to be working again with the likes of Rebecca Budig, Vincent Irizarry, Julia Barr, and of course the unforgettable Susan Lucci. It's an interview Pine Valley lovers and comedy buffs alike won't wanna miss!

If you are in the SoCal area be sure to go see Walt Willey in ACME Comedy Theatre's "Unscripted Hollywood Dream Role" this Friday night at 9 pm. ACME Comedy Theatre is located at 135 N. La Brea Ave Hollywood, CA 90036. For everyone else, you can watch the show being streamed live at www.acmecomedy.com. We will also be posting a reminder with the link on the blog before the show. Also, be sure to visit Walt Willey's official website Willey World.

The interim writing regime is off to a running start over at All My Children. Michael Fairman spoke with the face of daytime, Susan Lucci, about her altar ego's romance with Ryan and what fans can look forward to.

MICHAEL: Ryan, Greenlee and Erica will possibly have a triangle in the New Year. Are you looking forward to that story?

SUSAN: I have no doubts about that. The Ryan/Erica thing is very new and we have had some fun stuff to play just before Thanksgiving, and certainly Greenlee coming back into the picture will complicate things. I think it might also mean that Jackson may be back, so we can have a lot of complications all the way around.

This just in. According to insiders, Julie Hanan Caruthers has re-signed her contract with All My Children. Hanan Caruthers will in fact remain as executive producer as AMC makes its transition to Los Angeles and its new high definition filming style. Walt Willey (Jack) on the other hand may not be so lucky.  

"Walt is officially off contract," says a mole. "Also, Ray Mac Donnell wasn't at the cast meeting." READ MORE

Sources are telling TV Guide Canada's Nelson Branco All My Children may be trying to phase out leading man Walt Willey (Jackson), and push daytime's most famous face Susan Lucci (Erica) to take recurring!

Don’t expect the contract player to appear in Pine Valley “for a while; they want to force him on recurring,” maintains an insider. ABC is also trying to figure out a way to throw Susan Lucci (Erica) on recurring, offers a major network insider. “She just costs too much,” he/she explained. Don’t worry, fans — the network doesn’t know how they will pull this off, but they’re trying to find a way to do it. Hello: L.A.!

Long before she was the most controversial woman to ever appear on one of Bravo's Real Housewives reality serials, Danielle Staub of The Real Housewives of New Jersey fame tried her hand at acting. Here she is in a scene from All My Children, playing Maura opposite Walt Willey (Jackson) and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen star Josh Duhamel (ex-Leo). MVID courtesy of coronaryten.

On today's ABC episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Regan and Eye on Soap's Belinda discuss the latest in All My Children, General Hospital and One Life to Live news including...

All My Children's Walt Willey paying the price for speaking out against the Lily and Jonathon pairing during McTavish's reign as head writer. Would Belinda and Regan buy New York and Company clothing based on what All My Children stars are wearing?

The "What if Maxie died" episode was supposed to be really good. Did it live up to the hype? Many major characters were missing in this alternate Port Charles and would Robin really be a robot? Should we be thanking our lucky stars that General Hospital has Maxie and not BJ? Sonny and Jason have reunited. The romance of ages - Jason and Sonny - has reunited, but does anyone care about the regurgitation of this "dynamic" duo? Have opinions changes about NotEmily and Ethan?

David Vickers and the Buchanan family found out that David is Bo's son, but where does the show go from here? In the long run, is it better that David is Bo's son or should he have remained Asa's long lost son? Belinda can't seem to decide whether or not she enjoys the Blair/Todd/Marty/John storyline or if she doesn't.

It looks like Cady McClain (ex-Dixie) wasn't the only All My Children star who caught hell for daring to speak out against She Who Wielded The Poisoned Laptop.  Popular Pine Valley leading man Walt Willey (Jack) revealed during a joint interview between AMC Superposter and Willey's Official My Space profile, that he too "paid the price" for speaking out about former AMC head writer Megan McTavish's decision to pair Jack's Autistic daughter Lily (Leven Rambin) with tumor-less, homicidal maniac Jonathan (Jeff Branson).
