THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL: After Steffy returned from her and Liam’s Aspen honeymoon, Hope, who doesn’t want to see Steffy every day, “suggested” that she quit Forrester and go to work for Spencer Communications. Brooke cried on Eric’s shoulder after learning from her doctor that her symptoms indicate the onset of menopause. Taylor fumed when Eric sided with Brooke after Taylor accused her of sleeping with Bill. To keep Rick and Maya apart, Caroline asked Carter to help with a charity fashion show featuring the Brooke’s Bedroom men’s line. DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Vargas gave Nick $30,000 and ordered him to triple the money ASAP. Sonny and Sami searched Nick’s room. Sonny found a recording of Will admitting he shot A.J., which he then deleted. Sami stole the $30,000 (unaware it belonged to Vargas) after finding it while searching for another copy of Will’s confession. Sami denied knowing about the money when Nick came looking for it. Gabi threatened to leave Nick if he doesn’t tell her why he’s been so rattled lately. Sami was livid when she learned Stefano, who had agreed to help her and Will,
is planning to double-cross them. When Nicole threatened to tell Eric that Vargas is up to something fishy, he threatened to reveal that she has feelings for a priest (Eric). Kate broke up with Rafe to protect him from Stefano. Justin was stunned when E.J. asked him to help bring down Stefano. Ciara gave Kristen the envelope that contained the photo of her paying off Sy. GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny headed for Morgan’s private school after learning from Connie that someone is using Morgan to get to Sonny. Johnny told Connie that Morgan lost a lot of money in an online gambling scam run by some prison inmates. Maxie admitted to Ellie that she’s carrying Spinelli’s baby, after Ellie learned that Maxie had miscarried Lulu and Dante’s baby. Maxie grabbed the phone and hung up when Ellie called Spinelli to tell him the baby news. Carly and A.J.’s argument turned into a bout of sweaty physical intimacy. Later, Carly panicked over missing Sonny’s calls about Morgan. Nikolas kissed Elizabeth, who said that they can’t be together. Elizabeth later told A.J. that she wanted to give him another chance. Lulu and Milo
kissed after Max found them together. Dante refused to leave Milo’s place after learning Lulu was staying there. Spinelli is close to finding Lauren, who could be the Quartermaine heir. THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS: Leslie and Tyler visited with their father (Gus) at the hospital. When Leslie asked Gus about the woman named Rose, he said it was just something he messed up years ago. Later, the doctor rushed into Gus’ room when his life-support monitors went off. Lily, Devon, Cane, Murphy and Jill waited for word on Kay, who was undergoing surgery to remove her brain tumor. Jill was livid when she learned that Kay had asked Cane to take over Chancellor Industries if she wasn’t able to return to work after the surgery. Avery asked Nick if he still wanted to be engaged after he admitted that he doesn’t think she’s over Dylan. Avery went to Dylan and asked him to leave town because his presence is affecting her relationship with Nick. Avery learned that Dylan is staying in town because (he believes) Chelsea is pregnant with his baby. Michael called Lauren and was surprised that a man (Carmine) answered.
‘GH’ celebrates milestone ChopChop top food mag “General Hospital” recently celebrated a milestone anniversary: 50 years on the air. In honor of the momentous occasion, the show was honored with a special gathering at the Paley Center in Los Angeles. Executive producer Frank Valentini, head writer Ron Carlivati and an array of the show’s top stars were on hand to share thoughts and memories of the iconic soap and celebrate its resurgence in the ratings. Cast members raved about the two men at the soap’s helm. ‘’There’s an energy that’s never been there, before Frank and Ron,” said Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie). “They respect the past and are propelling us to the future.” Jason Thompson (Patrick) added that Valentini “is the first person there in the morning and the last to leave at night.” As for the show’s current success, Finola Hughes (Anna) put it best. “We
have great characters on the show and we tell great stories,” she said. “People respond to both of those things. If you honor the characters that you have on a show and you make it sexy and cool and fast and fun and sharp and witty, you’re going to have an audience.” Carlivati revealed that he’d been a “GH” fan for decades, having begun watching at the age of 10. “I think it was when Laura killed David Hamilton,” he shared, adding that he believes his storytelling appeals to viewers because he’s writing “from a fan’s perspective.” Among the memorable storylines discussed were Luke and Laura’s adventures with Helena Cassadine, originally played by film legend Elizabeth Taylor, and Robin being diagnosed with HIV. Kimberly McCullough (Robin), who was 16 when she began playing out the HIV story, admitted not knowing what it really meant at the time, but
understanding how really important it was “not only to entertain, but to make a difference in people’s lives.” Anthony Geary (Luke) recalled working with Taylor. “She was so much fun when she first came on,” he said, recounting an early scene in which she kept mispronouncing Cassadine. “After messing up 14 takes, she said, ‘I’m sorry, folks, I’m just not used to acting.’ She had a great sense of humor.” As for other fond memories of cast mates who have passed away, Geary mentioned John Beradino (ex-Steve Hardy), saying that he thinks of him “every single day” when he is on set. Meanwhile, Jane Elliot (Traci) mentioned her beloved Quartermaine parents, played by the late Anna Lee (ex-Lila) and David Lewis and John Ingle (ex-Edward). “I hate when people say ‘It’s like a family,’” said Elliot, adding that working with that trio “truly was.”
Anthony Bourdain, Andrew Zimmern honored No trendy restaurants. No fancy equipment. No hard-to-find hipster ingredients. The pages of this year’s top food publication don’t read like your average gourmet glossy. That’s because the only trend ChopChop magazine — named publication of the year by the James Beard Foundation on Friday — cares about is how to get America’s children eating healthier. Billed as the “fun cooking magazine for families,” ChopChop was launched in 2010 by cookbook author Sally Sampson to give parents and kids the tools to fight childhood obesity. Though the magazine is available by subscription, one of its primary methods of distribution is by pediatricians giving copies to their patients. The foundation’s awards honor those who follow in the footsteps of Beard, considered the dean of American cooking when he died in 1985. The ceremony was held in New York, where the Beard Foundation is based. Friday’s ceremony honored winners in media and publishing; a separate ceremony on Monday will be held for chefs and restaurants. Earlier this year, tough talking
television chef Anthony Bourdain made news for his jump to CNN. But on Friday, he was honored for his work on public television. His “The Mind of a Chef” was named best on-location television program. Meanwhile, Andrew Zimmern of Travel Channel’s “Bizarre Foods America” was named outstanding host. The cookbook of the year honor went to Maricel E. Presilla’s massive ode to the food of Latin America, “Gran Cocina Latina.” The 912-page book covers a tremendous swath of cuisines and cultures, explaining the common threads that run through the region’s many foodways. Prolific cookbook author Anne Willan was named to the foundation’s Cookbook Hall of Fame. Willan has written extensively on the foods of France, including the cookbook “The Country Cooking of France,” which won two Beard awards in 2008. In 1975, she founded the Ecole de Cuisine La Varenne cooking school in Paris. In the blogging world, the group food blog award went to DarkRye. com, the edgy web magazine of grocer Whole Foods Market. The site focuses on the blending of food, health, sustainability, design, tech and social enterprise.
