Isn't the Grass Supposed to be Greener?

Here are some quick briefs about what is going on with some All My Children alums on other daytime dramas:

• Elizabeth Hendrickson (ex-Maggie Stone) has just signed a multi-year deal with CBS' The Young and the Restless to continue in the role of fashionista Chloe. This is Hendrickson's first major role since leaving All My Children in 2005. This unfortunately makes her unavailable for any cameos in Pine Valley, like her last stint in 2007. Check out Hendrickson's backstage vlog from co-star Tracey E. Bregman's (Lauren Fenmore Baldwin) dressing room HERE.
• In other Genoa City news, Vincent Irizarry (ex-Dr. David Hayward) confirms on his MySpace that he has been let go. Irizarry took on the role of David Chow only months after last airing on All My Children in 2006.
  
• If you were watching As The World Turns today, you saw former Dr. Jeff Martin, John James, moonlighting as another MD, Rick Decker in scenes at the Oakdale Police Department. James' role is recurring, just as supposedly is his role as Jeff.
• Genie Francis (ex-Ceara Connor) is set to reprise her signature role of Laura Spencer on General Hospital this August. Though the Emmy Winner's run is slated to be a short one, Francis has made it clear she wants to return for the long haul.
  

Flashback: Pine Valley in 1999

SOD Online's latest feature is a Flashback Quiz to 1999, a year when Ryan Lavery (Cameron Mathison) was on the run for raping Kit Montgomery (Paige Rowland) and Opal (Jill Larson) learned about another long lost son.

Our favorite leading lady Susan Lucci had to play out a hilariously cheesy storyline where Erica Kane's face was disfigured in a car accident forcing her to wear a Phantom of the Enchantment Office-like half mask. Luckily for her, and for viewers, it sparked the beginning of one of her most memorable romances... that with Dr. David Hayward (Vincent Irizarry).

Paging Dr. Hayward

It's strange to see Vincent Irizarry (ex-David Hayward) in cast photos for another show. Nonetheless, it looks like the West Coast is treating this multiple Emmy Award Nominee well.

You can check out Irizarry in his new role as gambling addict David Chow on The Young and Restless on CBS at 12:30am EST or on CBS.com. You'll be a little depressed afterwards when you realize how a good soap handles production values, and writing, and acting etc, etc, etc...
