We all love Michael and Lauren as the hot couple they are on Y&R. And now they're bring that chemistry to music videos. Christian LeBlanc and Tracey Bregman play the parents of a bride in a country music video for Reba McEntire's new video. How did this unlikely occurrence happen? It just so happens that McEntire and Bregman are friends, whose sons have known each other since the 6th grade.

Last week we mentioned that Y&R put out a casting call for the role of Simone, a vivacious, outspoken, energetic woman, who seems to love herself a bit too much. Casting calls are usually harmless and not all that interesting. Some may never turn into an on-air roll at all, but this certain casting has a lot of people talking. The speculation is that this role could be the next Drucilla Winters. The role will be a prominent one for an upcoming storyline and has been touted as a fun, breakthrough role.  Some fans are speculating that this role is being recast for Drucilla Winters who was played by Victoria Rowell for over 15 years. This wouldn't be the first time that Y&R has tried to recapture the Drucilla-esque persona in a character. In 2008 Eva Marcille, best known as the winner of America's Next Top Model, was hired for the role of Tyra Hamilton. She didn't catch on with viewers and was quickly written out.

Arleen Sorkin will be reprising her role as Calliope Jones, but much like her previous returns this will be a short one, and air during May sweeps. Her most recent return to Salem was in 2006 to help plan Marlena Evan's wedding.

Charles Shaughnessy who played Shane Donovan for over eight years is returning to DOOL. There are no details yet on why Shaughnessy is returning or who his storyline includes, but what is known is that he will be staying on longer than most of the Days stars who are returning around the same time.

News: What's it really like to be in Salem, and what do all those trifling story lines really mean? Well Days fans, you're in luck! A series of fiction and nonfiction books are being published to tell the Days story in all its entirety. The first book to be released will be a memoir penned by executive producer Ken Corday. The novels will include characters from the past 44 years, as well as insider details about the origins, history and behind the scenes drama of the daytime soap.  The Days of our Lives: The Untold Story of One Family's Dream and the True History of The Days of our Lives will be written by Ken Corday who is the son of Ted and Betty Corday, the founders of Days of our Lives.
