In a very special livestream interview on You Tube’s Michael Fairman Channel, two of the soap opera genre’s most popular stars, Greg Rikaart and Elizabeth Hendrickson, will discuss their careers, working together, their enduring friendship and more, as we mark several milestone. It all happens on Tuesday night, July 18th beginning at 7:30 PM ET/4:30 PM PT.
This month, Greg (Kevin, Y&R and Leo, DAYS) is celebrating his 20th anniversary on daytime. Rikaart debuted on The Young and the Restless back in 2003 as Kevin Fisher, the troublemaking younger brother of Michael Baldwin. Now, 20 years later, he still inhabits the role, while also playing another troublemaker, LGBTQ character, Leo Stark on Days of our Lives, a part which he has played since 2018.
In his daytime career, Greg took home a Daytime Emmy in 2005 for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for his work on Y&R, and has been nominated 6 other times. In story, Y&R viewers know Kevin is married to Chloe (Elizabeth Hendrickson) and they are raising two young children together, but as we have seen, Kevin and Chloe are not about to bring the mischief, or get their hands dirty if need be in Genoa City.

Elizabeth Hendrickson has had an extensive soap opera journey of her own. 2023 marks her 15th anniversary in Genoa City and her 22nd year in daytime. Soap viewers first fell in love with her back in 2001 in the role of All My Children’s Frankie Stone. The character was killed off even though she became so popular and paired in a romantic storyline with Eden Riegel’s Bianca Montgomery. Eventually, AMC brought Liz back, but this time to play Frankie’s twin sister, Maggie.
Later in 2008, Hendrickson joined Y&R in the role of Chloe Mitchell, who turned out to be the daughter of Katherine Chancellor’s maid, Esther Valentine (Kate Linder). Chloe often found herself in troubled relationships with men including Cane and Billy, before finding her soulmate in Kevin Fisher.
In 2018, Liz appeared for less than a year in the role of Margaux Dawson on General Hospital, before heading back to reprise her signature role of Chloe on Y&R in 2019. Along the way, Liz has been nominated for five Daytime Emmy Awards.

![](https://michaelfairmantv.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/Serena-Scott-e1714265115951.png)
Look who’s coming to Salem next? In a tease on their official Instagram account, Days of our Lives has revealed that Serena Scott Thomas has been on set and will debut in an upcoming role, leaving many fans guessing just who might she play.
The English actress and documentary producer has previously starred in Diana, Her Story as Diane Prince of Wales, Dr. Molly Warmflash in the James Bond film The World Is Not Enough, and played the villainess ‘Watcher” in Buffy, the Vampire Slayer, and Bruce Willis’ wife in the film, Hostages among others.
Serena is the younger sister of Kristen Scott Thomas, best known for her Oscar-nominated role in The English Patient. Several DAYS fans are already weighing in that Serena will play Konstantine’s (John Kaeplos) wife.

However, NannyKat 63 may have it all figured out the best, when she posted, that not only will “Serena play Kostantine’s wife,” but the character “had an affair with Victor Kiriakis and got pregnant.” Thus, making Xander (Paul Telfer) her son. She went on to theorize, “Perhaps, And John and Steve will find her in the nick of time… and she’ll enter in time to stop the wedding of Maggie to him. Xander will find out his true identity then. The baby was given to Victor’s brother to be raised in Scotland.”

Sounds plausible to us! Another guess came from donnamoore_23 who said, “Ya’ll think he could be Bobberette ‘s mom or sister or .. SOMETHING to do with his story .. someone who can back up what trauma he went through to be so sick? 🤷🏼♀️ but I think y’all are right could be Katerina.”
