Here’s a bit of fun and wacky soap news from The Bold and the Beautiful! The CBS soap has revealed to TV Guide that the legendary funny gal, Phyllis Diller (at 94-years-old) will be returning to the soap for a two-day guest spot this coming March!
According to TVG, “Diller will again play Gladys Pope, who was a madcap makeup artist seen numerous times on the show from 1995 to 2004. B&B is keeping the details on Diller’s return under wraps but this much we can tell you: Gladys is back with a whole new vocation and will play an integral part in a very romantic event — one that’s perfectly timed for the soap’s 25th anniversary!”
Hmm, what could that romantic event be? Any guesses? Let us know!

Richards is joining B&B in a contract role. What we do know from the series EP and head writer, Brad Bell as told to PEOPLE: “Shauna is a fun-loving, hard-working single mother from Las Vegas who aspires to live life to its absolute fullest. She heads for Los Angeles when she learns that her daughter, Florence ‘Flo’, the pride and joy of her life, is entangled in a complicated situation. However, Shauna’s involvement won’t stop there. She’s got a past and big secrets to spill.”
Look for Denise to start her B&B adventure taping all-new episodes this Friday with her debut on April 3.

Jussie Smollett Scenes Cut From ‘Empire’ In Light Of Attack Investigation

As of Tuesday, the production of Fox’s hit series, Empire has slashed Jussie Smollett’s upcoming scenes following reports that the suspicion is now on him for allegedly staging the “hate” attack he reported to the Chicago PD back on January 29th.
According to production sources viaTMZ: Jussie was supposed to have nine scenes and a big musical performance in the second-to-last episode of Season 5, Now, five scenes and the musical number have been axed. Smollett’s character is also no longer the focus of his remaining four scenes, which will now feature an ensemble of characters.
The actor/singer who portrays Jamal Lyon will be working Friday and possibly Thursday but won’t be rehearsing.
The Empire writers are said to have been scrambling over the last 24 hours to revise this season’s scripts.
All of this despite despite strongly expressed renewed support by Empire showrunner Brett Mahoney on February 17th. The goal now is said to be to reduce Smollett’s role both in dramatic stints and musical performances.
Empire returns for the remainder of its fifth season on March 13.
Smollett claims he was the victim of a racist and homophobic attack near his Chicago apartment, but things took a turn when he may have paid two friends to help stage the assault.
This case is said to be going before a Grand Jury as early as today.
What are your thoughts on the latest developments in the Smollett case and Empire reducing his appearances for the remainder of the season? Comment below.

TODAY: Y&R’s Melody Thomas Scott Visits ‘The Talk’ As Her 40th Anniversary Week As Nikki Newman Kicks-Off

On today’s broadcast of the CBS afternoon series, The Talk, the ladies welcome Y&R icon, Melody Thomas Scott, who this week celebrates her incredible 40th anniversary with the show as Nikki Newman.
During her segment, Melody chats on Wednesday’s upcoming standalone episode where Nikki is in jail reflecting on her life. Wednesday is also the exact date of Thomas Scott’s 40th anniversary with the CBS Daytime drama series.
During the segment Melody fills the ladies in on the “All About Nikki” episode, as she relates: “I was so thrilled that they did this. It’s truly, really the life of Nikki in the entirety of the episode. It’s all about Nikki. And she’s in jail. She’s writing a letter to her grandchildren so that she can explain who she really is, how she got to where she is. I have to narrate it, I’ve got a voice-over, a long voice-over. And then, as I’m thinking about all these different times in my life, I can’t believe I’m referring to me as her, her life, then we see the flashbacks. And for the longtime viewers, even current viewers, it is such a trip down memory lane. I mean, you are on that train and you’re not getting off…all of the clips have not been seen since they were first aired.”

In addition, Melody addresses the passing of her longtime co-star and friend, Kristoff St. John relating: “I adored him. We all adored him. There was something very unique and magical about him. He would just draw you into his wonderful world. And all of his bear hugs, I can’t believe I’ll never get a bear hug. Going to any kind of event, any party, the first thing I said when I got there was ‘Where’s Kristoff?’ I want to find Kristoff, I want to be with him, I want to be in his air space. Because that’s the kind of guy he was, and I think that came through on camera. I think everybody sensed that, I mean everybody adored him.”
So, will you be checking out Melody on today’s episode of The Talk (2PMEST and 1PM PST) today? Comment below.

Yah!!!! Love Phyllis and will watch her on anything, including B&B! Please announce the dates when you find out so I can dvr them!
You go, Ms. Diller!
Hmmmm… I bet it will involve a Forrester and/or Logan. After all, there is nobody else in Los Angeles or the fashion world for the characters to meet and build a relationship lasting more than a week with!
Seriously, one would hope Eric and Stephanie could find their way back to each other and storng-arm their near-incestuous family into shape.
Fun and wacky for sure. I think it’s great to include her. I can’t stand how some people are treated after they reach a certain age. I will never forget GH dumping 90 year old Anna Lee who played Lila Quartermaine. She was everyone’s beloved grandmother.
As far as I’m concerned, GH didn’t dumped Anna Lee. Jill Farren Phelphs did.
Yes, Heather, you are right. It would have been more accurate to say Jill Farren Phelps sacked Anna Lee. And I like that you brought it up because now it seems so fitting that JFP has been fired. RIP Anna.
