Jo moves back to Melrose Place

More great news! Daphne Zuniga is, according to Entertainment Weekly, joining the crew on the new "Melrose Place". She will once again play the photographer Jo Reynolds, who had an on-screen relationship with Jake (Grant Show).

Some of you also know Daphne from "One Tree Hill", where she played Brooke Davis' mother Victoria.

Beverly Hills 90210 Vs. Melrose Place

This is a cute scene from the pilot episode of "Melrose Place" where "Beverly Hills 90210" character Kelly (Jennie Garth) crossover to promote the new spinoff series. She had a short relationship with Jake (Grant Show).

Bobby Ewing's back from the dead

This is the famous shower scene from "Dallas", where the popular Bobby Ewing (Patrick Duffy) returns from the dead! It turns out that the last season was just Pamela's dream. You just have to love that!

The dream season is, by the way, one of my favourite "Dallas" seasons. More glamour, more drama, more female storylines, more "Dynasty".

Melrose Place - The explosion

This is one of the best soap moments ever. Kimberly Shaw (Marcia Cross) blows up the "Melrose Place" building in the first episode of season four. This scene guest stars Morgan Brittany, known from "Dallas".

Dynasty catfight #1

This is the first catfight between Alexis (Joan Collins) and Krystle (Linda Evans) on the number one 80's soap "Dynasty". I just can't get enough of these women, especially Joan. She's the queen bitch of soap operas. Enjoy!

Hilary Duff joins Gossip Girl

The twenty-one year old actress/singer Hilary Duff is joining the glamorous cast of The CW's teen soap "Gossip Girl", according to The Hollywood Reporter. Her character is going to be called Olivia Burke and move in with Vanessa (Jessica Szohr).

Are you excited? I sure am! Let's hope they make Georgina (Michelle Trachtenberg) a regular in the new season too.

Greek - Season three coming soon

There will be a third season of teen comedy drama "Greek"! ABC has renewed the show and season three will start airing on August 31 in the US. Here in Sweden we're still in the beginning of season two.

While waiting for season three, don't forget to order "Chapter One" and "Chapter Two" on DVD, out now!

Paper Dolls

This is the opening to the 1984 soap opera "Paper Dolls", starring Morgan Fairchild, Mimi Rogers and Nicollette Sheridan. The show only lasted one season but it was a huge success in Germany and Sweden.

Let's hope it will be released on DVD someday! Morgan Fairchild is a soap goddess.

Joan Collins in Marple

The great soap diva from "Dynasty", Joan Collins, recently guest starred on the British murder mystery series "Marple". The episode was called "They Do It With Mirrors" and Joan looked glamorous as always! She played the part of Ruth van Rydock, Miss Jane Marple's (Julia McKenzie) old friend.
