SOAP SCOOP Daytime TV news



NO HAPPY ENDINGS FOR "DALLAS" DUO: "Bold and Beautiful" has wrapped up Linda Gray's departure sooner than expected, with her character, Priscilla, having left town earlier this month. Priscilla is not scheduled to return, which means that the anticipated visit of Larry Hagman (Gray's former "Dallas" co-star) for a guest shot on "B & amp;B" also won't happen.
END OF THE LINE: "Passions" will most likely not recast the roles of Charity and Miguel after the actors playing them make their final appearances on the series next month. Instead, they are expected to enjoy a romantic conclusion to their love story. If it's fireworks you want on "Passions," catch "The Apprentice" wannabe and sore loser, Omarosa, left, when she guest-stars as herself on the show Thursday.
RECAST: The role of Simone has been re-cast on "Passions," with Cathy Jeneen Doe named as the youngest daughter of the Russell family. The actress starred in a recurring role on the Disney series, "Go Fish," and is currently producing an independent film called "The Root of All Evil." Doe is set to debut on July 23. With Tabitha desperate to keep Miguel and Charity apart, she's conjured up Evil Faith and Spectral Faith, again played by Dana Sparks for five episodes on "Passions" starting Friday.
IN OTHER AREAS: Interested in finding out what's in store at "Young and Restless"? Co-executive producer and co-head writer Jack Smith guests on "Soap Talk" June 3, on SoapNet. And on Wednesday, "Y & amp;R's" Michelle Stafford (Phyllis) will be a presenter at the Academy of Country Music Awards.
