Quiz Show

In our 9/12 issue, we quizzed ATWT's Kelley Menighan Hensley (Emily) about Oakdale history. Her score? An impressive 4.5 (we were feeling generous) out of 8. That's when her husband Jon Hensley (Holden) came along and got a little cocky about his trivia skills, so we put him to the test, as well. Here's how it went down. MORE

Park & Hensley on Work and Play

AS THE WORLD TURNS' Michael Park (Jack) and Jon Hensley (Holden) sat down in Park's dressing room for a lively interview about anything and everything, but Soap Opera Weekly couldn't fit all the bantering into the magazine. Still, we couldn't resist sharing the rest. MORE

Luke, They Are Your Fathers

The 6/20 issue of Soap Opera Digest is dedicated to Father's Day, and what better way to celebrate than an interview with ATWT's dueling pops, Jon Hensley (Holden) and Paolo Seganti (Damian)? .... Here's a snippet of what Hensley and Seganti had to say. MORE

Snyder House Rules

It's Thanksgiving time at the Snyder house, and this year an array of pies and casseroles were laid out in Emma's kitchen (everyone's favorite set), many of them missing some pieces. "We were nibbling on the cranberries and the pecan pie yesterday," admits Marie Wilson (Meg) on the taping day. MORE

Emily's Little Black Book

We hate to call her easy, but Emily Stewart isn't known as Oakdale's town tramp for nothing. Her bedmates have included a Stenbeck family free-for-all... Here's the hot sheet on Em's many lov-ahs. MORE

Meg To Differ?

Keeping all the Snyders straight can be tricky, especially since many have been out of town for years — the last time Meg visited the farm was in 1992...Since she's coming home again on June 16 ... here's a little brush-up on all things Meg. MORE

ATWT Timeline: Katie Did....

Her current problems notwithstanding, AS THE WORLD TURNS's Katie (Terri Colombino) has a pretty good head on her shoulders, even if she usually follows her heart. MORE

Coming Around Again

Digest's 1/8 issue featured actors who left their shows, then returned to reclaim their old roles — and once again, AS THE WORLD TURNS had more examples than we had space (we chose Scott Bryce, who recently reprised Craig, for the print version). Here are two other actors who replaced their Oakdale replacements. MORE

Bye-Bye Byrne

Martha Byrne's last day as Lily was on Friday, March 14. After taping scenes with Jon Hensley (Holden), Michael Park (Jack) and Maura West (Carly), Ellen Dolan (Margo) brought in bagpipers to serenade the show's signature star, who gave a speech about leaving a show she joined when she was 15.

They Grow Up So Fast!

Life In The Fast Lane, the special section in the 11/20 issue of Digest, features characters on all the soaps who were born on-screen — and in most cases, aged to ridiculous extents. We focused on two from AS THE WORLD TURNS — Katie (born 1989) and Luke (born 1995) — but frankly, all nine pages could have been about the children of Oakdale. MORE

50/50

Digest turned 30 last year, but AS THE WORLD TURNS has us beat — as most fans know by now, they turned 50 on April 2. To celebrate, we're giving you the 50 (what a coincidence, right?) covers that have featured ATWT as the main image (not counting insets). MORE
