Michael Gross' River Runs Deep

This time, as River Baldwin, he's a rebellious hippie who left Gloria and their young son Michael for a life on the run, after being accused of a bombing and murder. Gross shares his thoughts on his character and his first foray into daytime. MORE

Digest caught up with this young, intelligent actress and got a first-hand glimpse of just how wise beyond her years Marano is. MORE
