Former "All My Children" super spy, Aiden Turner, was arrested on allegations of domestic violence. TMZ is reporting Turner and his girlfriend got into an argument at their apartment in Hollywood.

According to the police report, the TV remote hit Turner's girlfriend in the eye, giving her a shiner. It appears he will not be charged with a felony. Is "General Hospital's" Mac running the police force? Maybe "GH's" Diane is his lawyer ...

Jerry Douglas does not just play John Abbott's ghost and Jack's conscience on "Young and Restless," he is also a great storyteller. He has lots of stories to tell and he has a great voice. He and impressionist Rich Little will be performing at Saban Theater in Beverly Hills on Nov 30th.

Many other "Y&R" stars are taking to the skies so they can meet and greet their fans. On Dec. 7th Daniel Goddard (Cane Y&R) David Irizarry (David Cho "Y&R") as well as others turn on "Guiding Light," "All My Children" and "Santa Barbara." Irizarry is a brilliant piano player. The duo will be joined by Bryton James (Devon). You can catch them at Hyatt West, Raleigh North Carolina. On Dec. 8th, four very unlikely "Y&R" characters are banding together. Christian Le Blanc (Michael) and Marco Draper (Carmine) will make nice on stage, even though Carmine almost destroyed Michael's marriage to Lauren. Also at the event will be frenemies Kate Linder (Esther) and Jess Walton (Jill). The event, which will be Linder's fourth annual tea for charity, is taking place at The Fairmont in Toronto, one of the most elegant hotels in the world.

Thorsten Kaye makes his "Bold and Beautiful" as the Ridge recast on Dec. 13th. He replaces Ronn Moss, who left the show after playing Ridge for 25 years. Moss decided not to renew his contract when he was asked to take a pay cut. Moss felt, after a quarter of a century of devotion to his career, a pay cut was not going to happen. For a year, Ridge has been in Europe after breaking his engagement to Brooke. The character did not even return when his beloved mother, Stephanie, succumbed to cancer. Moss also sited an almost deadly accident in which he and his wife were involved. "It was a life-changing incident. We could have died. It was a life-changing incident. It changed my perspective on life. I knew it was time to see what else was put there for my life."

Kaye has played Zach and poet and Irish rebel Patrick Thornhart on "All My Children." During his tenure on the show, he met Susan Haskell (Marty). They have been together since and have two daughters. He also played Angelica Houston's boy toy on the prime time show "Smash." As for taking on the role, Kaye says he wonders if the viewers will accept him. Ronn is chiseled and beautiful. It's his look, he says. Kaye's look is sexy.
