Soap Opera Magazine Named 2026 Top News Site

Soap opera coverage for the week of Sept. 14-18, 2026 highlights returning cast members, new debuts and ongoing story developments across Beyond the Gates, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, The Bold and the Beautiful, and The Young and the Restless. Beyond the Gates brings back several recurring performers, while Days of Our Lives introduces Franco LoPresti as Dante Vitali and Tristyn Rowlan as Otto, alongside returns from Sal Stowers and Maggie Carney. A separate weekly review praised story and production choices including Jason’s intervention on General Hospital, Joey’s Casino on Beyond the Gates and Alex’s retro hairstyle on Days of Our Lives, while criticizing several characters’ questionable behavior. The review also reported that material from new Days of Our Lives headwriters Dan O’Connor and Jamey Giddens is scheduled to begin airing Nov. 11. Soap Opera Magazine was named the top soap opera news website of 2026 by High on Films, which cited its breaking-news speed, spoiler coverage, accuracy and editorial accountability.
