The Emmys and Disney + offered plenty of surprises and announcements to be excited about. One of the most exciting was the official trailer for WandaVision.
With the Pandemic delaying numerous Disney projects especially coming from Marvel Studios, it was very refreshing to see Elizabeth Olsen and Paul Bettany together again as Wanda Maximoff and Vision.
For now, Disney+ says that the streaming series is coming soon, but we say it can't come soon enough!
Sloane revealed that Steve Burton has wrapped up his time on General Hospital. Sources from the show shared that Burton finished filming on set back in October.
The actor refused to follow the show's vaccination mandate and since Burton is still not vaccinated, Jason's time in GH is coming to a close.
Emma Samms, who has also been missing from the GH set, said that she is hoping to make her return to the show very soon. Samms shared with Soap Opera Digest that she is "still very much in the depths of long COVID," but is anticipating her reappearance as Holly in the future.
AJ McLean is also making his first appearance on Days of our Lives and will be in scenes with both Ava and Gwen.
Wrapping up Sloane's casting update, Jess Walton will be returning back to the Y&R set as Jill.
