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.

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.

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.
