Deciding that work is the best thing for her broken heart, Hunter Tylo (Taylor on "Bold and Beautiful") returned to the job three weeks after her son Michael Tylo Jr. died following a seizure that caused him to drown in the poll at his brother's home in Las Vegas.

Tylo says she "thinks of her son every day and will always have a hole in my heart." Tylo is filing a wrongful-death claim against her son's therapist. She is accusing Nevada-based social worker Shanna Downing of misdiagnosing Michael Jr.'s seizure disorder as "stress-related" and for implanting "false memories."

It has been a rough year for Jaclyn Zelman (Bobbie on "General Hospital"). In June, her nearly 20-year marriage to Glenn Gordon ended in divorce. This week, she was went from regular cast member to recurring status after a 33-year stint as harlot-turned-heart-of-gold-heroine Bobbie Spencer.

In truth, recurring might mean more on-air scenes than the actress has had in months. Whenever Bobbie is mentioned, it is by daughter Carly, who explains Bobbie is watching the kids. Poor Bobbie doesn't even get to stand at the nurse's station.

ABC has employed Zelman for 40 years. The actress started as hooker Lana on "One Life to Live." Her character died when she decided to attempt suicide in order to gain love and sympathy for the man of her dreams. Sadly, the man of her dreams was asleep, and by the time he found Lana, she was dead.

"Only the Good Die Young" could be "General Hospital's" theme song. First, Emily is killed at the hands of the text murderer -- sweet, kind, radiant Emily. Georgie is the next victim -- bright, kind, forgive-anybody-anything Georgie.

Rumors have it a thought-to-be good guy might be involved in all the nefarious deeds.
