\nThe Daytime Emmys return to a big three network as CBS announces they will air daytime\u2019s biggest night on June 27. The DC gang discusses what this means for the industry and who would Jamey like to see host the show.

\nLes Moonves wants a piece of The View\u2019s action and is developing a talk show starring his wife Julie Chen and actress Sarah Gilbert. Other rumored co-hosts include former Days of our Lives star and Soap Talk host Lisa Rinna and one of The Real Housewives of New York City. What does this mean for CBS\u2019s remaining soaps and can it actually take on The View?

\nThe Young and the Restless loses almost a half million viewers. How are the multiple doppelgangers, Adam\u2019s presumed death and the other crazy storylines playing out on our screens impacting the No. 1 soap\u2019s ratings?

\nMichelle Stafford tells TV Guide Canada she did a \u201cspit take\u201d in the now infamous scene between her Victoria Rowell.

\nBilly Warlock heads to As the World Turns, but are all these new characters just too much? Why aren\u2019t we seeing more past characters and not so many newbies? Luke Snyder isn\u2019t sure how to respond after Dr. Reid kisses him.

\nThe Logan family blames Stephanie for Beth\u2019s death on The Bold and the Beautiful, but shouldn\u2019t the focus of this story be on Brooke and not Donna?

\nDays of our Lives\u2019 Chloe and Philip hook up after they are led to believe their significant others are cheating on them. What is happening to Hope Brady? Is she reverting back to Princess Gina?

\n\nAll this and much more on today\u2019s show!
