Dear Readers,
If you’re still in the Christmas rush, I hope all of your presents are wrapped and you don’t have too much last-minute scurrying to do to get ready. Or, if you’re not, that you have some time off so you can sit back and relax and enjoy all of the features we have for you in this issue. Beginning on page 54, we have 8 holiday letters from the stars to you, where they recap their highs and lows of the last year. On page 64, Y&R’S Melissa Ordway (Abby) and B&B’S Jennifer Gareis (Donna) share some family recipes that are perfect for any gathering. We remember memorable Santa costumes that characters wore on page 62. And on page 44, we give you a sneak peek of what your faves will be wearing to Christmas dinner and to ring in the new year.
Do you remember who got married, who had babies, who was arrested, etc. on your shows? Not to worry if you don’t: On page 66, we recap everything that happened on-screen over the past 12 months. Then, on page 74, we look at the casting changes and real-life milestones that made headlines in 2018. Finally, Heather Tom (Katie, B&B) has not only found success in front of the camera, but she’s now embarking on a new career behind it as a director. Read about her journey on page 36.
Happy Holidays!
