Red Hot Spoilers, Rumors, News & More! Updated 12/21/11!

Hey Gang,

I cannot begin to thank all of you for your incredible love and support over the past few months. As most of you know, I am battling cancer for a second time (first bout hit me in my late twenties). The past few months have been a mixture of tears, uncertainty, frustration, fear, and pain. When I awakened from the extensive mastectomy I underwent in mid October, I felt like I had been hit by a truck. I honestly hadn't expected that much pain. When the pathology report came back, I was told that they found Epitheloid Angiosarcoma in both breasts, and Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma in my right breast (nobody saw this coming). The Angiosarcoma was bad enough, but we had no idea about the Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma (I was stunned). My Oncologist told me that they held four conferences over my case because they had never seen a case like mine. I guess when I do something, I do it big. Two types of cancer (one extremely rare and aggressive)

I was told to enjoy what I have left, but that there was not a whole lot that could be done with triple negative tumors, as they do not respond to hormonal treatment (and radiation from my twenties is what caused the Angiosarcioma to begin with). My Oncologist said that it wasn't a matter of "if" with me, but "when.� I went home devastated, angry, tired, and genuinely scared. It was then that I could feel my mother's presence. I knew that she wanted me to fight, and to write my own ending without the help of any doctors. I once joked to Silas Kain during a broadcast that I simply needed better writers! I am going to be my own writer, and write my own ending. I'm doing this because I want to survive. I am doing this because you have given me the strength to endure this. Your many letters, posts on my Facebook wall, posts here at Voy, e-mails, and telephone calls have cushioned the fall for me. I am a fighter, and I don't intend to lay down and die. I wanted you to know that you have been a large part of the healing process for me.

Last Thursday (December 15, 2011), I was given a gift, and one that I will never forget. I want to personally thank Hillary B. Smith, Michael E. Knight, Cat Hickland, Andrea Evans, and Ilene Kristen for calling into the "The Ravenbeauty Extravaganza Christmas show" to surprise me. Although my voice was pretty much gone throughout the broadcast (due to a cold I've been battling), it was an incredibly magical evening! There are no words adequate to even begin to express my gratitude and love to you guys for what you did. You lifted my spirits, and gave the fans a treat they won't soon forget. You will never know just how much that meant to me. It was my own Christmas miracle. Five soap icons that I have admired and loved for years. What a lovely gift. You put a smile on the faces of soap fans everywhere. I love you Cat! You are the best friend a girl could ever hope for. You are a beautiful angel inside and out (I will never forget what you did for me on Thursday). Thank you to Silas Kain who has come to mean a great deal to me these days. Thank you to Nelson Branco for lifting my spirits, making me laugh, and working his own magic to make Thursday�s show so special for me. Hugs going out to Silas Kain, Flo DiBona, and the core 4 for all their tireless hard work in trying to keep this genre alive. A special thank you going out to Dee Tav for the beautiful song that she wrote for me titled "Raven's Song.� It left me in tears (beautifully written and beautifully sung). May you all have a truly magical Christmas and a blessed and Happy New Year to come! In case anyone missed out on this magical broadcast, simply click on the link below ("Raven's Song" is included in the broadcast)!

The Ravenbeauty Holiday Extravaganza Show!

Speaking of radio shows, a very special guest called into Silas Kain's show this past Monday night! Surprised us all! She comes in around the 107/108 mark on this! What a treat (Lol)!

Gossip Column Disclaimer That Will Appear In Each Column!

This disclaimer will appear each week. Please keep in mind that these are rumors, and any gossip or rumors found within, are completely unsubstantiated. I know this goes without saying for most of you, but there are many new readers out there as well. So far, my sources have been pretty darn good over the years, and I am truly grateful. It would be pointless to have a gossip column without gossip, so you will find both fact and unsubstantiated rumors within these walls. Also, please note that actors are contractually bound by gag orders. They are not allowed to reveal whether they are leaving or not, until the network gives them the green light to do so. Insisting that actors speak to rumors that involve their relationship with their respective shows, places them in a very awkward position. Please keep all of this in mind as you read my column (which will come out every other week). In addition, I can be wrong, and freely admit this. When my sources give me what they have, it's what they are hearing backstage at that moment in time. They are the first to admit that stories can be scrapped or rewritten, with casting decisions changing frequently. I respect their limitations, and so should you. Most of what I hear are very early rumblings, but I will keep nothing from you either way.

Now for the latest, (and it only gets crazier and crazier my friends), expect a rather large announcement so brace yourselves! As for Prospect Park, how odd that they would allow all of their newly bought sets to be destroyed by ABC when they had reportedly just spent millions on them only months prior (and the sets were destroyed by ABC/Disney, and not by Prospect Park) The sets were also conveniently destroyed immediately after the shows wrapped. Does anyone out there still believe that money exchanged hands for these destroyed sets (let alone millions that Prospect Park clearly doesn't have)? Fascinating timing don't you think? As soon as each show wrapped, then and only then did Prospect Park conveniently swoop in and declare that they were not going to be able to make things work? They allowed the actors at OLTL to believe that things were moving forward, and so the actors relaxed and stopped looking for gainful employment elsewhere believing that they didn't need to (Disney has no shame). They stopped worrying and exhaled only to have their hopes shattered at the last moment.

Now I am hearing that Prospect Park may be getting rather territorial over a real deal that people are trying to make happen behind the scenes. Although much information cannot be released as of yet, it would seem that Agnes Nixon needs all of our love and support right now. These are her creations.....her beloved shows! Do the right thing Prospect Park! More will be revealed when it's safe to do so. Suffice to say that these games are growing old for everybody involved. ABC is not above feeding the new regime a very old dish. Don't drink the Kool-Aid again. Don't let them do this to you again! They are lying to you again! A year can fly by rather quickly (and sadly, it will).

Ravenbeauty's GH Dish

I told you two months back that you would get one announcement after the other for GH once the mass exodus begins (and this is only the beginning my friends). Do not blame the new regime for the mouse runs the house. That giant standoff between Sonny and Jason, which was planned in the original serial killer storyboards, may or may not be going forward at this time. Ignore the red herrings for they will lead you astray. If this story goes forward, it will rock all of Port Charles (think back to one man's tortured childhood). Think back to an accident that left another strangely compromised with black outs which they are unaware of. Was Franco right? Only time will tell.......

I stand by my scoop, which caused quite a stir back in July when I said "Welcome Home Laura" for Genie will indeed be back to wrap things up (they are pulling out all the stops and feel the Bells will loan her to ABC). My scoop on Bree Williamson heading to General Hospital from Friday, December 2nd looks good to go. Unless something has changed (and admittedly I have had other things on my plate here lately and haven't been updated on this one) expect the announcement soon. Keen readers took note of my clues regarding Michael Easton when I put out the scoop on Bree Williamson. As I said, expect some very familiar faces at GH sooner than later.......

Wave goodbye to Steve and Olivia...........

One major favorite is on his way back (announcement should be forthcoming over the next couple of months). A fan favorite returns without his leading lady. Wonderful old time favorites return bringing GH back to it's core once again......

Speaking of Bree, her new look is gorgeous! Unreal!

Ravenbeauty's OLTL Scoops!

How sad that we haven't much to dish anymore as we draw nearer and nearer to the end. Look for two major reunions to bring things full circle. A surprise return and a bittersweet moment from the past will leave not a dry eye in the house. A shocking secret is revealed, and someone comes home again......

One family gets the shock of their lives, and one major leading man crosses the street to yet another network once again........................

That's it for now guys. I'm outta here. I hope everyone out there has a very Merry Christmas and a truly joyous and wonderful New Year to come! Happy Holidays! I love you guys! XOXO!

Hi Raven,
As I indicated to you a while back, there are so many more people pulling for you than you know. So kind of the girls and Micheal to phone in with love and support but that's who they are. Outstanding people. I am so happy to see the fighting spirit in your posts. Never giving up is the key to life in everthing we do. God Bless and Happy Holidays. Your fan,
Paul Satterfield
