12 Soapsters Who Are Steaming Up The Summer

The mischievous minx would be the first to tell you that her heart belongs to husband Jack. And maybe it does. But that apparently doesn't mean that she isn't more than willing to lend out the rest of her body to his younger brother, Billy.

Rather than divorce his hot mess of a wife and break up their family, the libidinous publishing magnate is simply sneaking off to his secret man cave to rendezvous with his sister-in-law/true love — perennial passion's plaything Brooke. 'Cause that'll go well.

As if it wasn't bad enough that the legal eagle has been arrested for the murder of Mob flunky Carlos, the actual culprit is none other than her beloved husband, "reformed" Mafioso Julian. At least if she defends herself in court, she'll have a good attorney.

Nurse Webber may have felt ostracized by Port Charles after she kept amnesiac Jason's identity a secret in hopes of marrying him. But if her next romance is with former psycho Franco — as he'd clearly like it to be! — she'll learn the true meaning of the word "pariah."
