Soap News: Chloe’s in a coma and it’s serious on DAYS; Claudia’s accident on GH and Antonio Sabato Jr.’s reality show

— Look for Chloe (Nadia Bjorlin) to fall into a coma later this week on Days Of Our Lives. What’s brought on this coma you ask? Well, Chloe’s evil mother-in-law poisoned her with a laced brownie because of her affair with Doctor Daniel. Chloe collapsed and was taken t the hospital where she flatlined and had to be revived. Watch for Kate to frame her one-time love, Daniel for Chloe’s poisoning by planting the drug used in his apartment. Okay so it’s been what? A year into this storyline and Lucas has no idea that Chloe’s been cheating on him? Ah well, the silver lining in this mess of a story is that the show’s lured back Kevin Spirtas as Chloe’s dad, Craig Wesley, for three episodes.

While Carly’s the one with the high-risk pregnancy, it will be Claudia who loses her baby. Expect Sonny to actually be nice to Claudia when they face the news. And who caused the accident? Jason and Sam start to expect Sonny’s little terrors Michael and Kristina.

— VH1 will premiere its new celebrity dating show, My Antonio on August 16th starring Antonio Sabato Jr where the former soap star and Calvin Klein model searches for the “the love of his life” in Hawaii. Antonio’s mother will be on hand to help him sort through his 13 candidate and in a dramatic soap twist, Antonio’s ex-wife will pop up to try her hand at winning him back! Antonio was married to fellow model/actress Alicia Tully Jensen for about a year (1992-1993).

Antonio started out in soaps in 1992 when he signed on as Jagger Cates on General Hospital. Jagger was embroiled in the Brenda/Jagger/Karen triangle which made GH the “it” teen soap scene of its decade. After his stint ended on GH, Antonio took on recurring and guest starring roles on shows like Melrose Place, Lois & Clark and Charmed. Antonio’s second soap stint was in 2005 for a year-long role on The Bold and the Beautiful as Dante Damiano who flirted with Taylor and romanced Bridget and Felicia; Dante was revealed to be the biological father of Felicia’s son, not Nick. Antonio’s last television appearance came last summer when he reprised his role as Jagger Cates on SOAPnet’s General Hospital: Night Shift.

No word yet on a Canadian broadcaster for My Antonio. You know what would have been an even better twist? If they had more of Antonio’s former flames like Vanessa Marcil and Virginia Madsen (with whom he has a son, Jack).
