Best Returns: ABC-axed sudsers ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE returned — via Hulu and iTunes — courtesy of production company Prospect Park. That sound you just heard? The soap fan in your life cheering.
Most Controversial List: As always, this year’s Daytime Emmy nominations left many scratching their heads over everything from the fact that THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Scott Clifton was in the supporting category despite the show revolving around his character for the past year to GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Lindsay Morgan getting a nod over such supposed shoe-ins as Kelly Sullivan, Finola Hughes, Kelly Monaco and Rebecca Herbst.
Why You’re Seeing Double: BBC America renewed its epically awesome clone saga ORPHAN BLACK (which airs its first finale on Saturday, June 1).
Most Prudish Outlet: Salt Lake City’s KSL-TV, owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, has dumped HANNIBAL due to the show’s “extensive graphic nature.” Instead, they’re running the evening news in the timeslot. Because nothing scary or bad every happens on the evening news…

Most Suspicious Feud: Anyone else find it interesting that as AMERICAN IDOL sinks to new lows ratings wise, judges Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj do the same via Twitter?

Most Heavenly Casting: 90210’s Justin Deeley will join season 5 of DROP DEAD DIVA as the gorgeous angel who’ll take over shepherding Jane’s life. Where do we sign up for a guardian like that?
Scariest Date: The often hammy John Oliver will begin his summer run as DAILY SHOW Jon Stewart’s replacement on Monday, June 10. Why, oh why, couldn’t they let Samantha Bee fill the void?

Most Welcome Political News: HBO’s VEEP was renewed for a third 10-episode season.
