This Valentine's Day there is more heartache than love in the air as citizens of River's Edge
get struck by Cupid's arrow and not in a good way! "For sure it's not the day that most people
want to have," teases head writer Josh Hawkins.

For starters, Megan issues her newfound rival Sharon a stern warning. "I love the fact that
Megan is slowly emerging as one of the strongest women on the canvas. There's something
about her and the future for her character that I love," the scribe states.

Those aren't the only two dueling divas - ex-boyfriends Ryan and Josh find their way back to
one another on Valentine's Day so to speak. The former couple have some unresolved issues
that they need to work out and Hawkins shares that we are beginning to see the early stages
of their love story. "I wasn't able to tell Ryan and Josh's story after the series left the Internet, all
that's changing now," Hawkins states. However rumors are circling that this couple is not
where this storyline will end.
