Soap stars from Days of Our Lives, General Hospital, The Young and the Restless and more will host Investigation Discovery's Soap Block, when the series returns on August 25 with "Sinful Secrets Week."

Beginning Monday, August 25 from 1 to 4 pm daily, daytimers past and present will provide insight into encores of ID's most scandalous series, like Wives with Knives, My Dirty Little Secret, Scorned: Love Kills and Evil Twins.

Among the soap actors featured will be Days of Our Lives' Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) and Wally Kurth (Justin), General Hospital's Lynn Herring (Lucy) and Kin Shriner (Scott), The Young and the Restless' Lamon Archey (ex-Mason), All My Children's Darnell Williams (ex-Jesse) and telenovela actress Katie Barberi.

The daytime stunt airs in conjunction with ID's primetime return of a new season of Deadly Affairs with Susan Lucci (ex-Erica, All My Children), featuring all-new stories of deadly dalliances on Saturday, August 16 at 10 pm.

"Soap fans are a voracious audience, hungry for emotionally riveting content and devoted to the characters they've grown to love - or, hate," said Henry Schleiff, Group President of Investigation Discovery, Destination America, American Heroes Channel and Discovery Fit & Health. "As the #5 network for women in daytime, soap opera fans know that they can always find their 'stories' on Investigation Discovery - the real life tales of passion - and, on occasion, perhaps, a little poison."

Each week will have its own theme and star hosts to introduce the true-life programming. The schedule is as follows:

· Sinful Secrets August 25-29: Hosted by Lynn Herring and Kin Shriner

· Lessons in Lust September 2-5: Hosted by Katie Barberi (Cecilia, Dona Barbara; Ursula, Every Witch Way)

· Poisonous Love September 8-12: Hosted by Mary Beth Evans and Wally Kurth

· Evil Enemies September 15-19: Hosted by Lamon Archey and Darnell Williams
