He's back! Ambitions' Creator Jamey Giddens returns to Daytime Confidential to talk with Luke Kerr about his new show on OWN. Jamey shares his journey, from initially developing a story bible for Will Packer for a syndicated daytime soap opera to the primetime soap that Ambitions became. He talks about casting Robin Givens, Brian White, Kendrick Cross, Essence Atkins, Brely Evans and Erica Page. He shares what it was like to get notes for the first time and how he dealt with budgets, writing around actor's projects and being on-set. Jamey shares what it's like to work with film and TV visionary Will Packer. Find out Packer's nickname for Jamey and how Jamey loved his hands-on collaboration on the development of Ambitions. Was it surreal for Jamey to go from covering Oprah on Daytime Confidential to developing a show for OWN and receiving a bottle of champagne from the former Queen of Daytime at Ambitions' premiere? Giddens is honest about how soul crushing it was to watch so many daytime soap operas get canceled and how he embraced the Law of Attraction to combat his bitterness. When he finally let go of his dream of writing for daytime, opportunities presented themselves. Jamey teases the soap opera Easter Eggs he's hidden throughout Ambitions' 18-episodes. He shares how his character Karen Carlivati is named after his writing mentor former General Hospital and Port Charles Head Writer Karen Harris and Days of Our Lives' Head Writer Ron Carlivati. He also teases how a one Lucinda Kerr "has been giving Stephanie the business as long as Stephanie can take without clapping back." What soap couple SHIPS does he hope viewers gravitate to? The ratings for Ambitions' premiere were good, but Jamey isn't above asking Daytime Confidential's loyal listeners to watch Ambitions live. Jamey and Luke then talk about the final season of Game of Thrones, Danny's dark turn and whether-or-not Cersei received a death worthy of her villiany. Luke then asks about which daytime soaps Jamey has tuned in for since Ambitions production wrapped and Jamey shares his thoughts on General Hospital, Days of Our Lives and The Young and the Restless.

DC #878: #GenieIsGH
On this special Daytime Confidential episode Luke Kerr, Jamey Giddens, Mike Jubinville and Jillian Bowe dive into the news that General Hospital executive producer Frank Valentini has bumped soap opera legend Genie Francis to recurring. The DC gang explores the importance of Genie Francis and her character Laura Spencer having an active role on the show and in Port Charles. In the era of Time's Up and pay disparity revelations why are General Hospital's actresses paid so much less than their male counterparts? They look at a timeline of Valentini's decisions and the negative impact his "Friends of Frank" casting style has had both onscreen and off. Why has Valentini become caught up in casting wars with other shows or hired his actor's boyfriends in roles fans do not care about when General Hospital has a rich history of characters that could be portrayed by these same actor? Under Valentini's stewardship General Hospital has gone from having a long track record as one of the best soaps at casting new generations of actors–like Genie Francis, Kin Shriner, Anthony Geary, Steve Burton, Maurice Benard, Vanessa Marcil, Sarah Brown, Tyler Christopher, Amber Tamblyn, Jonathan Jackson, Scott Clifton and Drew Garrett–to arguably the worst at casting fresh faces. Should Valentini be fired if the debacle with Genie Francis' contract is not rectified? All this and much more on this special Daytime Confidential episode!

DC #660: DC EXCLUSIVE: Ron Carlivati on Wrapping One Life to Live and Checking Into General Hospital
He gave up a career as a lawyer to pursue his true passion for writing soap operas. Now, some 15 years after first joining One Life to Live as a writer's assistant, the soap's last head writer Ron Carlivati joins Daytime Confidential's Luke Kerr, Jamey Giddens, Jillian Bowe, Regan Cellura and Melodie Aikels to dish having completed the daunting task of wrapping the iconic sudser up on ABC Daytime.
Hear from Carlivati himself on his thoughts about how the 43-year-old sudser came to a close. Would he have done things differently had he known OLTL wouldn't be moving online immediately following the ABC finale? Carlivati shares how it felt to be able to bring back such popular veterans as Jessica Tuck (Megan), Roscoe Born (Mitch), Fiona Hutchison (Gabrielle), Susan Batten (Luna), Ty Treadway (Troy), and more during the soap's Between Heaven and Hell arc during its final week.
He also clears up all those rumors surrounding the exits of Robin Strasser (Dorian) and Trevor St. John (Victor), the latter of whom made a surprise appearance in the series finale. Tune in to hear how Carlivati planned to bring Dorian Lord back in a story that would have had President Barack Obama watching his back!
Is Carlivati satisfied with the way things ended for such Llanview lovers as Clint and Viki (Jerry VerDorn and Erika Slezak), John and Natalie (Michael Easton and Melissa Archer), Todd and Blair (Roger Howarth and Kassie DePaiva), Rex and Gigi (John-Paul Lavoisier and Farah Fath)? He also shares what it meant to be able to finally reunite Cord and Tina (John Loprieno and Andrea Evans). Then the conversation shifts to Carlivati's next gig. He and his boss Frank Valentini are now serving as head writer and executive producer respectively of ABC's last daytime soap opera General Hospital. With Howarth, DePaiva, Easton and Kristen Alderson (Starr) all following Frank and Ron to Port Charles, should fans be worried about those rumors that GH and OLTL are merging? Hear Carlivati set things straight as only he can, revealing he's been a fan of General Hospital even longer than he was of OLTL. And of General Hospital, with the almost 50-year-old, one-time supersoap fighting for its life against Katie Couric, The Chew and The Revolution, does Carlivati feel added pressure to help keep GH on the air? This is one podcast no fan of One Life to Live or General Hospital can afford to miss, that is if you want to hear the real truth from the writer's mouth!

We know Ted King and Michael Easton are hopping from OLTL to GH, but Jamey reveals that more OLTL stars could be on the way.
One Life to Live’s prison break had the DC crew glued to their TVs. From Lindsay and Troy to Mitch and Alison Perkins, they dive into it all. Cole reunited with Star. Mitch held Natalie captive. Alison reveals a secret to Viki and Clint. Lindsay helped save Nora. It was must see TV.
The Young and the Restless signs Darnell Williams and plans to reunite him with Debbi Morgan in Genoa City. Why is Y&R so intent on bringing on stars from low rated soaps, instead of focusing on its own characters? Was it appropriate for Harmony to refer to Phyllis as “Miss Phyllis?”

Who is responsible or shares in the blame? They recap the progression of reports since Jamey first reported, back in February, ABC would be making a major decision in April. Did All My Children throw its actors under the bus? Susan Lucci has been a class act through it all, while Robin Strasser’s poignant hotline message to fans pulled at the heart strings.

Melodie’s ending for AMC is all about Erica Kane while you’re not going to want to miss Jamey’s tongue-in-cheek suggestion for Viki and Dorian on OLTL.

The Bold and the Beautiful’s Ridge isn’t happy with the Taboo Women’s Line. Jamey is enjoying the Amber, Liam, Hope and Oliver storyline. Steffy and Bill’s dynamic has Luke tuning in. Is B&B too slow, too fast or does it have the right pacing?

DC #613: Double Standards
On today’s Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Jillian, Regan and Melodie discuss the latest in All My Children, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless storylines and news, including:
It was a busy week of All My Children news. At the beginning of the week Deadline reported that All My Children could be in danger of cancellation, but by the end of the week actors were telling fans the rumors are not true. When a primetime series is in danger of being cancelled all the major entertainment bibles report the news, often inspiring fans to get motivated to try and help save their show. Why is there a double standard for discussing reports that a soap may be cancelled? We all know the genre is struggling, but can’t such reports help motivate soap fans to try and save their soap?

Will Days of Our Lives do a gay storyline? If they do, should DAYS pursue a Chad and Will pairing or should they explore another couple? Luke can’t believe he’s beginning to enjoy EJ and Taylor like Jamey and Jillian do. What does everyone think of Dario?
The person responsible for baby Jake’s death has been revealed. Would there have been more long term storyline potential if it had been Carly instead of Luke who was responsible? Jillian and Melodie debate whether Robin or Lisa would take each other out in a fight. Find out whose Luke and Regan come down on. Tyler Christopher is leaving General Hospital as Nikolas Cassadine. Elizabeth Taylor, the original Helena Cassadine, passes away.

Luke loves David and Dorian together again, but wants it to last. Nora gets most of her memory back as Rex closes in on the identity of daddy Ford’s killer.
The Young and the Restless’ Victor Newman takes Newman Enterprises public. How will this impact the lives of Genoa City’s leading citizens? Emily O’Brien is out as Jana. Jillian is enjoying the heat between Adam and Phyllis, but Luke refuses to give up his love Adam and Sharon.

Oprah’s must watch Legendary Soap Opera Spectacular. What did the DC gang think of Oprah’s guests Anthony Geary, Genie Francis, Susan Lucci, Michael E. Knight, Debbi Morgan, Darnell Williams and Jeanne Cooper? Based on Genie Francis comments, did any of the DC gang ever expect to see her back on General Hospital? One of the loudest cheers from the Oprah audience came when Oprah mentioned Michael Nader as Dimitri Marick among Erica’s ex-husbands. Wouldn’t it be great if Dimitri returned to Pine Valley?
Last week Luke and Regan weren’t happy with All My Children, but Jamey has been enjoying it. Hear what he thinks about the current state of Pine Valley.
The Bold and the Beautiful celebrates its 6000th episode with a special episode about lung cancer. While the story is poignant and relevant should B&B be careful of becoming to preachy? Jillian weighs in on Thomas and Dayzee.
Jamey has been holding in a Days of our Lives rant for a while, but enough is enough. Jamey goes off on the abysmal state of NBC’s last soap. From Jennifer’s organ harvesting storyline to fake Rafe, nothing escapes his ire. Why isn’t DAYS trying to get things in shape now, instead of worrying about it later when an axe is swinging over its head?
Who is sabotaging Brenda and Sonny’s wedding on General Hospital? Regan comments on the fallout from the revelation of Michael’s prison rape. Lucky gets shot in the head, which inspires Mel to start calling him UnLucky.
The Buchanan sister’s wedding was ruined by the revelations of Clint’s manipulations, but not all the DC gang enjoyed it.

Why is All My Children destroying Annie in the process of writing the character out? Why couldn’t they come up with a good exit for her? Kendall Hart’s continued heart problems put new meaning in her last name. AMC’s Cameron Mathison and Rebecca will guest on ABC’s Castle, but will the show cast current One Life to Live stars in guest roles?
The Young and the Restless’ Olivia popped up on The Bold and the Beautiful for Justin and Donna’s wedding. Jillian and Luke enjoyed the wink wink scenes between Bill Spencer and Olivia. Donna isn’t the only B&B bride. Pam will be walking down the aisle soon to marry Donna’s father.

The Buchanan twin’s wedding kicked off, but it sure seemed a lot about Clint. Not that we minded. What will happen when John, Jessica and Brody find out the secrets Natalie have been keeping? Melodie loves Mad Marty, but is the character being written into a corner. What are the DC gang's first impressions of Ted King as Tomas? Is it smart for One Life to Live to be using Roger Howarth’s picture so much or will it cause fans to get upset?
Sean Young is returning to The Young and the Restless as Meggie. Cane is shot on the steps of a church. Melodie, our film school grad, breaks down which movies Y&R ripped off for their dramatic scenes. Did Lily end up pushing her babies down the stairs?

As the World Turns fan favorite John Dixon returns to Oakdale just in time to help Chris Hughes. It looks as if Luke isn’t going to have to make a choice between Reid and Noah after Reid gets hit by a train. Henry and Barbara finally say “I Do.”

Clint destroys David and Dorian’s wedding on One Life to Live.

OLTL needs to play up its Blair/Todd/Tea triangle and figure out a way to give Viki and Dorian more scenes together. Everybody and their detective close in on Elijah. Should OLTL sign Lindsay Hartley on as Kimberly?

Alicia Minshew returns to All My Children this week as Kendall, but why do they insist on using Kendall to pimp a couple AMC fans loathe like Ryan and Greenlee? Amidst a terrible storyline Debbi Morgan has been delivering standout performances. Belinda weighs in on the new dynamic at Chandler mansion. Is it even worth it to keep Scott Chandler in the mix?
The Young and the Restless signs As the World Turns star Maura West to play the role of Diane Jenkins. Molly calls off her wedding to Holden. Lucinda’s master-plan of revenge against Craig is falling into place.
The Bold and the Beautiful’s Hope is beginning to spin out of control as she grapples with what her mother and boyfriend did. Taylor, Stephanie and Steffy rip into Brooke. What will Steffy do now that Taylor has given her share of Forrester?
Days of our Lives ratings continue to sag, but what can they do to get back on track? Is their front burner Nighttime Hope storyline to blame or do they need to pick up the pace? Luke believes there is a lack of intensity to DAYS storylines and that they don’t give fans a reason to be invested. After lasting way to long, but the Nighttime Hope storyline is beginning to wind down.
General Hospital’s Brenda returns to Port Charles this week. Will her return be everything the network hopes or could her return kick off with a bang and then fizzle? Belinda doesn’t think Brenda is the end all be all. Claire started out as such a good character, but now she’s fallen for Sonny’s charms. Could Claire end up sidelined like Kate Howard or Hannah?
Todd and Tea’s wedding was great on One Life to Live, but was the picture of Roger Howarth foreshadowing something? If it wasn’t, should it be? Jamey believes that Howarth’s return is one of the few things OLTL could do to get a sustained ratings boost. The Elijah mess just keeps getting worse and worse. Why can’t Blaire catch a break when it comes to men? OLTL says goodbye to Evangeline.

DC #565: Ilene Kristen Interview
On today's episode of Daytime Confidential, Luke and Jamey welcome back one of DC's favorite soap scene stealers, Ilene Kristen. The DC boys get to the bottom of why we haven't seen much of Kristen's hilariously-heartfelt character, Roxy Balsom of late on One Life to Live,
Were Roxy and Ilene casualties of ABC's decision to "Kish off" her screen partner Brett Claywell and later Roxy's newfound son Schuyler (Scott Clifton)? Roxy's other son, Rex (John-Paul Lavoisier) was recently searching for his biological father and her daughter Natalie (Melissa Archer) is currently dealing with a "Who's The Daddy?" pregnancy predicament, yet Roxy has strangely been missing from those stories. Kristen says she's as confused by that as we are. Luke and Jamey also get the skinny on Kristen being cast in the most anticipated web sudser since Venice, Gregori J. Martin's The Bay, and find out what else the amazingly-talented singer-actress has been up to.

DC #564: The Franco Fiasco
On today’s Daytime Confidential episode Luke, Jamey, Regan and Jillian dish about the latest All My Children, As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, One Life to Live and The Young and the Restless storylines and news, including:
Should Robin Christopher return to All My Children now that her time on General Hospital is wrapping up? JR, Annie and Adam are all battling for control of Chandler and Skye’s return might just up the intensity. Ryan suffers from an aneurysm and we’re led to believe once again that Greenlee is the love of Ryan’s life. Luke’s convinced that AMC is trying to make him hate Greenlee.
As the World Turns revealed their plans for the upcoming tribute to Helen Wagner. Lucinda is pleased when Sierra returns to Oakdale.
Scott Clifton made his debut on The Bold and the Beautiful. Steffy gets what’s coming to her after all her manipulations of Brooke and Oliver. Luke was surprised to discover how much he enjoyed Ridge accepting Brooke’s mistake for what it was and wanting to move past it. Jamey cannot believe B&B is wasting a major talent like Sarah Brown. She shouldn’t be on the back burner. She should be front and center.
Days of our Lives gives Lindsay Hartley the pink slip just when things were getting good. EJ and Arianna had great chemistry and showed potential. Jamey would like to see her end up on One Life to Live as Kim and have that character mix things up with Clint again. Night time hope tries to burn down the house around Bo. Will Ty Treadway coming to Salem entice Regan to tune in?
The Franco Fiasco is really screwing up General Hospital and is laughable. Bring on the Cassadine storyline that was sidelined for the first Franco stint and give us something that isn’t a joke. Unlike the Franco debacle the shootout at the hospital was gripping. The DC gang weighs in on the Drew Garrett rumors that surfaced online about him possibly going to The Young and the Restless.
One Life to Live casts Billy Warlock in the role of Ross Rayburn. Are both Jessica and Natalie’s babies Brody’s? Much like the Franco Fiasco on General Hospital the Bennett Thompson mess on OLTL just doesn’t make sense. Why did they have to turn a character with so much potential into a mustache twirler? Isn’t there a better way to give Robin Strasser and Erika Slezak a storyline?
Welcome to a very Brady The Young and the Restless as the No. 1 rated soap casts Susan Olsen in a drive-by role. Jillian weighs in on the debut of Malcolm’s fiancé Sofia and shares her first impression. Cricket knows Ronan’s secret, but will they keep it from Nina or will they tell her the truth?

Check out their exclusive podcast interview with Justin Gaston and Kara Killmer, two of the stars of one of the hottest shows on Hulu, If I Can Dream, from American Idol creator Simon Fuller.
If I Can Dream is an interactive, 24-hour-a-day, docusoap following the lives of a group of aspiring singers, models and actors, all living together in a SoCal "Dream House". Did we mention the Dream House is equipped with 60 AXIS cameras, which follow the casts every move? This fact caused the Dream House to turn into a nightmare for one of the show's leads. On May 8, former NFL cheerleader and Playboy bunny, Amanda Phillips left the Dream House after declaring she could no longer deal with the show infringing on her personal life. We get reactions from Justin and Kara about how it felt to see their friend move out. The pair also dishes about what it's like to now be living with former American Idol contestant Alex Lambert, who recently moved into the house, adding a much needed bad boy to the mix!
We also hear Justin react to gossip blogger Perez Hilton (who recently visited the house) saying he believes the public perceives the Pineville, Louisiana native and celeb blog staple as being merely the ex-boyfriend of MileyCyrus, who likes to take his clothes off and isn't very "bright". You'll wanna tune in to hear the former Nashville Star contestant address those claims and reveal how he's working to change people's misconceptions of him by focusing everything he has on his singing career.
Gaston and Killmer also weigh in on how a pair of good, Christian kids from the South (Killmer is from Crowley, Texas, just a hop, skip and a jump from Jamey's hometown) manage to stay grounded in L.A., a town where sex, seduction and commercialism rule the day. After you listen to the podcast, head on over to Hulu to watch this week's 30-minute installment of If I Can Dream, with special guest star Perez Hilton. To watch the talented, sexy inhabitants of the Dream House day or night, visit If I Can Dream's official website.

2nd Annual Streamy Awards are being held this Sunday, April 11 in Los
Angeles, and some of our faves like The Bannen Way,Venice's

marketing officer for Kodak, which is serving for the second year in a
row as the Official Imaging Sponsor of the Streamys.
The personable, cowboy corporate exec talks with the DC boys about
why it's been so important for Kodak to be on the forefront of
entertainment consumptions transition from analog to digital. He also
reveals that once again he will be tweeting live from the Streamys
telecast, as he did during the Oscars, and recalls how cool it was to
learn that even the likes of Mr. Bean was following his tweets.
Hayzlett dishes about some of TV and the web's biggest stars like How
I Met Your Mother's Neil Patrick Harris and One
Life to Live grad-turned Castle star Nathan
Fillion, whose Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog proved a

Zi8 pocket camera and the Kodak Playsport, both of which are serving as
the Official Digital Cameras for this year's Streamys. You'll definitely
want to listen in as he shares how cameras like these are being used by
budding, young creatives to make their own web soaps, comedies and talk
shows. Can Hayzlett convince someone as technologically challenged as
Jamey (who still uses an old-fashioned tape recorder on the red carpet)
that the Zi8 is even easy enough for him to use? You'll have to listen
to find out.

DC #527: OLTL's Kish-tastrophy
On today's special episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan weigh in on One Life to Live's shocking dismissal of Brett Claywell and Scott Evans and the end of the soap's popular, groundbreaking Kish love story.
From the quote about Kish not resonating "with the mainstream audience" that has outraged so many fans, to the multiple storylines that have contributed to OLTL's low ratings, DC digs into all the latest in this continuing saga.
The DG gang explores why OLTL seems to be cleaning house of its minority stars and young talent which has afforded the ratings-challenged sudser such critical acclaim. We pose the question, what has ahppened to the diversity Agnes Nixon created this show to reflect?
We also ponder, should Brett and Scott return if ABC offers? Do TPTB really think they are giving the majority of the fans what they want, while destroying the show in the process?Jamey wonders, will the move to oust Kish be Frank Valentini's Maureen Bauer moment? What, if anything, can OLTL do to turn things around in Llanview?
No other topic since Daytime Confidential.com's inception, from Guiding Light's cancellation to Victoria Rowell's shocking tell-all interview, has received such a vocal response from Daytime Confidential readers and listeners. More podcast fans have called in to our hotline about OLTL's Kish-trastropy than about the firings of Drake Hogestyn, Deidre Hall, Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols at Days of our Lives.

Is Annie return to crazy land a good twist or a desperate move? Should the role of Scott be recast so that AMC can play up the Camelot angle?
Regan has a major problem with One Life to Live's Ford and how he's turned Langston into a panty dropper. Is he smarmy or is he a classic soap character?

Jonathon Jackson delivered an amazing performance on General Hospital. Did he just lay claim to the Emmy? With Jackson back Tyler Christopher needs to step up his game.

Jamey has the perfect idea for a One Life to Live/General Hospital crossover.

In honor of the Daytime Confidential podcast's 500th episode (okay,this is actually 497 but who's counting?), Luke and Jamey chat with One Live to Live head writer extraordinaire, Ron Carlivati. In his first podcast interview, the George Washington University graduate, who left a career in law to pursue his dreams of writing for his favorite soap opera, shares with Luke and Jamey how his then-employer, former attorney David Baldacci selling his first novel, Absolute Power, inspired Carlivati to move to New York and follow his true passion.
Carlivati talks in depth about what it was like to go from being Dorian (Robin Strasser) and Viki's (Erika Slezak) biggest fan, to creating their storylines day in and day out. He shares what it meant to him to see the first confrontation he ever penned for the legendary duo air on television.Carlivati also reveals why it was so important for him to restore Llanview's rich history and how he managed to return the soap opera to the diverse landscape creator Agnes Nixon first envisioned over four decades ago.
The talented scribe also explains in great deal why he felt the payoff of having Todd Manning (Trevor St. John) romance his amnesiac, one-time rape victim Marty Saybrooke (Susan Haskell) made the controversial story worth it in the end. He also shared how it made him feel to see Haskell win her second Emmy earlier this year for the storyline's climax, and explains why he feels two smart, flawed women like Tea Delgado (Florencia Lozano) and Blair Cramer (Kassie DePaiva) are drawn to Todd.
Carlivati also talks about his love for great sitcoms growing up and how that influences his storytelling. He also provides Daytime Confidential listeners a sneak peek of what's next for his soap's top couples like Bo and Nora, Rex and Gigi and of course Kish. Will daytime's most realistically-drawn gay couple get a real love scene? You'll have to listen to this episode to find out. It's an interview you don't wanna miss!

Watching what is happening to ATWT is déjà vu of what happened to Guiding Light last year. Could ATWT avoid cancellation if they stepped it up?
Guiding Light filmed its last episode ever this past week. Jamey believes no soap in its end game has ever created a couple with as much buzz as Otalia. The show has nothing to lose, why not give fans what they want? It really takes some doing to piss off Daytime Confidential’s J. Bernard, but Guiding Light figured out a way to do it. We didn’t know it was possible.
The rivalry between Forrester Creations and Jackie M. heated up as both fashion houses competed for bragging rights. Would Jillian buy anything from either collection? Should The Bold and the Beautiful hire a fashion consultant? Does B&B have a hit on its hands with Brad and Katie?

Does Torchin believe AMC's move is a good thing for the industry, or will it hasten the death of soaps?
It's no surprise to anyone who has been reading her GL coverage that Torchin spends a good bit of time on this episode discussing her current, fave soap couple Olivia and Natalia (She's not a fan of squish names!) on GL. Why does this couple have Torchin both fascinated and utterly frustrated? Torchin is hoping Venice, the new web series co-created by the woman she calls "the best actress in daytime", Crystal Chappell, and costarring the likes of Jessica Leccia, Hillary B. Smith and Jordan Clarke, will show daytime soaps how it should be done! Torchin also fills Luke and Jamey in on what she's been up to since the last time she visited DC, namely her breathtaking photography work featuring her two beloved islands—Manhattan and Martha's Vineyard—all chronicled at www.mimitorchinphotography.com.
Torchin weighs in on what soaps like The Young and the Restless and One Life to Live are doing right and what they are doing wrong, and shares a Cruz and Eden memory that is sure to bring back memories of fans of Soap Opera Weekly's groundbreaking early days and the iconic super soap Santa Barbara.

Is Brad Bell getting his groove back? The Bold and the Beautiful’s ratings are up. What might be the reason? Jamey has a suggestion.

Now that Jamey's initial report about All My Children moving to Los Angeles has been confirmed by ABC , Jamey reveals the latest tidbits about what he ' s hearing from his sources. What does AM ' Cs move to L.A. really mean? Is it a vote of confidence in a three-soap lineup, as ABC claims? Is ABC’s investment in HD an investment in OLTL and AMC or just a capital investment in the studios where they are filmed? Susan Lucci is All My Children. When people think of soap operas they think Susan Lucci. Will ABC face a PR crisis if she decides not to make the move? It is unlikely that many older AMC veterans will make the move, but what happens if Thorsten Kaye, Alicia Minshew and Cameron Mathison choose to stay in New York ? The group speculates on whether or not Brian Frons would let them join OLTL?
With AMC moving to L.A., One Life to Live is getting a bigger, improved studio, but how close to cancellation did OLTL really come? Does the new studio give OLTL and Frank & Co. a fighting chance? The DC gang discusses Kish’s kiss, OLTL’s tribute to Grey Gardens and the double wedding of Clint and Nora and Viki and Charlie. Is Crystal Hunt finally stepping up as Stacy and making Jamey a fan? Is Kelly Monaco leaving General Hospital? Soap Opera Digest is reporting that the show has sent out a casting call for the character of Sam McCall, but Nancy Lee Grahn and Steve Burton rebuffed the report on Twitter.

Spinelli asks Mac for Maxie’s hand in marriage. Dante is an undercover cop investigating Sonny and the mob. Knowing that he is Sonny’s son, is this a brilliant twist?

DC #436: ABC Moves All My Children
On today’s ABC episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jamey and J Bernard discuss the latest in All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital news and storylines, including:
All My Children picking up roots and moving to LA. In this episode, recorded before ABC confirmed Jamey’s report on Tuesday, Jamey predicts that the announcement would happen this week and discusses in depth what he is hearing from his sources. He discusses the impact this shakeup will have on AMC’s veteran actors, where this leaves One Life to Live as ABC’s only New York soap and why General Hospital gets a pass because of it being the “Luke and Laura soap.” Is ABC’s solution only a band-aid until they can develop a talk show?
J Bernard shares his theory about the Who Killed Adam storyline and why he believes everything isn’t as it seems.
General Hospital re-signed popular actors Steve Burton and Leslie Charleson, keeping them on canvas. Is Drew Garrett the next Tom Pelphrey or Steve Burton and could he surpass them? GH needs to cast Michael a love interest ASAP and do whatever it takes to avoid a pairing him with his sister Kristina. Luke sees chemistry between Lulu and Dante, but J Bernard doesn’t. What does it say about GH that it takes two of Luke’s sons to beat up the son of Sonny Corinthos? Is Alexis covering up Kristina’s involvement in Claudia’s car crash out of character or is it right in line with the Alexis we know and love? Martha Byrne is a great actress, but Jamey believes needs to be on As the World Turns and not a one note Port Charles villain.
One Life to Live was gearing up for the double wedding as Matthew blackmails Bo and Nora. Matthew seems to be channeling his grandfather Asa. Should OLTL turn Matthew into this generation’s Asa? The Tea, Todd and Blaire triangle has Luke and Jamey on opposing sides. Luke wants Tea with Todd while Jamey wants him with his Blair. If Crystal Hunt could act and didn’t appear bored with the role, Stacy Morasco could be a “hellified” role. Jamey believes OLTL should set up a Who Killed Stacy Morasco murder mystery since there are already more than enough possible suspects. It could be a blockbuster story.

Would Kristina really put up with abuse by a boyfriend when her father is a powerful mobster and her mother is a legal eagle or could this be a way for her to get their attention?

DC #373: Castle Preview With Seamus Dever
Seamus Dever knows a thing or two about playing bad guys. After all, it was his
character Dr. Ian Devlin who accidentally shot young Michael Corinthos on
General Hospital. On ABC primetime's Castle, premiering tonight at 10/9C, Dever
finally gets a chance to play one the good guys. He plays Irish cop Kevin Ryan,
sharing screentime with Stana Katic, Jon Huerta and fellow ABC daytime grad
Nathan Fillion (ex-Joey, One Life to Live), who portrays the title character,
Richard Castle, a best-selling crime novelist suffering from writer's block, who
decides to shadow NYPD detective Kate Beckett (Katic) for inspiration.On
this episode of the Daytime Confidential Podcast, Dever chats with Luke and
Jamey about his role on the highly-anticipated midseason show, his first as a
primetime series regular. Dever shares that although Castle is being likened to
80's comfort food TV programs like Moonlighting or Scarecrow and Mrs. King, he
sees more of a parallel between the series and the popular screwball comedies of
the 30's and 40's, which he says sets Castle apart from other primetime crime
procedurals. He also reveals whether or not he believes there is more pressure
for the show to suceed considering ABC's recent cancellations of such
high-profile shows as Dirty Sexy Money, Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Life on
Mars. Then Dever looks back with Luke and Jamey about his brief, but
memorable stint on General Hospital. He reveals how he felt when he learned the
antihero doctor he signed on to play, was being turned into a mob assassin, and
what role the 2007-08 Writers' Strike played in that plot twist. Dever talks
about what it was like working with Sebastian Roche, Tyler Christopher, Jason
Thompson and Sarah Brown, whom he still considers a pal, and reveals if he and
Nathan Fillion swap soap stories on the set of Castle. Dever also provides a
sneak peek of Ready or Not, his upcoming Direct-to-DVD buddy comedy. It's an
episode you don't wanna miss.

when she announced she was making the transition from soap star to porn star.
McCarty's new Direct-to-DVD adult film Flawless: From Beauty Queen to Porn Queen
is on sale now from Vivid Entertainment. From TMZ, to Perez Hilton, to
Entertaiment Tonight, everyone in Hollywood was talking about McCarty. On
today's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast, McCarty reveals all about
her controversial career move to Luke and Jamey.McCarty talks with DC
about what led to her embarking on such an uncharted career path. She tells how
she pitched the idea for Flawless, and served as a co-writer on the project.
McCarty explains why she strove to make Flawless the type of adult film that
appeals to women, as well as men. She admits to being nervous about how her new
venture will be perceived. Will her Passions fans be receptive to Flawless? Did
the current state of the U.S. economy and lack of roles for actors facing a
streamlined pilot season and a potential SAG Strike play a factor in her
decision to do porn? Most importantly, what would Passions' Edna (Kathleen
Noone) have to say?The soap vet shares her brief encounters with late
Passions creator James E. Reilly, and weighs in on the poignance of Passions
being cancelled shortly before his death. Is McCarty still in touch with any of
her daytime costars like Galen Gering or McKenzie Westmore, both of whom have
returned to soaps, if so, what are their thoughts on Flawless? Is McCarty afraid
her adult film turn will prevent a possible return to daytime in the future? Her
answers might surprise you.The Miss USA 1991 then offers her perspect on
the pageant mom phenomenon, made notorious by the Jon Benet Ramsey Case, as well
as movies like Little Miss Sunshine and the upcoming WE reality show Little Miss
Perfect. Finally, McCarty talks about her stint tonight, hosting ACME this Week,
the popular sketch comedy show, that has boasted Ilene Kristen, Bryan Datillo,
Tichina Arnold (Everybody Hates Chris) and Arianne Zucker as recent hosts. Will
McCarty spoof her soap career? Her pageant career? Her porn career? All of the
above? It's an interview you won't want to miss. Then for those of you in Los
Angeles, head on over to Acme Comedy Theatre, located at 135 N La Brea Avenue,

unimaginable. For 13 weeks, GH's cable spin off told powerful,
multi-generational tales of love, hope and mortality, all primarily set in the
soap's historic hospital. The series was truly a Valentine to long term fans of
GH and beautifully explained to newer fans why iconic veterans like Tristan
Rogers (Robert), Finola Hughes (Anna) and Antonio Sabato Jr. (Jagger) are so
beloved. While making GH: Night Shift a success was a collaborative effort, it
was one novice soap opera writing's vision of telling stories featuring the
characters he grew up loving, as well as introducing an Indian doctor and
telling a gay love story, that set Night Shift apart. That writer was Sri
Rao.On today's episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast Luke and
Jamey have a conversation with Rao, A Wharton Business School graduate who gave
up his high-powered career in Manhattan, to follow his true passion for being a
writer and director. Rao offers a refreshingly unjaded perspective about
everything from the use of veterans in daytime to the politics behind gay
storytelling.Rao shares the process he and his writing team embarked
upon in giving larger-than-life superhero Robert Scorpio an all-too-real
Achilles Heel in the form of cancer. He reveals how supportive ABC
Daytime/SOAPnet head honcho Brian Frons was in allowing him the freedom to tell
his stories and talks about the other projects his Sri Rao and Company are
working on, including a teen drama series inspired by his boyhood love for My So
Called Life called What Goes On and the Bollywood thriller New York. Rao also answers the question fans of
Night Shift are dying to know: Would he ever consider bringing his passion and
prowess over to daytime?

and SOAPnet blogger David Ozanich join Luke and Jamey on today's Daytime
Confidential podcast to dish about their fun Likely Story series of teen books.
Written under the joint pen name David Van Etten, Likely Story and its sequels
All That Glitters and Red Carpet Riot (on sale July 9, 2009) tell the story of
Mallory, just your typical teenage girl living in SoCal–except that her mother
is an over-the-top soap opera diva and she's caught up in a hot love quadrangle
with a teen soap hunk. After an explosive confrontation with the aforementioned
diva (Mal's mom is so fab, her name is never mentioned!), Mallory blogs about
how ridiculous and unbelievable the soap opera her mother stars on can be. Mal
writes about how if she had the chance to write a soap, it would be realistic
and find its drama in real life situations, in other words a likely story.
Imagine Mal's surprise when the network gets wind of the blog post and decides
to cancel their long-running daytime drama and greenlights a new teen soap based
on Mallory's premise! Did we mention the soap the network cancels is the one
Mal's Mommy Dreariest stars on?You'll want to tune in to hear Van Etten,
Levithan and Ozanich talk about how the Likely Story book series came into
being. Learn how OLTL ultimately facilitated Van Etten and Ozanich becoming
writing partners when the soap hired Ozanich an intern. Find out how at a Gotham
party one night, Levithan, author of such teen classics as Boy Meets Boy and
Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (with Rachel Cohn) and editor of the smash
hit The Babysitters' Club novel series for Scholastic, became intrigued by the
idea of helping the pair bring Mallory's story to life.You'll learn what
it's like to write a book series with not one, or two authors, but three. Van
Etten and Ozanich, while swearing none of the characters are based on anyone
they've met in their soapy pursuits (Talk about a likely story!), reveal how
their day jobs did in fact help color Mallory's world. Is Mallory speaking for
every disgruntled soap opera fan with the impassioned rant she posts on her
blog? What about when she actually lands her dream job? As Mallory quickly finds
out writing a daily soap opera, while dealing with temperamental divas, a
reluctant hottie leading man and network interference, isn't as easy as she once
believed, are we getting a glimpse of what it's really like for the harried men
and women who bring us our favorite soaps five-days-a-week? What about Van
Etten, do he and other real life soap scribes ever log on to blogs like DC or
message boards to read what we're saying about their work? If so how does it
effect the writing process?Ozanich, also an acclaimed playwright (The
Lightening Field) shares how he's dealt with some of the sticky situations
Mallory finds herself facing in the Likely Story books, such as having to let
down friends who thought they were a shoe-in for a role in one of his dramatic
works. Onzanich also runs hilarious, SNL-worthy interference for his pal Van
Etten, when Jamey and Luke try to pry a few juicy spoilers about ABC Daytime's
hottest soap out of the Emmy-winning breakdown writer. Levithan, an
admitted novice to the wonderful and wacky world of daytime soap operas, talks
about how he brought to the table the basic tenets of characterization and story
to help make even Mallory's more larger-than-life adventures ring true. The
editor for Scholastic's PUSH imprint shares how the coming of age tale, despite
its soapy flavor, is quite universal. Levithan also tells us how he feels about
the success of the big screen adaptation of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist,
and gives other writers a bit of advice on how to make their books readily
adaptable for film. Speaking of adapting literary works for the screen, could a
Likely Story television series or film project be in the works? Tune in to find
out. Then go to Amazon.com to purchase the Must Read Likely Story and All That
Glitters. You can also pre-order Red Carpet Riot.

On this very special episode of the Daytime
Confidential podcast we discuss the winners of the 2009 Soap Opera Spirit
Awards. Luke and Jamey are on hand to announce the categories, while TV Guide
Canada's Nelson Branco reveals the winners, as well as the science behind why
each was chosen. As if this wasn't reason enough to tune in, for the first time
in DC history, both of the driving forces behind our favorite web series
Imaginary Bitches, Eden Riegel (Bianca, All My Children) and her husband, series
creator Andrew Miller are here together. You don't wanna miss the explosive
confrontation between Emmy-winner Eden and Jamey when it's announced who wins
the SOS for Outstanding Performer in a Podcast/Webisode/Soap-Related Series.
There's nothing imaginary about it, these two get down right bitchy!
"What did she do beside talk to herself?" Jamey asks in a
huff."Thank you Jamey for sucking just enough for me to squeeze
through!" Eden blasts back.Andrew shares how many takes it took for his
pal Greg Rikaart (Kevin, The Young and the Restless) to get the memorable m
asturbation scene for his SOS-nominated IB guest stint down pat. Is Greg a
method actor?Eden is thrilled when two of her leading ladies, Elizabeth
Hendrickson (ex-Frankie/Maggie, AMC; Chloe; Y&R; Liz, IB) and Tamara Braun,
aka Jamey's pick for the best Carly Corinthos EVER!! (Oh yeah, and she now plays
Reese on AMC) are both presented SOS awards, but which one thrills Eden more?
Should Andrew be worried? More important, should BAM fans spearhead a Rianca
Kiss Ban?Later in the episode, Eden speaks poignantly about All My
Children and One Life to Live creator Agnes Nixon when she accepts the Irna
Phillips Spirit Award For Outstanding Contribution To The Serial Art Form on
behalf of the television legend. She also relays fond memories of the late
Eileen Herlie, whose Myrtle Fairgate served as a surrogate grandmother to Binks
and the rest of Pine Valley—except for Luke's beloved Greenlee (Rebecca
Budig).Nelson himself speaks on behalf of the late Beverlee McKinsey
(Iris, Another World/Texas; Alexandra, Guiding Light) whom TVG Canada awarded
one of two Douglas Marland Memorial Awards. The other accolade went to the late
James E. Reilly (legendary head writer of Days of Our Lives and creator of
Passions). Canada's biggest cheerleader (Yeah, yeah, yeah we get it, their syrup
is better than ours and they produced Jennifer Finigan, big whoop! We lay claim
to Britney Spears bitches... real and imagined!) asks Jamey to talk about the
prolific writer's impact on the genre. This episode is a Must-Hear for soap fans
young and old.

Luke makes a surprising admission. Conde Nast is reporting that CBS is dramatically slash the licensing

Robert Scorpio via General Hospital: Night Shift and Daytime Confidential named
him our Male Entertainer of 2008. On today’s show Luke and Regan visit
with Rogers about his amazing year and what it was like to portray Robert
Scorpio, whose battle with cancer forced him and the fans to accept the reality
that he was no longer the indestructible super-agent we’d grown accustomed to
seeing on our screens. Rogers shares how seeing his former penthouse recreated
on Night Shift was spooky and how it brought back so many memories for him and
Finola Hughes. We ask Rogers about what it was like to work with Sri Rao and his
popular writing team at Night Shift and get his thoughts on what role Rao may
yet play in daytime. The wedding of Patrick and Robin would not have
been complete without Robert Scorpio to walk his daughter down the aisle so we
talk to Rogers about how important it was for him to be a part of the momentous
occasion, what his favorite moments from the wedding were and how sentimental
the wedding was for Finola, Kimberly McCullough and himself. Roger’s
online series Tristan Rogers Unscripted gave fans behind-the-scenes glimpse into
Night Shift that fans rarely see in daytime and he shares what it was like to
get everyone to appear on the series. The economic crisis facing the country is
having an impact on daytime and Rogers discusses can and needs to be done to
help save the genre. Rogers gives an update on the auctions at
TristanRogers.com in support of the charity Project Cuddle and tells us how much
money his fans raised for the worthy cause.

became a billion dollar empire that firmly cemented Zane as the Queen of
Erotica. With a slew of raunchy novels and short story collections, complete
with saucy titles like The Heat Seekers, Chocolate Flava and Dear Mr. G-Spot,
this self-publishing sensation-turned-New York Times Best Selling
author/publisher has proven she isn't bashful about giving her rabid fans the
type of unapologetic, sexually-empowering, female-focused fiction they've been
starved for in a sea of formulaic chick lit. Zane's books aren't about women
finding Mr. Big, her heroines are more concerned with achieving the Big O, two
or three in one night if they're lucky, and on their own terms.This year
marks Zane's foray into the world of television. Luke and Jamey caught up with
the mulitasking mogul who has been busy penning scripts for her new Cinemax
prime time soap Zane's Sex Chronicles, based on two of her best-selling books
(Sex Chronicles: Shattering the Myth and Getting' Buck Wild: The Sex Chronicles
2) airing every Friday at midnight. Zane shares with them how the cable network
contacted her when they decided they wanted to bring urban erotica to
television. She also shares exclusive news about her upcoming
telenovela-inspired five-day-a-week soap opera for BET based on her novel
Afterburn, as well as plans already in the works to turn yet another of her
steamy reads, Addicted, into a major motion picture. It's an interview you won't
wanna miss.Check out Zane's Sex Chronicles every Friday at Midnight on
Cinemaz. You can find Zane online at www.eroticanoir.com or her brand new social
networking site www.planetzane.net. You can also be a part of he always topical
discussions the author/entrepreneur has going at her official My Space profile

DC #327: Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn Fired
Mouths around the soap world collectively dropped this weekend as the
unthinkable happened. The recently-renewed Days of Our Lives, fired its biggest
supercouple Deidre Hall (Dr. Marlena Evans) and Drake Hogestyn (John Black). In
this special episode of the DC podcast Luke, Mike and Jamey invite veteran soap
journalist Nelson Branco (TV Guide Canada's The Suds Report) and former Days
writer Tom Casiello to weigh in from the perspective of industry
insiders.Reactions to the shocking news are gauged from the panel,
including: Branco, who reveals Days of Our Lives was the first soap he ever
watched and how he first fell in love with the ravishing Hall even before
discovering Andrea Evans and One Life to Live; and Casiello, who during his last
few months on the soap before the Writers' Strike, was part of a team under
Hogan Sheffer that was forced to script out the soap's "Big Four" (Hall,
Hogestyn, Kristian Alfonso and Peter Reckell) due to their reported astronomical
salaries and ultimately made the decision to kill of the wildly-popular
character of John Black— since they were prohibited from using Hogestyn— only to
see executive producer Ken Corday panic about fan response and order them to
bring the character and actor back.The DC gang also give their
perspective based on their varying histories with the show. Jamey, who has been
watching the show for the better part of three decades, reveals his dismay that
lower level stars like Molly Burnett, Shelly Hennig, Josh Taylor, Thaao
Penghlis, Leanne Hunley and Shawn Christian weren't cut first before the show
even considered touching the Big Four; Mike, who watched in the early 80's and
only recently tuned back in, conveys he still can't believe the show hired Josh
Taylor, who once played Roman and Marlena's pal Chris Kositchek as a recast for
Wayne Northrop's Roman, with Branco adding that move was a "Jump The Shark"
moment for him as well before noting that Taylor is good friends with Corday;
Luke, who has watched Days sine the 90's, speculates the brass could be moving
to strategically weed out most of the show's veteran performers to repackage
Days for an eventual sale to ABC or SOAPnet.The discussion then moves to
what this means for the future of Days of Our Lives and the genre as a whole. If
an international superstar like Hall isn't safe, who could be next? Reckell?
Alfonso? Sweeney? Taking it a step further, will other soaps start to think
their top stars are expendable? Could we see a day when the headline is "Susan
Lucci Out", or "Eric Braeden Axed"? This is an episode of Daytime Confidential
you don't want to miss.

DC #292: Victoria Rowell Interview, So Hot It Couldn't Wait For The 300th Episode
(Editor's Note:
This episode of Daytime Confidential featuring Victoria Rowell
(ex-Drucilla Winters, The Young and the Restless) was set to air as our
special 300th episode, however after completing the interview, we
realized we couldn't sit on it. Download now to find out why!)
From her unforgettable debut in 1990 as Drucilla Barber the street smart niece of Mamie, the Abbott maid, on The Young and the Restless, through today as a world-recognized advocate for foster children and a New York Times
Best Selling author, few actresses in the history of daytime television
have made the kind of impact of Victoria Rowell. Who better then than
Rowell to help Daytime Confidential celebrate our 300th episode?
Rowell speaks to Luke and Jamey from Atlanta, GA, where she is busy doing press for her hugely successful memoir The Women Who Raised Me, as well as writing her juicy first novel–Secrets of a Soap Opera Diva.
Rowell talks about the experience of
being out on the road for the past 17 months "pressing flesh" with the
droves of fans who have adored watching her on the big (Distinguished Gentlemen, Eve's Bayou) and small screen (Y&R, Diagnosis Murder) for the past 25 years.
She talks passionately about her work
with foster children, via the foundation she started almost 20 years
ago, the Rowell Foster Children's Positive Plan (RFCPP). She elaborates
on how her other passion–ballet–helped
her to carve a niche for herself in the world as a 17-year-old girl,
fresh from the foster care system and why the RFCPP strongly utilizes
the arts to teach its students discipline.
Rowell then provides a revealing and sometimes shocking glimpse into her time on The Young and the Restless,
where she rose to fame as the insurmountable Dru. She remembers how it
felt to work with the legendary Bill Bell, whom she shares she was as
"thick as thieves" with. She tells how the daytime pioneer allowed her
to help shape many storylines for the Barber-Winters family over the
years, including Dru's ballet storyline and the
Congressionally-recognized foster care storyline which helped win
Bryton McClure (Devon) the Emmy and how that spirit of collaboration
and trust died with Bell.
She reveals how it feels to have never
won the Emmy herself (she was nominated twice and boasts 11 NAACP Image
Award) and why she feels a "gang mentality" exists among much of the
cast of daytime's number one show in terms of Emmy voting. She tells
how on set popularity is measured above actual talent when it comes to
making the all-important list of pre-nominees.
Rowell goes on to respond to remarks made by former Y&R costar Peter Bergman (Jack Abbott) in an interview with TV Guide Canada's
Nelson Branco. Rowell reveals just why she feels Bergman is absolutely
right, she wasn't "playing with a full deck", but not in terms of her
sanity, in terms of onset equality.
She talks about what it was like working
opposite Michelle Stafford (Phyllis Newman) and why an onset violation
resulted in Sony Pictures Studios (which co-owns the CBS soap with Bell
Dramatic Serial Company) having to get involved to facilitate an
apology.
She answers a Daytime Confidential
reader's question about why Lily (Christel Khalil) doesn't seem to have
her mother's spirit and responds to questions about when and if she
will ever return to Y&R. It's only fitting that this, our 300th
episode, is Daytime Confidential's most revealing, poignant,
jaw-dropping, interview ever.

DC #273: Joseph Mascolo Interview
News that Days of Our Lives supervillain Stefano DiMera wouldn't
be coming out of his coma caused fans of the iconic character and his
portrayer Joseph Mascolo to quickly mobilize. Soon after came the
announcement that the Phoenix would indeed rise again from the ashes
and more pointedly, from the coma Marlena (Deidre Hall) put him.
Recently Luke and I had the chance to speak with Salem's most
famous puppet master Joseph Mascolo, aka Stefano DiMera himself, about
his history-making run on Days. We find out what led to the
decision to put Stefano on ice and why Mascolo firmly believes it was
the fervent outcry of his friends (he doesn't like to use the word
fans) who demanded The Powers That Be thaw Stefano out.
In the revealing interview Mascolo weighs in on how he feels
Stefano should deal with his enemies-namely Marlena, his onetime "Queen
of the Night" and John, his ultimate Pawn. We find out if he's worried
about whether or not Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston) has become the new
kingpin of Salem and if he believes The Phoenix should find love this
time around.
We also compare and contrast the role of Stefano with Mascolo's
memorable turn as Ridge Forrester's biological father Massimo Marone on
The Bold and the Beautiful. You'll never guess Massimo and Stefano's surprising link! This is an interview Days and Bold and Beautiful fans won't soon forget. We hope you enjoy listening to this industry giant as much as we did.
