It’s not surprising that many soap fans feel as if they’ve whiplash. Two soaps have seen writer changes, and it feels as if every day we're getting news that another actor is on their way out. No sooner do GENERAL HOSPITAL fans find out that William deVry’s Julian will be staying than they are hit with the news that Robert Palmer Wakins (Dillon) is on his way out. THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Rome Flynn stunned everyone by announcing on social media that he'd be leaving the role of Zende. THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS viewers are dying to see what executive producer Mal Young will bring to the table when he also takes on headwriting duties. Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms as he talks about all these changes and how they'll impact what you see on your soaps in the coming months. Want to join the conversation? Call in during the live broadcast and share your thoughts!

Despite having run for only five years, Dark Shadows is a legend... even among people who have never before seen a soap opera. It's been immortalized in comic books, continued in novelizations, rebooted for screens big and small, and kept alive by an adoring fan base who can't get enough of the cursed Collins clan and their most notorious relative, a 200-year-old vampire named Barnabas. Tonight, host Richard M. Simms is joined by Danny Horn, author of the Dark Shadows Every Day blog for an insightful hour of spirited conversation about the show that forever changed what soap operas could be... and may serve as a cautionary for some of today’s daytime dramas!

Everywhere you look, daytime is being rocked by change. A headwriter change here, a contract dispute there... and of course, the kiss that had tongues wagging. Tonight, join Soaps In Depth's exeuctive editor and tweetmaster general, Richard M. Simms, as he looks at what these changes mean... and why fans find themselves with more questions than answers. Want to join the conversation? Call in during the live broadcast, or leave questions and comments via Twitter @soapsindepthabc or @soapsindepthcbs!

"Will he stay or will he go?" It's the question every fan of GENERAL HOSPITAL's Julian and Alexis are asking amid rumors that his portrayer, William deVry, has taped his last episode following an extended contract negotiation that ultimately resulted in a stalemate. Tonight, join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he discusses the latest developments, speculates on what's next and takes your calls.

So join us for what promises to be a spirited hour, and call in with questions or comments about your faves!

Supercouples. Fans know them, love them and "ship" them. Hevon. Lane. CarSon. Brill. And they're not a new phenomenon, as anyone who followed the adventures of General Hospital's Luke and Laura, or the love/hate relationship of One Life To Live's Todd and Blair, can tell you. Tonight, we'll look at what makes a supercouple... and why sometimes, the very thing that inspires so much devotion from fans can also be very bad for the overall canvas that they are a part of. Join Soaps In Depth's executive editor, Richard M. Simms, for a spirited discussion... and be sure to call in during the live broadcast to join the conversation!

You can say anything, as long as you say it with love.

It ain't easy keeping a secret in this day and age... but the folks at The Bold & The Beautiful managed to keep Kimberlin Brown's return as Sheila Carter -- one of daytime's most notorious characters -- under wraps. Tonight, join Richard Simms -- executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine -- as he looks at how they kept the secret, what's next for the soap and why their ability to keep everyone in the dark is important to the future of soaps. Plus... every time you turn around, a spoiler site is reporting that The Young & The Restless is about to bring Adam Newman back. But is it true? And with General Hospital co-headwriter Jean Passanante announcing her retirement, might we see big changes rocking the soap, which has seen its ratings slide in recent months? We'll talk all this, offer up some preview for the week ahead and take your calls, tonight on Tune in Tomorrow!

GENERAL HOSPITAL hosted the annual Nurses Ball. THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL saw a major rift develop within the Forrester family. DAYS OF OUR LIVES headed for a deserted island. And THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS saw both the Newman and Abbott clans deal with major shake-ups. But with May now behind us, did the stories trotted out for the all-important Sweeps ratings period deliver? Plus… what should fans expect to see in the weeks to come? Join Richard Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine, as he takes your calls to find out what you, the people who matter most, really thought of May’s sudsy events. And what do you really want to see happen next?

GENERAL HOSPITAL shocked fans this week with scenes of a dreaming Jason attempting to strangle his son. This only a few months after the same show had Julian put a knife to the throat of his wife Alexis. Are shocking twists something fans tune in for, or do they ultimately turn viewers off? Is daytime simply following in the footsteps of primetime... and should it? Plus, we'll take a look around the daytime dial to discuss what's working and what's not for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL and DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Want to join the conversation? Call during the live broadcast to be part of the show!

Depending on who you talk to, GENERAL HOSPITAL axing headwriter Ron Carlivati was either the biggest shock on the planet or completely predictable given the recent ratings.

Simms, the executive editor of Soaps in Depth, to share your take on how to get things back on track!

If there’s one thing soap fans immediately recognize, it’s when history is being rewritten. “Hey, wait,” they’ll declare, “that’s not how it happened!" Occasionally, they’ve been known to look the other way in order to tell a worthwhile story. But more often than not, twisting past events to fit current needs will lead viewers to develop a hate-on for a story that’s hard to shake. Sometimes, beloved characters arise out of a questionable rewriting of history, ala GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Ethan, although in other cases, the old and new facts collide in so spectacular a way as to darn near create a hole in the space/time continuum. Sure, that’s a bit of an overstatement, but not to fans who get frustrated when things suddenly don't compute. Tonight, we'll look at a few recent examples, then take your calls about any and all things soap. So join host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, as he takes your calls for an hour of spirited talk about all your favorite daytime dramas!

April showers bring May flowers... while June first brings a look back at the just-ended, all-important ratings period known as Sweeps. Which storylines did you think were red-hot? Which ones left you cold? We'll take a look at the winners and losers from THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL. Then, we'll have a very special guest who's going to regale us with tales from their recent visit to a beloved soap town. But was it Genoa City, Salem, Port Charles or Los Angeles? Only one way to find out... by joining host Richard M. Simms, the executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, for this sure-to-be-a-blast outing!

Tonight, Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms is going to tell you his theeory about who killed THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Austin and Courtney, and why... if the killer doesn't get to him first! Then, we’ll discuss the other big plots that have been unfolding on daytime... and a certain interview that had everyone talking over the past two weeks! Want to join the conversation? Dial in and share your opinions! PLUS: We’ll reveal the name of the winner of the "Sponsor Richard In The AIDS Walk NYC" gift package!

Careful where you walk, and make sure to look up. Because all around the daytime dial, there are shoes, suspended up in the air, just waiting to drop on the unsuspecting folks below. THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Chelsea seems ready to get together with Gabriel… whom she doesn't know is actually Adam! On THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, practically everyone at Forrester knows Maya’s secret, which means it’s increasingly likely that someone aside from the beauty will be the one to tell Rick! GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Liz is having a hunky-dory time — emphasis on the hunky — with Jake, but we all know that house of cards she’s constructed is going to fall down sooner or later! And DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Marlena has put herself right at the top of Stefano’s list... and it ain’t his Christmas card list, either! Tonight, we'll talk about all this and more as Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth, takes your calls to talk all things soap!

Is it something in the water? On GENERAL HOSPITAL, Liz has decided to keep the truth about Jason under wraps. On THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, Sharon decided to put her freedom on the line in order to attend the re-opening of The Underground. And on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, Maya has put off revealing her secret so long that it seems inevitable someone else will tell Rick before she can. Tonight, we’ll talk about these head-scratching decisions... and much more. Call in to share your thoughts on the latest twists and turns to rock the daytime landscape!

Tyra Banks gave away vacuum cleaners and cruises, two out of the remaining four soaps were declared to be the best and, perhaps most important of all, the Daytime Emmys were finally brought back to broadcast television... and the show wasn’t even a big ol’ ad for Las Vegas! Tonight, join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he takes your calls to dissect all things Daytime Emmys 2015. Call in and join the conversation!

Soap fans are a vocal lot... as proved each week during this podcast! We have opinions, and we have no problem sharing them. But in general, there are two different types of angry fans... and tonight, we'll talk about the difference between them. Which type of upset fan is saying exactly what networks want to hear... and which could be their worst nightmare? Plus, as always, host Richard M. Simms will take your calls to talk all the latest twists and turns around the daytime landscape!

Every soap fan on the planet has uttered the words, “I could write better storylines than this” at one point or another. Even the best of shows go through slumps, whether it be across the entire canvas or one particular story that seems not to connect with the audience. Well, tonight is your chance to offer up a story you’ve long dreamed of seeing unfold on your favorite soap! Maybe you have something in mind for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Sharon? Or an idea about how to snap DAYS OF OUR LIVES out of its recent duldrums. To kick things off, host Richard M Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth, will tell you his vision for GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Ava. Then, he'll open up to the lines to hear your sudsy suggestions! Ready to talk soaps? Then give us a call!

We have a lot to talk about this week, starting with the Daytime Emmy Nominations! Who got one? Who got snubbed? Who will win? Who SHOULD win? Plus, we'll discuss GENERAL HOSPITAL’s 52nd anniversary episode and the long-awaited climax to the Fluke story. All this and more with your host, Soaps In Depth Executive Editor Richard M. Simms. Call in to share your thoughts on this special, action-packed episode!

Did March go and become a Sweeps month when we weren't looking? Because so far, the month has all kinds of big things happening around the daytime dial! On THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, Maya’s big secret finally came out… and it was a doozy! And over on GENERAL HOSPITAL, Jake and Liz got a moment of happiness before his "wife" came along in the form of ALL MY CHILDREN alum Rebecca Budig (ex-Greenlee). We'll be talking about these developments, plus the latest from THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and DAYS OF OUR LIVES, tonight, and taking your calls to find out what you think of all the action!

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Fox has a megahit on its hands with the primetime soap Empire. Over on OWN, Tyler Perry’s The Haves & Have Nots has better ratings than anything else Oprah’s network has aired. These primetime soaps are redefining the word “diversity” while also telling strong, character-driven stories... so why has daytime failed so miserably on this front? Will the success of these shows and others bring about some much-needed change where the soaps are concerned? Why has daytime had more success crafting storylines about same-sex couples than it has any other Tonight, join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he takes your calls on this and all things soapy, including a last look at the recently concluded February sweeps period and a few predictions about what we might expect during May sweeps!

She stole our hearts as DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Belle, and she’s proven to be a criminally funny chat fest host on TradioV’s Soap Box. Now, Martha Madison is preparing for what may be her most challenging role yet in the upcoming Web series Winterthorne. But first, she’s going to sit down with Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms to talk about… well, given these two, the conversational journey could wind up going just about anywhere! Trust us: You won’t want to miss this one!

And just like that, February Sweeps are over. Which means it’s time to look back over the past four weeks and discuss what worked and what didn’t. Were you blown away by THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ disasters… or underwhelmed? What did you think of Steffy’s return (not to mention our favorite new hashtag, #DrunkBrooke) on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL? Did you figure out where DAYS OF OUR LIVES was going with Aiden’s story? And what were your thoughts on GENERAL HOSPITAL’s prison break? Plus, we’ll preview the week’s hot plots and discuss why Pop (formerly the TV Guide Network) is likely to produce a far better Daytime Emmys telecast than the show has seen in years!

Join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he takes a look at the last buzz from around the dial. February sweeps has only just begun, and yet we’ve already seen a major Fluke reveal on GENERAL HOSPITAL, Steffy’s return on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, Neil finally getting the goods on Devon and Hilary on THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, and... well, so far, nothing majorly exciting from DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Which February Sweeps stories are working for you... and which aren't? Call in and share your thoughts on the latest hot-and-not plots from your favorite shows!

February Sweeps has officially begun… and already, jaws are dropping and tongues are wagging! Join Soaps In Depth’s executive editor, Richard M. Simms, as he talks about the stories that have everyone talking and offers up some preview as to what will happen next! Now that the truth about GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Fluke appears to be unfolding, we’ll get your feedback on the big reveal. Plus, has THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Rick gone too far? And how will Brooke’s return impact events at Forrester Creations? And at long last, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS is poised to turn Neil’s life upside down by revealing the truth about Hilary and Devon’s affair. But should their betrayal be rewarded with a happily ever after? And is the return of Kristen exactly the boost that DAYS OF OUR LIVES needs? Given that it’s a short-term stint, what is the long-term fix to the boredom many viewers are feeling of late? All this and more on this episode of Tune In Tomorrow!

Tonight, join Richard Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — as he takes a look around the dial to talk about the best (and worst) of daytime and primetime. Which soap couples are smokin' hot... and which are leaving you cold? Which primetime shows are so good you have to watch them live, commercials and all... and which have been relegated to the "I'll watch when I have time" pile? We'll be taking your calls on any and all things television, tonight!

Long before Kim Kardashian was baring her naughty bits, soaps were causing tongues to wag... and recent events have taken that to a whole new level! THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL caused Twitter to explode with the unexpected news that Kim Matula (Hope) would not only be exting the canvas, but already had taped her final scene. And November Sweeps has seen the social media site light up every day as GENERAL HOSPITAL’s plots have left jaws hitting the floor. Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine, as he talks about November’s twists and turns... and what’s still to come! Plus, we'll kick things off by chatting with Michael Caruso, the man whose DEVANITY was dubbed “DYNASTY with dirty words”, about his exciting new project.

November Sweeps started with a bang on all four soaps, and tonight, we'll look at what to expect in the weeks ahead! Join host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- as we talk about what DAYS OF OUR LIVES got right (and wrong) where Sami's exit was concerned. Then, we'll preview the fallout from GENERAL HOSPITAL's wedding from hell! We'll look at how Phyllis' return has shaken up THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS, and acknowledge that last week's episodes of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL were downright fantastic... despite being practically Liam/Hope/Wyatt free! Got questions or comments? Give us a call and join the conversation!

We've known it was coming for months, and this week, soap fans bid farewell to DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Sami Brady as she heads for... Hollywood? Only weeks after losing her beloved EJ, it looks as if Sami is ready to start a whole new life... and tonight, host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- wants your thoughts on all things Sami. What were your favorite moments? What storyline do you wish never happened? And what do you think of her exit story? Plus, we'll be taking your calls to talk all things soapy!

Last week saw DAYS OF OUR LIVES fans mourning the death of EJ DiMera even as questions remained as to whether or not he might actually be alive, while GENERAL HOSPITAL fans got better acquainted with Jason 3.0. How will these two major plot twists impact Salem and Port Charles, respectively? Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, as he takes your call to discuss these topics and asks what you'd love to see happen during November Sweeps on DAYS, GH, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS. Want to join the conversation? Simply call in during the broadcast! And if you miss any of the fun, you can still catch the show in the archive!

Tonight, join Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard Simms in a spirited debate about all things soap. First, we’ll look at why DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ recently-deceased EJ needs to remain really, most sincerely dead. Then, we’ll look at the return of romance to GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Port Charles… and why when it comes to triangles, the more the merrier. With THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS gearing up for both Adam’s return and headwriter Chuck Pratt’s arrival, we’ll discuss our hopes — and fears — for Genoa City’s future. And we’ll ask why THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, a show that gets so much right, seems to get one thing wrong… a lot. All this and more as we take your calls and discuss what you think is hot — and what you think most definitely is not — on this week’s daytime dramas!

At long last, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Phyllis showed her face in Genoa City! And as Jack pointed out, she always did know how to make an entrance! And over on GENERAL HOSPITAL, Jason emerged from his facial reconstruction surgery looking a whole lot like a bandaged-up Billy Miller! Tonight, we'll talk about these recasts and returns, and get your thoughts on where the characters should go next! Plus, we'll be taking your calls to discuss the latest plots, rumors and, of course, that little writer change that has everyone talking about Genoa City’s future! Got a question? Give us a call!

After several weeks away, Richard Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — returns to talk all things soaps. And boy, do we have a lot to talk about. First up, there’s the shocking news that Chuck Pratt, who is not exactly beloved among soap viewers, will be THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ new headwriter. Then, there’s Billy Miller joining the cast of GENERAL HOSPITAL as Jason. How will this impact the canvas... and could it mean the Liason/Jasam wars will be heating up again? And we're getting ever closer to the final DAYS OF OUR LIVES episodes of EJ and Sami. How will it all end? Plus, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Hope is yet again at a crossroads thanks to the truth about Quinn’s machinations. Should she stay married... or move on? All this and more as we take your calls to get your take on the latest daytime developments!

If they’re not talking about you, you're doing something wrong. And the moment GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Brad, Felix and Lucas started discussing the possibility of a threesome, they became the talk of the town! Tonight, join Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he takes your calls to discuss the trio-turned duo, plus, the twist that left Felix out in the cold... but gave Epiphany a sexy young beau! Meanwhile, we’ll look at how THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS has managed to turn the Hilary/Neil/Devon story into a hit... and ask why there are so many misses on the rest of the canvas. We’ll look at how THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s trip to Paris turned the soap upside down... and talk about what's next. And finally, it looks as if DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Will is about to rock Salem. Has his altered article set in motion the events that will propel EJ and Sami off the canvas? All this and more, tonight!

Over the past few years, many have insisted that the soap genre is dying. And while it's taken more than its share of hard knocks, could there be a renasaince on the horizon? As unlikely as it seems at the moment, there are lessons to be learned all around the daytime dial. GENERAL HOSPITAL has, under executive producer Frank Valentini and headwriter Ron Carlivati, been bringing in a show that is under budget and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats by keeping secrets under wraps. THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL continues to prove wildly popular around the world while raising the bar with exciting location shoots that take viewers not only out of the studio, but to far-flung lands! DAYS OF OUR LIVES has re-invented itself by returning to its roots. Could these lessons be applied to a new soap, perhaps for cable, where supposedly dead genres have managed to thrive? Could there be a better time for a timely, political soap in the vein of the late, great CAPITOL? We’ll discuss the possibilities... and then look to what's working, and what's not, on the current soaps with your host, Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth!

While the folks at GENERAL HOSPITAL aren’t confirming anything, it’s pretty much a given that, as Michael Easton (Silas) said during the Fan Club Weekend, “Jason is coming back.” But how will that impact the town of Port Charles and the folks he left behind? Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth — as he looks at the possible scenarios that might play out once Jason hits the screen. Plus, as always, we'll be taking your calls to discuss anything and everything soapy! Do you think THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Liam overreacted to Liam giving Hope the Electirc Boogaloo Blue Diamond? How much longer can THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Hilary stand by the man she’s married to when she really wants to be with his son? And can DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Kristen really win back Brady? All this and more!

GENERAL HOSPITAL's Patrick and Robin -- aka Scrubs -- are amongst that soap's most popular couples of the past few decades. And, from time to time, they've also been amongst the most controversial thanks to storylines such as the Lisa Niles incident and, more recently, Robin's decision to leave the family she'd only just returned to in order to help longtime friend (and one-time beau) Jason. Now, Robin is set to return to Port Charles... and as one might expect, she's bringing a bit of controversy with her! Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- as he looks at the two possible outcomes of her return. Do Robin and Patrick reunite, despite the fact that they likely would not be together on-screen due to Kimberly McCullough's decision to pursue outside projects? Or does the show use this visit to end Patrick and Robin's marriage, thus freeing him up for future storyline? And is there actually a way that the soap -- and Scrubs fans -- can have their cake and eat it, too? Plus, we'll talk about THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' search for a new Adam (and offer up a few suggestions of our own), look at how DAYS OF OUR LIVES managed to tear Sami and EJ apart without completely ticking off the EJami fan base, and try to figure out what the heck is going on with THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL's Maya, who suddenly seems to be flirting with every man who crosses her path... including Eric! All this and more as we take your calls to discuss all things soapy, beginning at 7 p.m. EST.

This week, we’re talking about controversies, confrontations and cheap (looking) stunts. DAYS OF OUR LIVES gave us the long-awaited, awesome-as-hoped-for scenes in which Sami finally confronted Abby and EJ, and Alison Sweeney did some of the best work of her career as a result. But DAYS also gave us the long-awaited, much-discussed and, ultimately, kinda sad charity event which boiled down to Marlena cracking jokes on TV while Aiden and Hope danced in a storage closet. Over on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, we got our first glimpse of new-girl-in-town Ivy... and saw Quinn go right over the edge! Did Quinn go too far... or is there hope for our favorite mad mama yet? THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS continued to give fan-fave Melody Thomas Scott awesome material as Nikki went up against Ian... but they also gave us the awful Austin/Summer story. And GENERAL HOSPITAL continued to push Sam further away from Silas... and closer to Patrick, leaving us to wonder how Robin's return (not to mention the possibility of Jason coming with her) will impact the canvas. And your host, Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps in Depth -- found himself smack-dab in the middle of a little controversy thanks to the Golden Girls! All that and more tonight on Tune In Tomorrow!

Long after folks have stopped talking about which actors and actresses walked away with Daytime Emmys, this year’s Web-only telecast will be remembered for the red carpet show. Thanks to four "social media gurus" who knew nothing about those being honored, the red carpet devolved into an embarassing, controversial mess. Soaps In Depth’s executive editor, Richard M. Simms, watched in horror... and in this podcast, vents his anger and frustration before opening the lines to take calls on everything from the rape remark heard 'round the world to what viewers thought of the actual ceremony. Plus, we talk about Sami's DAYS OF OUR LIVES vendetta, the reveal that GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Nina is keeping more than a few secrets under her hat and much, much more!

As we head toward this year’s Daytime Emmy ceremony, there’s a growing sense that the entire thing could be a train wreck of epic proportions! Will the folks behind the scenes be able to pull the fat out of the fire... or might it wind up being so-bad-it's-good? Meanwhile, GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Nina appears to be a wolf in sheep’s clothing, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Sami and EJ are headin’ for a wedding, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Ridge appears to not be quite right in the head after — say it with me, kids — falling out of a helicopter, and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Summer appears to be not quite right in the head after having seen Austin in a towel. We’ll talk about all this and more with this special catch-up episode featuring your calls!

After a three week hiatus, Soaps in Depth executive editor is back… and there’s a lot to discuss tonight! He’ll be joined by SoapCentral.com’s Dan J. Kroll in a discussion about what worked (and what didn’t) during May Sweeps, the latest news (including THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s plan to visit Paris!)... and why despite not being aired on television, this might just be the most important Emmys ever!

The 2014 Nurses Ball has come to a close, and it’s time to reflect on which GENERAL HOSPITAL acts you loved, which you liked... and which you could have done without. Plus, as THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL prepares to jet off on a grand, romantic adventure, we'll look at the couples at its heart: Brooke & Bill and Ridge & Katie. Or should that be Brooke & Ridge and Bill & Katie? Who should end up with whom? Also, have a theory on who killed DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Nick? Let’s play detective! And which guy is right for THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Victoria... Billy or Stitch? All this and, as always, whatever callers are in the mood to discuss!

It's time for another Book Club podcast! Time time, we're chatting with Amy Helmes and Kim Askew, the authors of the charming novel, Anyone But You. If you haven't yet read the novel, never fear: Listen to the first five minutes in order to find out how you can win a free copy of the Rome & Juliet-inspired tale of love and betrayal!

As Dorothy said in The Wizard Of Oz, "People come and go so quickly here!" The past week has seen a whole lot of excitement in soap land, and tonight, host Richard M. Simms will take your calls to discuss all of it! From DAYS OF OUR LIVES unexpectedly announcing that James Scott (E.J.) is not only leaving but already done taping, to GENERAL HOSPITAL shocking viewers with the unexpected arrival of Michelle Stafford (ex-Phyllis, THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS) as Nina. Plus, the Daytime Emmy nominations had tongues wagging, as always, thanks to who made the cut... and who didn't! All that and more on this week's episode of Tune In Tomorrow!

There's a lot to talk about tonight, beginning with GENERAL HOSPITAL’s shocking tryst between Ava and Sonny... and the even more shocking fact Morgan instantly figured it out! Then, we'll talk about THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Hope. Are fans who say her story has taken over the show right… or is she simply following in her mother’s shoes by recreating the long-running Brooke/Ridge/Taylor triangle? Then, we’ll turn our attention to THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Victor and Nikki. Can this marriage be saved, or has he gone too far? And can anything convince DAYS OF OUR LIVES to stop making Jennifer and Daniel the center of the show? As always, we’ll be taking your calls for the entire hour!

Tonight on Tune in Tomorrow, host Richard M. Simms will be taking your calls as we look at everything that’s been happening around the daytime dial over the past few weeks. THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Victor finally got busted... but will he pay for his sins? Will things be as bad as DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ EJ imagined when Sami finds out about him and Abigail? Should THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Hope pick Liam or Hope? And who is this man claiming to be GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Luke even as he goes around groping Kiki and threatening the local kids? All this and much more on this edition of Tune In Tomorrow!

Long before GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Faison donned voice-altering masks or DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Stefano started implanting chips in people’s brains, millions of people across the country found themselves enthralled by a slow-speaking vampire, the doctor who not-so-secretly loved him and the wealthy residents of a house perched high atop Widow’s Hill. Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- as he welcomes Danny Horn, author of the informative, hysterical and wildly entertaining DARK SHADOWS EVERY DAY blog for a discussion of daytime’s wildest ride… and how it’s being relived by delighted readers every day!

Folks who don’t actually watch soap operas often make assumptions that simply aren’t true. One of their favorites? “They’re all the same.” But viewers know nothing could be further from the truth. Each soap has a distinctive style... right down to their preferred type of gathering. Last week, we got a great example of this when DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL each hosted parties. The former featured folks getting together for pizza and gossip, the latter involved major reveals and gorgous dresses. Which was a hit with you... and which missed the mark? Meanwhile, primetimes THE GOOD WIFE shocked viewers with the death of a major character. Not a he'll-be-back soap death, but an honest to God death... which wound up being spoiled for some viewers who were in the wrong place (Twitter) and the wrong time (as it happened). When is a spoiler not a spoiler? Is it impossible to remain spoiler-free in this day and age? All this, and your calls... tonight on Tune In Tomorrow!

While THE BACHELOR's Juan Pablo may have disappointed a whole lotta people, Devanity creator Michael Caruso most definitely did not. Now that you've seen the final episode, tune in to find out all the backstage gossip. Why did Lara really die? What was the original ending? And is this really the end of the most twisted serial ever to hit the Web? Join host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine -- as he gets answers to your burning questions regarding Devanity's shocking finale!

So apparently, while Soaps In Depth’s executive editor Richard M. Simms was off sailing the high seas, a whole lot happened back home. GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Sonny shot A.J., THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Victoria gave Billy the boot, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke got a major shock from her favorite ex-husband and DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ John decided it was time to come back to Salem. Looks like someone needs to get caught up on who did what to whom… and tonight, Soap Central's Dan J. Kroll will be on hand to help fill Richard in on everything! Plus, the pair will offer their final thoughts on the just-concluded February sweeps... and speculate wildly about what's coming next! Join them at 7 p.m. EST for a chat that promises to be a great time.

As GENERAL HOSPITAL viewers prepare to say farewell to Kimberly McCullough’s Robin, we take a look at the story that is ushering her off the canvas. Plus, how will DAYS OF OUR LIVES write the upcoming exit of Alison Sweeney’s exit? We’ll take your calls to find out which exit stories you thought worked, which ones bombed and why!

Ah, Valentine's Day. Husbands praying they bought the right size lingerie, wives hoping that their husband actually remembers it's Valentine's Day, singles hating all of their paired-up brethren... and this very special podcast in which topics that should never be broached in public are discussed in the open. Join host Richard M. Simms as he chats with special guest Michael Caruso, the creator/writer/star and, occasionally, degenerate behind the Web's most wicked soap, Devanity. Now, be warned, gentle listeners: Before tuning in, you're going to want to head over to http://www.devanity.com and watch the fourth season premiere. Otherwise, when we start spilling backstage secrets, you'll be a tad lost! So watch the episode, then head back and enjoy as we dish the dirt on what may or may not be the serial's final season... and exactly what to expect as it unfolds!

Hear ye, hear ye, I call to order this first meeting of the Can’t-Please-Everyone club. I move that tonight, we skip the reading of the roll and dive directly into past and present business. Any objections? On tonight's agenda… discussing that section of soap fandom who know exactly what they want for their couple — and only their couple — and won't be satisfied with anything less. Item 1: Folks who were unhappy that THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Lily and Cane — henceforth referred to as "Lane" — had no story and never left their house. Now, said fans are unhappy that the couple’s new careers are not what the had in mind for them and spend all their time at the Athletic Club. Item 2: Viewers who wanted DAYS OF OUR LIVES' EJ and Sami — henceforth referred to as “EJami" — who spent years lobbying for their favorite couple to be together… but aren't happy with his recent dalliance with Abby. Other unhappy factions include those supportive of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke and Bill, and those who are unhappy with the recent revelation that GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Robin/Patrick will be torn apart by her latest exit. The floor will also be open to any and all comments regarding all things soapy.

Sure, host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth — could be asking for trouble, but tonight, he’s practically issuing a challenge: Ask him anything. Got an issue? Bring it up. Heck, haters to the front of the line... nothing's off the table, as long as it's done with respect! Plus, as always, we'll be talking about all your favorite shows... and taking your calls to find out whether you're loving or loathing everything from DAYS' hooking up EJ and Abby to GH's latest back-from-the-dead plot! It's your hour... so make the most of it!

Oh, do we have a treat for you today as your regular host, Richard Simms, interviews guest Charlie Mason about his debut novel, What Became Of Her... and Charlie interviews Richard about his novel, Homesick! Grab a cocktail and get ready for what promises to be either wildly entertaining or a complete disaster! Either way, you won't want to miss this special edition of Tralfie's Book Club!

Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine — as we discuss the big news that’s been coming out of Soapville over the past few weeks. What does Alison Sweeney’s exit mean for the future of DAYS OF OUR LIVES... and EJami? How will GENERAL HOSPITAL deal with Kimberly McCullough’s latest exit as Robin? How will Michael Muhney's Adam exit THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS? And why are things looking better than ever for soap fans? Join the conversation via the chatroom or by calling in to share your thoughts, tonight, beginning at 7 p.m. EST!

This week, join host Richard M. Simms as he talks to author Steven Novak about his latest novel, the apocalyptic thriller Megan. Find out where the idea came from, what inspires Novak's writing and what's next for both him and the title character!

The holiday season brought our podcasting schedule — like everything else — to a screeching halt. Tonight, we’ll be catching up on all the storyline twists and real-life news that had us talking as 2013 came to an end... plus, looking at the stories you're most excited to see unfold in 2014! Join host Richard M. Simms beginning at 7 p.m. EST for an hour of chat you won't want to miss!

Recently, host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine -- joined Dan J. Kroll on the Soapcentral Live podcast to discuss the top 10 news stories of 2013. Now, we'll look at the stories that didn't make the cut. If you were buzzing about it in 2013, we'll be talking about it tonight. Plus, we'll break out our crystal balls and speculate about what will have tongues wagging in 2014!

Their names are known to soap fans everywhere. Luke and Laura. Bo and Hope. Cruz and Eden. Steve and Alice. Josh and Reva. Their loves stories are legendary, their fights epic. They are the supercouples... and they are, in large part, a thing of the past. Tonight, join host Richard Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- in discussing some of daytime's most legendary couples. What does it take to make a supercouple... and why do today's soaps seem to have so few of them? Are supercouples a relic of days gone by, or have they simply morphed into something more appealing to the modern audience? What current young lovers have the potential to be the supercouples of tomorrow... and what would-be supercouples are more fizzle than sizzle?

If April showers bring May flowers, than November sweeps must bring December weddings. On GENERAL HOSPITAL, fans were literally shouting at their screens today as Robin sat at the back of the church listening to her husband exchange vows with another woman. It was a ceremony thrown together at the last minute and stretched out for days. Meanwhile, over on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, Rick and Caroline announced they were tying the knot and had done so an episode later. Both were quintessential soap... although both took vastly different approaches. And of course, fans are still talking about Kristen and Brady’s almost-wedding on DAYS OF OUR LIVES. Tonight, join host Richard Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- as he discusses the good, the bad and the often downright perplexing world of soap opera weddings. Which was your favorite? Which one left you cold? And of course, what was your take on Patrick and Sabrina's ceremony? Sound off starting tonight at 7 p.m., or listen in the archive!

Every soap has one. That couple that has killer chemistry, a whole lot of fans... and a history that makes other viewers say “No way, Jose!” THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Sharon and Adam; GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Carly and Franco; THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke and Bill... and of course, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ EJ and Sami. But DAYS has proven that if written right, even those most opposed to a couple hooking up can be made to see things different. Tonight, host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — looks at how he, a longtime EJami foe, was turned into a fan of the pairing… and examines how other shows could turn their own “problem” couples into fan faves. Got a couple you love to hate... or one that everyone else hates but you love? Share you thoughts tonight, starting at 7 p.m. EST!

The past few weeks have seen a lot of sudsy action as THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Bill climbed up a hill and fell down into a very big mess; GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Robin learned you can go home again… but you might now like what you find; THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Billy and Adam became chat buddies under the weirdest of circumstances; and DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Eric had his entire life turned upside down... in the most entertaining (for us) way possible. So we've got lots to talk about tonight! What's working for you? What's not? And what are you looking forward to as November Sweeps races toward its conclusion? Chat live with your host, Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — and share your thoughts!

Tonight, join host Richard Simms and his special guest, Mary Pat Hyland, as they discuss her novel, The House With The Wraparound porch. We’ll find out the inspiration behind the wonderfully sudsy novel, discuss the intersection of fact and fiction... and maybe even get her to share the recipe for the fried cakes the folks living within the house love to consume! Plus, we'll be looking ahead to the next two selections to be featured in the book club! Got questions for Mary Pat? Give us a call, starting at  7 p.m. this evening!

If there's one thing regular listeners know, it's that when you get host Richard M. Simms — the executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — together with Soap Central Live host Dan J. Kroll, there will be great discussion, spirited debate and the proverbial good time to be had by all. So tonight, join the pair’s confab and ask them your burning questions. Plus, we'll get a preview of Dan’s upcoming 200th podcast, and find out what some of his favorite memories have been along the way! It all starts tonight at 7 p.m. EST, live!

There are big emotions playing out round the soap dial, with GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Robin on her way home and THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Delia on her way to heaven. Thrown in the latest break-up between THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Liam and Hope, the shooting at EJ and Sami’s engagement over on DAYS OF OUR LIVES and the return of primetime's REVENGE to form, and we have a lot to talk about! So tonight, join your host, Soaps In Depth's executive editor, Richard M. Simms, as we talk about what's hot, what's cool and what's on your mind!

She plays the funnest villain to hit Port Charles since Helena Cassadine, and tonight, Kathleen Gati chats with Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard Simms about everyone’s favorite mad scientist, Obrecht. We’ll find out what the actress and her alter ego have in common… and how very, very different they really are! Plus, Kathleen will be taking questions during our live chat! This is one you won’t want to miss, and the fun starts Monday night at 7 p.m. EST.

Sometimes, it's tough being a soap fan. But tonight, we’re going to look at some of the reasons the future is looking incredibly bright for our favorite sudsy dramas. GENERAL HOSPITAL has not one but two huge stories set to explode... and tell you what they are. (Plus, we'll discuss what GH can do to keep the ball rolling... as well as a few areas in which we think they could approve!) THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS has no writers taking over, and we'll ask for your take on how to fix what many feel is pretty badly broken. With Eileen Davidson and Chandler Massey set to depart DAYS OF OUR LIVES in the not-too-distant future, we'll examine why we think the show will manage to survive the huge losses just fine. And finally, we'll take a look at THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s new additions… and muse over how a show can do so many things right and yet fail in one particular area. Join Soaps In Depth's executive editor Richard M. Simms for some fun conversation... and remember, as always, it's all about you, so if you've got something you want to discuss, give us a call and let your voice be heard!

Tonight, our regularly scheduled soap chat is hijacked by the August Book Club meeting... which promises to be quite the event. Why? Because your regular host, Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms, is going to be interviewed by Charlie... who may or may not be a figment of his imagination. The topic? Richard's international bestseller... well, seller anyway, Crimes Against Civility. We'll provide the talk and the fun, but it's BYOB as far as cocktails are concerned! The show will start at a special time, 6 p.m. EST, so set your alarms... you won't want to miss this one!

Is a major power shift taking place behind the scenes at THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS? Are ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO live on hiatus... or is there more to the story? Plus, we'll look at what stories are hits... and which are big, fat misses. And we'll talk about the hottest reality show you're probably not watching, BREAKING POINTE. As always,   Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms takes your calls on these and other topics. Rememer,  where the conversation goes is up to you! Got something you want to contribute or an entirely different topic you'd like to discuss? Call in!

This week, join Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he dives into the deep end to tackle some of your tougher questions. Fans of DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Kate and Rafe want to know the best way to have their voices heard, so we’ll offer up a little advice! We’ll also discuss where Time Warner customers impacted by the CBS blackout can go to keep up with THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS and THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL… and why, under these very specific circumstances, your host is advocating something he normally wouldn’t. Plus, as always, we’ll be taking your calls to find out what you're loving — and what you're not — on all the soaps! It’s time to chum the waters and see who takes the bait, all on this week’s edition of Tune In Tomorrow!

This month’s book club meeting will feature a chat with Amy Helmes and Kim Askew, authors of the novel Exposure. Part of the Twisted Lit series, Exposure features a unique take on the tale of MacBeth by setting the famous play in a high school. Think battling royals are fierce? You haven't met Beth Morgan, who will do anything to make sure she and Craig MacKenzie not only rule the school but are named king and queen... of the prom. We'll get the scoop on how the authors went about modernizing one of the most famous plays of all time, as well as why they choose MacBeth, the highs and lows of two brains creating a singular vision and much more!

Is THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Sharon Newman a lost cause who can’t find her way off the cray-cray train… or is her latest desperate act the thing that might finally put her back on the road to redemption? For many viewers, learning that Sharon altered Summer’s paternity test results was the final straw, with longtime fans of the character declaring her to have been ruined to the point of being unrecognizable. Others -- including Soaps in Depth executive editor and your host, Richard M. Simms -- see the plot twist as an almost logical result of Sharon’s downward spiral. Tonight, we'll discuss one of the most controversial plot twists so far this year!

There’s a new bad girl on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and tonight, we’ll be chatting with her portrayer! Shane and Kimberly’s little girl is all grown up and, thanks to portrayer Jen Lilley, she’s turning Salem upside down! Join host Richard M. Simms, exeuctive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, as he chats with Lilley about not only her new character (and look!), but her attention-getting turn as GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Maxie. Got a question for Jen? Call in and chat with her during our live broadcast! It all starts at 7 p.m. EST, and you won't want to miss it!

Tonight, join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he chats with DAYS OF OUR LIVES star Lauren Koslow! Find out how she and co-star Galen Gering first discovered their alter egos -- Rafe and Kate -- were going to be paired, and what their reaction was! Plus, we'll discuss everything from how she navigates the sometimes tricky world known as Twitter to how changes behind the scenes impact what you see unfold in Salem!

Forget the fireworks exploding in the sky… last week’s real excitement was taking place on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL thanks to the explosive scenes likely to earn Heather Tom (Katie) her sixth Emmy next year. For many viewers, Brooke’s birthday party was the highlight of not only the week but 2013 so far! But not everything around the daytime dial had folks quite so excited. Join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he takes your calls to discuss what’s working — and what’s not — on your favorite soaps! Is GENERAL HOSPITAL’s incest-and-kink story daringly original or irksomely icky? Are too many newbies dragging down THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS or making for unexpected new pairings? And just what the heck is DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Kristen up to? All this and more as we take your calls!

Tonight, join your host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps in Depth magazine, as we discuss last night's Daytime Emmy awards. We'll look at the winners, the losers, the submissions and the much-discussed (and much-dissed) broadcast. This is one conversation you won't want to miss, live, starting at 7 p.m. EST here on Blogtalk Radio.

Tonight, the hour is literally yours! While host Richard M. Simms usually asks the questions, tonight, he’s putting you in the driver’s seat as he takes your calls and answers questions on… well, anything you happen to want to discuss! Shocked by the twist THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL dealt Brooke today? Still deciding whether you love or hate GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Franco? Still reeling from the GAME OF THRONES Red Wedding… and maybe a little disappointed by the season finale? Got questions, comments or just something you want to get off your chest? Tonight’s your opportunity, beginning at 7 p.m. EST!

Tonight, join host Richard Simms — aka Tralfie — as he welcomes author Jordan E. Rosenfeld for a discussion of her novel, Forged In Grace! Come with questions, because Jordan will take your calls as we discuss the nature of Grace’s healing touch, the power of friendship and the destructive force that is Marly! Plus, we’ll preview next month’s Book Club selection!

And with one word, uttered by GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Sam, the heaven’s opened up and the Twitterverse exploded. That one word: Franco. Whether people loved or hated it, one thing is for certain: They weren’t indifferent to the plot twist! Join Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms Monday night at 7 p.m. as he takes your calls to discuss the most talked-about plot twist of the year.

In a move nobody saw coming — but perhaps we all should have — Prospect Park last week announced that ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE would be cut back to two days a week. What does the move mean for the future of the revived shows... and perhaps just as important, what does it not mean? Tonight, Soaps In Depth editor Richard M. Simms will take your calls as we try to sort out fact from fiction. Plus, we’ll find out how fans are reacting to the new roles taken on by GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kristen Alderson, Michael Easton and Roger Howarth. We’ll update the status of THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Hunter Tylo (Taylor), and look at the fallout from Kristen’s plan on DAYS OF OUR LIVES! As always, if you’ve got something you want to discuss, call in starting at 7 p.m. EST!

ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE returning seemed about as likely as your host, Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms, giving up French fries. And yet, miracles happen… at least where the soaps are concerned! Tonight, Richard and his special guest Dan J. Kroll (of SoapCentral.com) share their thoughts on the first week of episodes… and offer a little preview of what's to come! Plus, they'll discuss the Emmy nominations. The snubs, the shockers and their predictions of who'll walk away a winner on the big night! All this and more beginning at 7 p.m. EST.

Fans of classic soaps, this one is all about you! Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine — as he chats with actress, soap scribe and author Louise Shaffer. On ALL MY CHILDREN, she was Erica’s stepmonster, Goldie Kane... on RYAN'S HOPE, her Rae Woodard shared hunky Michael with spoiled daughter Kimberly. On GUIDING LIGHT, her judge decided who'd have custody of Bridget's daughter. And on THE EDGE OF NIGHT, she played Serena Faraday and her alter, Josie. Shaffer also spent time scipting several shows, and has since penned several novels including the soap-set ALL MY SUSPECTS and such charming novels as LOOKING FOR A LOVE STORY and SERENDIPITY.

With only a week to go until ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE return thanks to Prospect Park and Hulu, we take a look at the lawsuit that had tongues wagging. Is there a valid case to be made... or is it a rather brilliant (and superbly timed) publicity stunt. In other news, we look at the most vile rumors regarding THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS to hit the internet in quite some time (which is truly saying something). Plus, now that THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Liam has finally married one of his ladies, what’s next? And did the show slip Brooke and Bill between the sheets too soon? GENERAL HOSPITAL gets a new Lulu, and in the process, Dominic Zamprogna (Dante) finally gets some great material! And now that DAYS OF OUR LIVES has allowed EJ to put a ring on it, what almost has to happen next for him and Sami? Join Soaps In Dpeth executive editor Richard M. Simms as he uses these topics as a jumping off point and then takes your calls! Remember, it's your show... got something you want to discuss? Pick up the phone and call in, tonight beginning at 7 p.m. EST!

Tonight, join Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms as we discuss all things GENERAL HOSPITAL... including the recently-concluded Nurses Ball, the return of Stavros Cassadine and of course the much-debated news that Michael Easton, Roger Howarth and Starr Alderson will return to the canvas beginning on May 10th. What's working for you? What's not? Call in and share your thoughts as we check into General Hospital and give it a thorough examination!

It took longer than many expected for THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke and Bill to hit the sheets, but did they still do it too soon? And is DAYS OF OUR LIVES finding out the hard way — via the nearly universally reviled Dannifer story — the hazzard of filming so far in advance? Might things have been different if the show could have corrected course sooner? Plus, did ABC miss the boat by turning their GENERAL HOSPITAL-centric episode of 20/20 into a Katie Couric Pimp-A-Thon? And is THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS finally getting things right where Adam — and, specifically, his relationship with his father — right? This will be our kicking off point tonight as host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, takes your calls on these and other topics. Rememer, as always, where the conversation goes is up to you! Got something you want to contribute or an entirely different topic you'd like to discuss? Call in!

How long is too long -- or not long enough -- when it comes to a soap character mourning their beloved partner, ala GENERAL HOSPITAL's Patrick and Sam? How important is it for a character's morality to either track or, at the very least, make sense (ala Brady finding God on DAYS OF OUR LIVES)? And how do you move a great character past a horrific mistake made by a writing regime (ala THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Adam kidnapping Sharon's baby or DAYS' Sami shooting EJ in the head?) This will be our kicking off point tonight as host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, takes your calls on these and other topics. Rememer, as always, where the conversation goes is up to you! Got something you want to contribute or an entirely different topic you'd like to discuss? Call in!

Spreading rumors has come a long way since the days of gossiping over white picket fences, hasn’t it? Thanks to the Internet, word spreads faster than a hooker’s legs! Tonight, we'll discuss some of the latest making the rounds… including how GENERAL HOSPITAL supposedly is dealing with the “Llanview Three” situation. Plus, we’ll take a look at how CBS has addressed their daytime diversity problem… and whether or not it’s proven a success, the biggest problem on DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ canvas and why THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS developing a bit of a split personality isn’t necessarily a bad thing. All this and more as host Richard M. Simms, executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine, takes your calls. Remember, it's your show... got a topic you want to discuss? Call in and join the conversation!

Tonight, join Soaps in Depth exeucutive editor Richard M. Simms as he chats with Barry Dodd, the man behind the spooktacular Web soap Ragged Isle. With the series now re-airing from the beginning (at http://www.entertainmentexperiment.com) — and the answer-filled, secret-revealing shocker of a final season slated to air this summer — we get inside the creator’s head in an attempt to suss out clues as to how things will rap up. Plus, find out how a soap from the past influnces events on Ragged Isle and what future projects might be percolating!

Now it can be told: GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Caleb wasn’t actually a vampire... or named Caleb... unless, of course, he was both. Now that GH’s controversial vampire storyline appears to have flown the coop, we’ll talk about the good (Michael Easton’s killer performances), the bad (the plot holes) and the downright ugly (the reaction of some viewers). Speaking of plots that are definitely getting a reaction, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Eric has moved Taylor in so quickly that we’re pretty sure we saw that portrait of Stephanie flinch. We’ll take your calls to find out what you think of this pairing... and how Brooke is likely to react! Plus, we’ll get your take on Steve Burton’s new role... do you still see GH's Jason when you look at THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' newest hunk, or are you all aboard the Dylan express? All this and more — remember, your calls dictate the conversation! — tonight, beginning at 7 p.m. EST.
