Tune In Tomorrow

If THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS wanted to get people talking, they certainly succeeded when J.T. and Victoria's latest argument spun out of control and took a violent turn. Did the soap go too far, or is this the type of social-issue storyline that daytime dramas once did so regularly? Was this a case of a good story foisted upon the wrong characters? And what happens next? Plus, we'll take a look at the Daytime Emmy Nominations to talk who got a nod, who got snubbed and more!

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!

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!

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. Tonight, we'll discuss theories as to where things went wrong and look toward the future of the legendary soap. What changes would you like to see made? Call host Richard M. 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. What can fans expect from the currently-in-production WINTERTHORNE? Find out tonight!

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.
