Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman are known by millions as daytime's Josh and Reva, supercouple of the CBS drama Guiding Light. Since GL went off the air for good in 2009 (with Robert and Kim in the very last scenes of the series), the pair moved on to new gigs on stage and TV - some of them together!Except for a couple of breaks, Robert spent 28 years on Guiding Light as Josh; Kim spent 21 years in Springfield and hauled away four Daytime Emmys for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. In this visit to The Richard Piet Show, Robert - who was nominated for two Soap Opera Digest awards and four Daytime Emmys in his role as Josh - talks about the effects of COVID-19 on the industry and what he's doing next (at least a little about it!). He and Kim also speak frankly of their feelings about Guiding Light's cancellation. At its end, GL was the longest running daytime drama on TV - having started on radio in 1937, then moving to TV in 1952.You will also hear them speak fondly of The Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan where summer stock audiences have enjoyed them year after - sometimes in the same production. Robert and Kim have traveled the country visiting similar stages and audiences from coast to coast.

From 2010: You don’t have to be an afternoon soap opera fan to know and appreciate that a giant passed when CBS turned off the power on Guiding Light on September 18, 2009. The show was the longest running drama in broadcast history, having started on NBC Radio in 1937 as a 15-minute serial and moving to CBS Television in 1952. It went on to rack up 16,000 episodes. Joining me today to talk about their the Guiding Light soap are co-stars Kim Zimmer and Robert Newman.
From 2011: Kim Zimmer was with the soap opera Guiding Light for 26 years – more than a third of the 72 years the show was on radio and television. But a look at the picture of her on the cover of her new memoir, I’m Just Sayin’! Three Deaths, Seven Husbands, and a Clone! My Life as a Daytime Diva, doesn’t suggest someone headed for a rockin’ chair. She’s too feisty – based on the content of her book – to ever just fade away.

Daytime Confidential/Pop Confidential’s Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan returned to Sirius XM's The Morning Jolt With Larry Flick Friday, November 5 for two hours of daytime and pop culture dissection with Flick and his partner-in-snark Keith Price. In the wild first hour, Larry let loose with several comments about General Hospital’s Elizabeth Webber that had Jamey, Luke and Regan howling in defense of their sacred heroine, as DC's lone JaSam fan Jillian cheered. The return of Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo as Brenda Barrett was also discussed. Does the veteran Billboard writer and radio personality feel the story is limping along like the DC'ers? The discussion shifted to One Life to Live, the show Larry previously said should be canceled the last time the gang appeared. Has the return of soap superstar Kim Zimmer as Countess Echo di Savoy helped change that opinion? What about All My Children, The Bold and the Beautiful, Y&R and DAYS? Don't worry, they all get plenty of raunchy, hilarious service! During the second hour, Larry dives into Pop Confidential territory, taking Luke to task over his dislike of country's current teen queen Taylor Swift. Then, pop culture meets politics as Larry and Keith weigh in on the recent Pop Confidential podcast debate over former President George W. Bush saying Kanye West’ claiming Bush hated black people was the low point of his presidency.

The show’s ratings go up. General Hospital’s Lulu uncovers Dante and Brenda’s connection. Will the secret they share wreck Dante’s credibility? Luke wants there to be a Dante and Brenda love child hidden away somewhere, but no one else on the podcast likes the idea. Did anyone actually watch ABC’s “classic” episodes on October 28? ABC is touting One Life to Live clobbering The Talk in the ratings. Hillary B. Smith reups her contract to keep her in Llanview. Susan Haskell is bringing it at Marty. Todd and Tea are reunited. Who should Blair be with now that Todd and Tea are back together? The Hannah storyline collapsed in the scenes where she holds James and Starr at gunpoint. Luke asks the DC gang what they think of Kim Zimmer’s Echo now that she’s been in town for a while. Meggie’s plot to get Nikki out of the way so she can get her hands on Victor is well on its way.

Greenlee’s trial isn’t impressing anyone. Will Linday Hartley’s arrival shake things up for Pine Valley’s residents? Thorsten Kaye returns, but what can AMC do about Kendall? Jamey and Jillian are in love with The Bold and the Beautiful’s cancer storyline. Could it give B&B a three-peat at the Emmys or now that they actually deserve the award will they lose it? Days of our Lives needs to figure out how to solve its storyline problems as the show is dead last in total viewers and households. Could DAYS regain their ratings luster by pairing Carly with EJ and developing a Carly/EJ/Sami triangle? Daniel and Chloe get married, but was most impressed with Molly Burnett as Melanie. General Hospital’s Tony Geary weighs in on the decline of soaps. Patrick and Robin make David Letterman’s Top 10 list. Did Brenda and Dante sleep together?

The best of the best, in a Brandon's Buzz special presentation!
On today’s Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Jillian and Regan react to the news that Chris Goutman could be directing episodes of The Young and the Restless.

The celebrity casting war between Y&R and General Hospital continues as Daniel Benzali checks into GH. Meanwhile, One Life to Live isn’t slouching when it comes to casting.

On today’s Daytime Confidential podcast TV Guide’s Michael Logan returns to dish all the latest industry news and hottest storylines with Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan. During the super-sized episode, the gang discusses the end of As the World Turns, if P&G plans to create their own soap hub and where its stars will end up. Logan weighs in on Vanessa Marcil Giovinazzo’s return to General Hospital as Brenda. Has it been a success or a bust? Find out which Brenda reunion Logan is looking forward to most. What will Sam McCall do when she comes face-to-face with Brenda? Logan also comments on Jonathan Jackson’s latest storyline as Lucky impersonating the Irish assassin Ronan. On paper, Vivian being buried alive on Days of our Lives looks like it should be entertaining. Find out what Logan thinks of DAYS’ new twist on one of its classic storylines. Many fans have been disappointed with how DAYS has written Crystal Chappell’s Carly Manning since her return. Logan shares his thoughts on why fantastic actresses–like Chappell, Eden Riegel and Gina Tognoni–have been snatched up by various shows without much apparent thought on their character’s development. All My Children has been making some major casting changes with the firing of Adam Mayfield, Brittany Allen and the casting of Daniel Cosgrove and Lindsay Hartley. Logan comments on the AMC casting shakeup and if the show’s move to L.A. has been a success. One Life to Live is bringing back Kim Zimmer as Echo. Will her return help provide Dorian and Viki with more storylines? Luke and Jillian are tired of the Ford brothers dominating air time so they get Logan’s opinion of the Ford Brothers and the Llanview teen set. Brad Bell is tackling a pretty intense topic by giving Stephanie stage four cancer on The Bold and the Beautiful. Can he pull it off? Logan weighs in on the front burner storyline, Scott Clifton as Liam and the new Thomas Forrester. Last time Logan visited the Daytime Confidential podcast, he wasn’t too happy about the state of The Young and the Restless, so the DC crew asks if he thinks things have improved at the No. 1 soap. Jillian and Logan bask in their common love for Nikki Newman. As the podcast winds down, the DC gang wraps things up by asking about the soap genre’s future and they get Logan’s opinion on the web series The Bay and Venice.

In her legendary Soap Opera Weekly column Critical Condition (which ran from 1989-2001), she penned some of the most probing, interesting, spot-on prose --- positive AND negative! --- ever written about "Guiding Light," and as we all prepare to sit shivah over the loss of this uniquely American treasure, Marlena De Lacroix herself, CONNIE PASSALACQUA HAYMAN is coming by the Buzz for a frank discussion of what went gloriously right --- and so ghoulishly wrong --- with television's longest-running series.
Many call her the most interesting, most imaginative, most important storyteller in the illustrious seven-decade history of "Guiding Light," and she owns two Outstanding Writing Daytime Emmys to back up that assertion. Now, on the eve of that classic soap's heartbreaking final episode, the incredible PAMELA K. LONG is coming by Brandon's Buzz to discuss her memories of the show and to talk about the characters (Reva! Josh! Fletcher! Alexandra! Harley!) whom she continues to hold dear to her heart.

They go in depth with their thoughts on Buzz (Justin Deas) locking Coop (John Driscoll) up, Jenna's (Fiona Hutchison) Ghostly return, Phillip's rescue of Coop after the crash, Phillip interrupting Beth and Alan's wedding, Phillip and Alan's at Phillip's headstone, the hospitalization of Coop, Phillip and Rick and the Josh/Reva/Jeffery/Shayne/Dinah factor. After picking the best and worst moments of the anticipated week, the gang discusses the production values and what did and didn't work. Finally, they look to the future. Melodie shares some of her latest spoilers before Luke poses the all important questions. Is Phillip's return enough to help Guiding Light avoid cancellation? Has the return of Aleksander made the unthinkable six months ago - Guiding Light surviving without Reva if Kim Zimmer ever decided to leave - a realistic possibility?

On today's CBS and Days of Our Lives Daytime Confidential episode Luke, Mike, Jamey and Jillian discuss the latest news and recaps for As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, Guiding Light and The Young and the Restless including... Predictions on how much Grant Alexsander's return will bump ratings up or down. Melodie has an update on her spoilers from December. It's not Kim Zimmer's fault that Guiding Light has gone down hill, should she have to take a pay cut during this next go around? Could GL survive without Reva (Kim Zimmer) if she didn't accept pay cuts and left the show? As the World Recasts is systematically breaking Douglas Marland's rules on how not to wreck a soap and it's making it hard to watch so many new faces. Who knew that all it took to have a successful fashion show was Donna in a knit bikini? Mike goes ballistic and isn't going to take it from The Bold and the Beautiful anymore. Kyle Lowder and Ronn Moss pop up on The Soup. Rick and Steffy are so cliche it hurts. What is up with The Young and the Restless trying to put almost every boring character in one scene? Neil's wedding featured Karen and Victoria, not to mention a the character castrated JT all in one scene. Gloria discovers Katherine in jail. Jamey thinks that Maria Arena Bell has a check list of all of LML's debacles and is fixing everything one, by one by one. Could Daniel and Chloe be the next big Days of Our Lives couple? Jamey seems to think so. Imagine if Dena Higley was writing your life ala Stranger Than Fiction?
It's a veritable clusterf**k as we wander up and down the discussion landscape. We try to mix things up a bit (again) with disasterous results, we talk about Taylor's turn to travel a lot this week (though not nearly as glamourous as Taffy's recent jaunts), watching gay porn with your mom, Taffy's mother listening to the last episode and the aftermath, Rodan's job hunt, Disney Princesses and weddings, Cheer Idol (in Taffy's mind), Heroes, Rodan and his sad DVD watching, Taffy's Question of the Week (or three). Oh, and Taylor sings....badly. This Spring, Pod is My Copilot is a girl's best accessory! Music: Brain Bukit: Run Rabbit/The Chase. Special Guest Stars: Fozzie Bear and Kermit The Frog.
