On today’s Daytime Confidential podcast episode Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Melodie discuss the latest in soap opera news and storylines, including:

Guza’s dreams have come true. Vanessa Marcil is returning to General Hospital for the “foreseeable future” and Jamey is ecstatic. What will happen to all the Brenda Bots? Alice Horton is ailing on Days of our Lives and everyone is returning to Salem to pay their respects. Is the storyline being written well, or not? Christina Bennet Lind made her debut as Bianca on All My Children. Luke shares his first impressions of Lind in the role. The DC gang also discusses ABC’s What If web series. Luke loves the clips, but as Jamey points out ABC knows how to make a good promo. One Life to Live signs Sabine Singh as Wendy your neighborly hooker. What did Melodie think of David Vickers return to Llanview? Brad Bell pulled a fast one by having Brooke have sex with Oliver. Was it a hit or a miss and what happens for these two now? David Hasselhoff returned to Genoa City as Snapper on The Young and the Restless. We love that NutMeg is back on As the World Turns and nuttier than ever. Isn’t it great to have her back? James Franco should take over as head of the country’s unemployment office since he seems to be able to get everyone a job on General Hospital. His upcoming story arc will include an appearance by performance artist Kalup Linzy, who he helped get a role on the show.
