On episode 1169 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr is joined by his friend Bryan, a lapsed soap fan who grew up watching soaps like The Young and the Restless and Days of Our Lives with his mom and grandma before watching Sunset Beach and Passions in adulthood.

The two have a conversation about CBS’s newest soap opera Beyond the Gates and how it hooked Bryan into watching soaps again.

Bryan shares how he didn’t like Dani at first before coming to love the character. He dives into the stories and characters that interest him most and what will keep him tuning in or might make him tune out.

Has Beyond the Gates encouraged him to watch other CBS soaps? Would he tune in if another new soap premiered? 

All this and more on the latest Daytime Confidential podcast!
