Tune In Tomorrow

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!
