Yes, my podcast announcement subject titles are getting more and more ludicrous. That’s just how I roll, folks! I joined We Love Soaps‘ Roger Newcomb this week for WLS Radio Episode 14. We dish the industry’s big casting news, the Kyle/Fish story on OLTL (yeah, I know you’re all shocked!), the AMC move, and Lily’s… Read More I sing the pod-y electric.

Almost an entire episode of General Hospital devoted to people smiling, laughing, having a good time? Mac flirting with Alexis? Coleman calling back to his thing for uptight, prissy, drunk women by putting the moves on Kate? Matt’s lack of a love life actually being addressed? Jason and Sam being all adorable and going home… Read More GH: once more, with feeling.
You know what never fails to make me hit the brakes on a storyline? Violence against women.
