I’m a co-host/guest on this week’s We Love Soaps podcast, with my pals Roger Newcomb and Damon Jacobs. Check out episode 11, as we dish the end of Guiding Light, the General Hospital carnival, One Life to Live‘s Russian mob drama and the Fish/Stacy twist and what we like about As the World Turns.

The morning after the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, people could be talking about the amazing tribute to Michael Jackson that kicked off the show: Madonna‘s speech and Janet Jackson‘s performance combined for a truly moving experience. People could also be dishing Lady GaGa‘s…well…Lady GaGa-ness or how Russell Brand needs to not ever host an… Read More Paying attention to the jerk behind the curtain
