Vampires And Werewolves And Boom Mics… Oh My!

April 14, 2014 23:00 - 53 minutes - 11.9 MB

Long before GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Faison donned voice-altering masks or DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ Stefano started implanting chips in people’s brains, millions of people across the country found themselves enthralled by a slow-speaking vampire, the doctor who not-so-secretly loved him and the wealthy residents of a house perched high atop Widow’s Hill. Tonight, join host Richard M. Simms -- executive editor of Soaps In Depth magazine -- as he welcomes Danny Horn, author of the informative, hysterical a...

A Tale Of Two Parties. PLUS: Spoiler Alert!

March 24, 2014 23:00 - 1 hour - 20.6 MB

Folks who don’t actually watch soap operas often make assumptions that simply aren’t true. One of their favorites? “They’re all the same.” But viewers know nothing could be further from the truth. Each soap has a distinctive style... right down to their preferred type of gathering. Last week, we got a great example of this when DAYS OF OUR LIVES and GENERAL HOSPITAL each hosted parties. The former featured folks getting together for pizza and gossip, the latter involved major reveals and gorg...

March 10, 2014 23:00 - 1 hour - 14.1 MB

So apparently, while Soaps In Depth’s executive editor Richard M. Simms was off sailing the high seas, a whole lot happened back home.

Wedding Fever

December 03, 2013 00:00 - 1 hour - 16.1 MB

If April showers bring May flowers, than November sweeps must bring December weddings. On GENERAL HOSPITAL, fans were literally shouting at their screens today as Robin sat at the back of the church listening to her husband exchange vows with another woman.

Meanwhile, over on THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL, Rick and Caroline announced they were tying the knot and had done so an episode later. Both were quintessential s...

What Can EJami Teach Other Soap Couples?

November 26, 2013 00:00 - 1 hour - 19.3 MB

Every soap has one. That couple that has killer chemistry, a whole lot of fans... and a history that makes other viewers say “No way, Jose!” THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS’ Sharon and Adam; GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Carly and Franco; THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke and Bill... and of course, DAYS OF OUR LIVES’ EJ and Sami. But DAYS has proven that if written right, even those most opposed to a couple hooking up can be made to see things different. Tonight, host Richard M. Simms — executive editor of Soa...

Charlie Takes Over The Book Club!

August 19, 2013 23:00 - 56 minutes - 12.6 MB

Tonight, our regularly scheduled soap chat is hijacked by the August Book Club meeting... which promises to be quite the event. Why?

Richard's international bestseller... well, seller anyway, Crimes Against Civility. We'll provide the talk and the fun, but it's BYOB as far as cocktails are concerned! The show will ...

On The Couch: Sharon Newman

July 18, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 21.4 MB

Is THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Sharon Newman a lost cause who can’t find her way off the cray-cray train… or is her latest desperate act the thing that might finally put her back on the road to redemption?

Others -- including Soaps in Depth executive editor and your host, Richard M. Simms -...

Hot Topics, Soap Style!

May 20, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 20.7 MB

In a move nobody saw coming — but perhaps we all should have — Prospect Park last week announced that ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE would be cut back to two days a week.

Simms will take your calls as we try to sort out fact from fiction. Plus, we’ll find out how fans are reacting to the new roles taken on by GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Kr...

Rating The Returns… Plus: Emmy Noms!

May 06, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 22.8 MB

ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE returning seemed about as likely as your host, Soaps In Depth executive editor Richard M. Simms, giving up French fries.

April 22, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 20.7 MB

With only a week to go until ALL MY CHILDREN and ONE LIFE TO LIVE return thanks to Prospect Park and Hulu, we take a look at the lawsuit that had tongues wagging.

Sex! Now That I Have Your Attention...

April 08, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 23.9 MB

It took longer than many expected for THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Brooke and Bill to hit the sheets, but did they still do it too soon? And is DAYS OF OUR LIVES finding out the hard way — via the nearly universally reviled Dannifer story — the hazzard of filming so far in advance? Might things have been different if the show could have corrected course sooner? Plus, did ABC miss the boat by turning their GENERAL HOSPITAL-centric episode of 20/20 into a Katie Couric Pimp-A-Thon? And is THE YOU...

Mourning, Morality and More!

April 03, 2013 23:00 - 1 hour - 23.8 MB

How long is too long -- or not long enough -- when it comes to a soap character mourning their beloved partner, ala GENERAL HOSPITAL's Patrick and Sam? How important is it for a character's morality to either track or, at the very least, make sense (ala Brady finding God on DAYS OF OUR LIVES)? And how do you move a great character past a horrific mistake made by a writing regime (ala THE YOUNG & THE RESTLESS' Adam kidnapping Sharon's baby or DAYS' Sami shooting EJ in the head?) This will be o...

Plus, find out how a soap from the past influnces events on Ragged...

Endings and Beginnings

March 05, 2013 00:00 - 1 hour - 21.1 MB

Now it can be told: GENERAL HOSPITAL’s Caleb wasn’t actually a vampire... or named Caleb... unless, of course, he was both. Now that GH’s controversial vampire storyline appears to have flown the coop, we’ll talk about the good (Michael Easton’s killer performances), the bad (the plot holes) and the downright ugly (the reaction of some viewers). Speaking of plots that are definitely getting a reaction, THE BOLD & THE BEAUTIFUL’s Eric has moved Taylor in so quickly that we’re pretty sure we s...
