The Pine Valley Podcast: Recent Episodes
Ashley Mendoza and Jordan Hudson
Snarky, ass-toot discussion and analysis of what's left of daytime TV, some primetime, and a little dose of reality!
There ain't shit going on on television, so we're getting our entertainment from the cyber-screen! Yeah, this week we talk about soaps, reality, primetime, but we're also super-duper excited about the season premiere of Latin Lives, so pardon us if we'd really rather just talk about that.
Of course, we really, really, really wan to hear from you. If you will, just leave those ass-toot
Yo' people! We're back this week after a busy holiday season and a very Happy New Year beginning. We're talking some sad endings (David Bowie, Patricia Elliott of One Life to Live, Mr. Celine Dion), but we've also got some happy endings (Downton Abbey, new writers at General Hospital), and some general life-and-shit observations. (White Oscars? White people? The Donald?)
It's a short one - the
This is a very belated post of a podcast we recorded two weeks ago. (Sorry, Jordan Hudson!) Maybe that's because we start off on a very sad note - the passing of our beloved David Canary. It's hard to say goodbye to our soap stars - they work so very hard, give so very much, and don't always get the glory or accolades they deserve. David, we adored you and are so very grateful for the work
We're back! Just giving this little thing we call The Pine Valley Podcast another go, because we just like doing it for (both of) you listeners!
Jordan and I missed each other like crazy, and this week he's filling me in on all things soap, Twitter, and The View. Plus Jordan's got another another "life," if you will - producing his very own soap, Latin Lives. Watch it, people - and subscribe
Howdy folks! We're trying our hand at this podcast thing again, talking soap deaths, soap lifes, old faces at new soaps, old faces leaving old soaps... You get the picture.
The feedback from our last (first in-a-while) podcast was incredible. And I mean, incredible. So do your thing as only you know how, because we do this for you, and only you, and we just love hearing from you. You know who
In case you've not been following the real-life soapy antics of our drama queen friends over at Prospect Park, here's the story, in all its, uh, glory?
So here we go again, on another roller coaster ride. Will One Life to Live live again? Will All My Children have more children?
What do you think? We'd love to hear from you. Leave those ass-toot thoughts and observations here, por favor.
I can't for the life of me understand how the podcast is on iTunes one day, and gone the next. So I'm trying again! (Gat-damned iTunes!)
Let's hope this works - and in the meantime, have fun with the press on Daytime Emmy Madness. The world has truly gone mad when Judy Blind Wilson wins for casting and General Hospital gets 2 awards - and one of them goes to Ms. "
We're feeling a not-so-great case of deja vu here at The Pine Valley Podcast.
A work stoppage and head writer switches are among the, uh, things that have us, well, a little less than optimistic this week as we head into week 7 of the return of our All My Children and One Life to Live. Now that we've had our say (and boy, do we have our say), what do you, dear viewers and listeners, think of it
As we head into week 2 of the online return of All My Children and One Life to Live, Jordan and I are in clear agreement on some (and not so clear agreement on other) stories, performances, etcetera, etcetera. But heck, that's what makes the Pine Valley Podcast the Pine Valley Podcast.
What's really important, though? It's what you, dear viewers and listeners, think. So go forth and do
Welcome Back, All My Children. We missed you so.
We missed you, dear viewers and listeners, even more! So please, do your thing, like you've always done, right here, right now. We're so excited to hear from you all, we might burst.
PS - Another shout-out to our beloved Luis2K for our amazing new Pine Valley Podcast theme song! You continue to amaze us with your generosity and talent. Thank
Ok, those are the best AMC, OLTL and soap puns I can come up with at this late hour. I still can't believe this is happening! In just a few hours our stories are back! So some things might be different. We're used to that. ABC was always screwing with writers, actors and stories. For the first time in eons though, Agnes is back with genuine input and folks that care about the fan experience. Call
This week, it's all about "what" vs. "how" vs. "why." What will All My Children and One Life to Live be like online? With only a random handful of actors signed for each show, how the hell do they make it to air in a month? Why-oh-freakin'-why do we need vampires (again) on General Hospital? (Though I am digging Michael Easton's hair extensions and bejeweled hand-toss gestures gi-normously.)
The folks at Prospect Park are at it again, but this time, they mean it. Or do they?
Deals have been inked with the DGA and SAG-AFTRA (but the WGA can kiss PPk's fat ass).
Lots more news about all of this at Daytime Confidential and We Love Soaps - the situation (like our soaps) seems to be changing daily. (Hottest news? Lindsay Hartley and Vincent Irrizarry are IN!)
One thing that isn't
This podcast from August should be available now in iTunes. (Or maybe we should have just left well enough alone?)
Let us know what you thought here.

Hello PVPers! This week, we're talking General Hospital (and only General Hospital). Like Spinelli's "Bird Hunting" tips, we're offering you a guide to listening to The PVP this week:
1) Turn down the volume on your listening devices. We've got stuff to scream about this week.
2) Listen, if you can bear the noise.
3) Leave your thoughts, observations, ass-toot comments here. (We could both

Probably the closest you'll get to a podcast - for now. :(
Love you party people!
Welcome baby girl! Only 5 days old and already enjoying GH with Mommy!
Hope to be back soon-lots to talk about!
People! Daytime is BACK! Thanks to the good folks at General Hospital - from Frank Valentini to Ron Carlivati to an uh-MAY-zing cast of newbies and vets alike - we got ourselves a daytime soap to ENJOY!I, myself, look forward to enjoying daytime for the next few weeks. I'm 35 weeks preggers today and will pop in a month or so, so my DVR may get a little backed up after that!(And if GH ain't
Our first post AMC and OLTL podcast! Jordan and I discuss what's left of daytime (that we're actually watching - well, at least Jordan is), some primetime drah-ma, and, of course, The Bachelor. (That one was my addition to the conversation, naturally.)Thoughts? Suggestions? Comments? Leave 'em here, please. We love hearing from you, darlings!2/22/12 Podcast
The final episode of One Life to Live needs no comment here.Hope you enjoy the podcast. We loved the show.(And continue the lovefest, if you will, here.)1/13/12 Podcast
So the week is almost over, and we have, at this writing, 6 more eppys left of our beloved One Life to Live. Jordan has been crying everyday at what he calls a "flawless" week of soap. (I agree - mostly. I could do without Nora's text message acting. You do get paid nicely for this, Hillary B. Smith. Whats the "B" stand for? Bullshit acting?)Regardless, I'm loving the developments (and
No new podcast yet, folks - Jordan is way sick. I can deal with sick, but he's lost his voice. Believe you me, Jordan Hudson without his voice is like Melissa Archer without makeup-it ain't pretty. (Ouch! I'm actually liking Melissa Archer these days - just couldn't resist.) With all that is happening in daytime and on One Life to Live, it's not a good week for Jordan to go speechless. We'll
Ok, so by now the news that St. Charles Place Productions has no money (and never had the ability) to continue EITHER All My Children nor One Life to Live online is, quite frankly, old news. But talk about it we did on this week's podcast, so you'll get an earful on that.What you won't get an earful on, unfortunately, is the latest news that resident douchebag Mr. Brian Frons has stepped down
Hey folks! We're giving this thing a shot! The PVP is continuing to produce our little show, talking all things soap, Dirty Soap, nighttime drama, nighttime (not-so) reality.... And we hope you'll continue to join us as we wait for Prospect Park to get its shit together and maybe start making some soap operas! We're trying so-very-hard not to be dubious, but with stats like these, things
All My Children may have ended on September 23rd, but we here at the Pine Valley Podcast are still in mourning. So we hope you'll pardon us if we still feel the need to talk about it. (For listeners of the classic PVP, we even have a little surprise for you if you make it all the way to the end!)Jordan and I will be back soon on the 'cast to talk about One Life to Live and other "ephemera."
