Kroll Call: Recent Episodes
Dan J. Kroll
Hosted by Dan J Kroll, KROLL CALL is a weekly, multi-platform infotainment show that features everything from celebrity interviews to expert advice. Listen to fun and engaging interviews with your favorite stars of film, television, and music, and then stick around for expert advice and tips on topics ranging from parenting to relationships, fashion trends to saving money, food to workouts, and more. KROLL CALL also allows the audience to become part of the show and come away with not just a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to talk to their favorite stars, but also the chance to receive a makeover, incredible advice, or some amazing surprise gifts. The show will also feature video clips to help listeners delve even further into detail on each episode’s topics.
For the first time in our 280-show history, there will be no special guests. Host Dan J Kroll will go solo for the entire hour. Perhaps he’s taking this whole “Independence Day” theme a little too far. But don’t worry — he’ll be kept company by some of the greatest singers of our time.
This week, Kroll Call marks the Independence Day holiday with a special hour of music. Dan will be playing songs by artists who got their start as part of well-known groups but then broke off on their own to become successful solo artists. Think the Beatles, the Supremes, and even Destiny’s Child.
But the list of artists who went solo after being part of a successful group runs surprisingly long — so long that it is impossible to get to every one in the course of an hour-long show. So we hope listeners will embrace this week’s show as the start of a new, annual Kroll Call tradition — and if your favorite group-members-turned-solo-artists aren’t included this year, we’ll get them next time!
As has been the tradition for holidays past, Kroll Call is celebrating the long Fourth of July holiday weekend with one of our music playlist specials. Last year, our July 4th special offered a look at artists who started off in a group before declaring their independence and heading off on a career as a solo artist. We kicked off the summer of 2016 with part one of our look at songs that were hits in summers past.
Because there were so many summer songs to choose from, we decided to create a special two-part edition. This episode of Kroll Call features more of the songs that you were listening to on the beach, humming in the swimming pool, or whistling along to in the mountains. So grab a snack and sit back and relax while you sing along to the hottest songs of summers past.

While the calendar may disagree — and we’re pretty sure that the groundhog can’t be trusted — to many people, Memorial Day is the unofficial start of summer. And who are we to argue with an early start to summer? br As has been the tradition for holidays past, Kroll Call is celebrating the unofficial start of summer with one of our music playlist specials. In the past, we’ve rediscovered lost hits of the 80s and 90s, grooved to the hits of Motown, found out which ear worms were stuck in our Kroll Call team’s heads, and dodged evil twins as we listened to songs that became popular thanks to appearances on soap operas. br This time around, we thought it would be fun to take a look back at some of the biggest hits of summers past. You know, the songs that you were listening to on the beach, humming in the swimming pool, or whistling along to in the mountains. So grab a snack and sit back and relax while you sing along to the hottest songs of summers past.
Award-winning actor Scott Turner Schofield (SKO-feeld) feels his purpose in life is to inspire Hollywood, your school, your job, and your family to embrace transgender people. He has been part of a groundbreaking storyline on CBS Daytime’s The Bold and the Beautiful, becoming the first openly transgender actor on daytime television. He’ll share that gift on this week’s Kroll Call as he discusses the so-called “Bathroom Bills” that require individuals to use the bathroom that corresponds to the gender listed on their birth certificate. He also says he “can’t wait to tell you why I think bathroom bills = best thing to happen to the #LGBTQ community yet.”
Then, changing topics ever so slightly, Robert Palmer Watkins, another of daytime’s promising newcomers, gives us a look into his world, a world that includes acting, singing, and a little danger in the form of rock climbing and surfing. We’ll talk musical theatre, his role on ABC’s General Hospital, and much more.
Two of the stars of the new film 35 and Ticking visit Soap Central Live to talk about their roles in the movie. The Young and the Restless' Darius McCrary (Malcolm Winters) discusses living life as a celebrity in the public eye, why networks seem to be abandoning soap operas, and his role in 35 and Ticking as a pro athlete who talks about himself in the third person. Then, former All My Children star Dondre Whitfield on his memories of working on AMC, reality television, and his most important role -- being a dad.
She’s been asked millions, if not billions, of questions yet most people might not be able to pick her out of a crowd. How is that possible? Susan Bennett is the voice that launch a million iPhones — she is the original real-life voice behind Apple’s Siri. She’ll talk about all of that and more — and hopefully
Then, almost everyone has a favorite dish that makes them think of their mother. The Kitchen Witch, Lyndsay Wells, is back with some Mother’s Day inspired recipes. From the perfect scrambled eggs for a Mother’s Day brunch to ideas that require no cooking skills whatsoever. Plus, will she be the person to finally convince host Dan J Kroll to eat his vegetables? Probably not, but you never know…
And Mother’s Day wouldn’t be complete without some sort of appearance from Dan’s mom or Nana. And just to make things interesting, it will all be a surprise.

In 1993, R&B quintet Silk cooed melodically about licking you up and down — but only until you said stop. “Freak Me” rocketed to the top of the charts and was followed by a series of best-selling singles, including “If You”, “Meeting In My Bedroom”, and “Girl U For Me.” Now 23 years and 5 million albums later, the group that was discovered by Keith Sweat is back with their seventh studio LP and another hit single. The group’s original members share how it all began and how they plan to make a new generation of fans “Lose Control.”
In 1995, Adina Howard burst onto the scene with her platinum-selling debut single “Freak Like Me.” It was something music fans hadn’t really experienced before: a sultry R&B singer who had no problem saying what she wanted any time of day. Now, Adina wears many hats; she’s a wife and mother, a Cordon Bleu trained chef, and a public speaker. Adina drops by to talk to Dan and reflects on her journey so far… and what’s still to come.
Do the songs of today sound awfully similar to songs of yesteryear? It might not be a coincidence! Tim English is a recognized authority on the topic of musical plagiarism in pop music.

Imagine that you’ve just met your soul mate. He’s smart, sexy, charming, and even spiritual. There’s just one problem. He’s gay and you’re not. Sex, Love, & Yoga is a new musical based on some of the real-life experiences of Dr. Stephanie Torres. Sex, Love, & Yoga tells the story of two people with a cosmic connection, who choose to push past their personal, physical, and spiritual boundaries in order to find out what lies beyond our labels. Stephanie has a Doctorate degree in Sexology from the Institute for the Advanced Study of Human Sexuality in San Francisco. www.DrStephanieTorres.com
While Dr. Torres discusses moving beyond labels, a new dramedy called Weight takes an oddball look at weight loss reality shows. Emmy winner Martha Byrne stars in the series, and she’s back to weigh in on the double standards of weight, the hilarity and reality television, and much more.
He’s been young, restless, fly, and now he’s High Strung. Actor/Singer/Writer/Producer Michael Damian is here to tell us about his upcoming film project. Kroll Call is hosted by Dan J Kroll.
Michael Damian is best known as Danny Romalotti on the top rated CBS daytime drama series, The Young and the Restless. As a singer, he has released five albums and has notched eight top 40 hits including Rock On which went to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.

On Kroll Call, we’ll delve into the music, life after YandR, and chat about his upcoming film High Strung.
From 1991 to 1999 Laura Bonarrigo played Cassie Cramer Reynolds Callison Coronal Buchanan Carpenter Buchanan on ABC’s One Life to Live. The long name should tell you that her alter ego was very well versed in the art of marriage — and divorce.

With many people fearing change, how can you survive the emotional roller coaster generated by the uncertainty and change brought on by divorce?
Then, you may remember a teenage Jeff B. Cohen as “Chunk” from the classic 1980s film The Goonies. Jeff is now a prominent transactional attorney and co-founder of Beverly Hills-based Cohen Gardner LLP. As a distinguished lecturer and writer, Jeff has penned The Dealmaker’s Ten Commandments: Ten Essential Tools for Business Forged In The Trenches of Hollywood.

Kroll Call goes back to its Soap Central Live roots for an hour of anything and everything soap. Soaps In Depth's executive editor Richard Simms returns to the show to help navigate some of the biggest soap stories of the moment.
After 37 years, Tony Geary opted to walk away from his General Hospital alter ego. And while the foggy sendoff was reportedly not what the actor wanted, fans have been vocal about what they wanted from the farewell episode. And did GH miss a huge opportunity to lure in new or lapsed viewers? General Hospital also parted ways with its head writer, Ron Carlivati, a man that Geary had stinging criticism for. Did Ron need to be replaced, or did he just need some time to recharge his batteries. And what challenges do the show's new co-head writers face?
Then, The Bold and the Beautiful pulled off yet another shocker. Just a few months after it stunned daytime viewers by announcing that a core character was a transgender woman, the CBS soap killed off a major character.
This week on Kroll Call, we step into the wayback machine to relive some of the best moments of music from the 1980s and 1990s. Tony nominees and real-life husband and wife Orfeh and Andy Karl join host Dan J Kroll to break out their cassingles and share their picks for Best Lost Hits of the 80s, Favorite Songs From 1985 to 1995, and Biggest Guilty Pleasures of the 1980s and 1990s. We challenge you not to sing along!
Martha Madison is a busy woman. In addition to hosting Soap Box and starring in the upcoming digital series Winterthorne, she’s also back at work on NBC’s long-running daytime series Days of our Lives. But that’s not all. She’s also a wife and mom. How does she find time to do it all? Martha explains and squeezes in a little time to play our speed round.
Then, between security checkpoints and oversold flights, getting from here to there is like running a gauntlet. How do you stay safe and healthy during your travels in the air, on the rails, and on the road? Tina Aldatz and Margie Floris explain how you can become a Savvy Traveler with tips and recommended products that are disposable, eco-friendly, and made in the USA.
Plus, Billy Mitchell is back with more Villain DeBlanks fun. And this time he’s brought a hilarious fill-in-the-blanks game for which Dan will provide the blank fillers live on the air. Villain DeBlanks is a stageplay where the audience helps create the play.
General Hospital newcomer Brytni Sarpy couldn’t have asked for a better time to join the show — she was part of a massive storyline for daytime icon Anthony Geary and part of one of the show’s most talked about families. Now, fans will have a chance to learn more about Brytni — from her mastery of accents to her least favorite household chore and what she knew about GH before joining the show.
Then, everything is a hashtag and everyone is tweeting. Or so it seems. Is Twitter’s heyday behind us? Author and entrepreneur Kevin Paul Scott shares his thoughts of why Twitter has stagnated and offers ways that the social media giant can spark new interest and growth. Plus, he has important tips for any business owners that are cultivating their online presence.
And playwright Lyle Kessler drops by to talk about his latest project headed to the stage. And we’re pretty sure the Philadelphia native will talk cheesesteaks, the Liberty Bell, and other things Philly with Dan.
For the first time in our 280-show history, there will be no special guests. Host Dan J Kroll will go solo for the entire hour. Perhaps he’s taking this whole “Independence Day” theme a little too far. But don’t worry — he’ll be kept company by some of the greatest singers of our time.
This week, Kroll Call marks the Independence Day holiday with a special hour of music. Dan will be playing songs by artists who got their start as part of well-known groups but then broke off on their own to become successful solo artists. Think the Beatles, the Supremes, and even Destiny’s Child.
But the list of artists who went solo after being part of a successful group runs surprisingly long — so long that it is impossible to get to every one in the course of an hour-long show. So we hope listeners will embrace this week’s show as the start of a new, annual Kroll Call tradition — and if your favorite group-members-turned-solo-artists aren’t included this year, we’ll get them next time!
Michelle Stafford is best known to TV fans for roles on The Young and the Restless, Pacific Palisades, and her current gig as Nina Clay on ABC’s long-running soap opera, General Hospital. Despite her success (two Daytime Emmy wins) in a genre known for drama, Michelle also has a very well-honed comedic side — her hilarious hit digital series The Stafford Project proved that. Now, Michelle is back with a new digital series for NickMom.com called The Secret Mind of a Single Mom. Is she the star… or is her real-life daughter, Natalia? We’ll have to let Michelle answer that on air.

This week on Kroll Call, after the overwhelmingly positive feedback from our fans about our 80s music “countdown” special, we’ve cued up some 45s from a different musical era: Motown. Recording artists and stars of the First National Tour of Motown: The Musical Patrice Covington and Jamison Scott drop by to play some of the greatest hits in Motown history. Hosted by Dan J Kroll, Kroll Call streams live every Friday and is available anytime on-demand at krollcall.com Patrice Covington has been seen all over the globe, belting tunes with all-star Broadway casts of smash hit shows and with her own original music. Her favorite performances include performing alongside American Idol’s Ruben Studdard in Ain’t Misbahvin’, as Effie in the Broadway National Tour of Dreamgirls, The Book of Mormon, and Motown the Musical. Patrice is honored to have been a part of the Grammy-nominated Broadway cast recording of Ain’t Misbehavin. Her latest feel-good single “Life Feels Good Right Now” is a dancy, poppy, happy, uplifting song that is available on iTunes and Amazon Music. Singer/songwriter Jamison Scott has been hard at work in the studio preparing the release of his full-length debut album. While the details are still a closely guarded secret, he tells us that it will be something of a country pop fusion. He’s taking time out of his busy music schedule and on-stage performances with the First National Tour of Motown the Musical to help countdown some of the biggest hits of the Motown era. Join us for a very special hour as Jamison, Patrice, and Dan each pick their favorite Motown songs by a male artist, female artist, and group. That’s nine amazing songs in one special episode of Kroll Call. Plus, there will be a tenth song that is destined to be a smash hit of its own.
She’s been asked millions, if not billions, of questions yet most people might not be able to pick her out of a crowd. How is that possible?

Then, almost everyone has a favorite dish that makes them think of their mother. The Kitchen Witch, Lyndsay Wells, is back with some Mother’s Day inspired recipes. From the perfect scrambled eggs for a Mother’s Day brunch to ideas that require no cooking skills whatsoever. Plus, will she be the person to finally convince host Dan J Kroll to eat his vegetables? Probably not, but you never know…
And Mother’s Day wouldn’t be complete without some sort of appearance from Dan’s mom or Nana. And just to make things interesting, it will all be a surprise.
Some of popular music’s biggest hits became hits because of their association with soap operas. Don’t believe us? Well, we have seven hits — spanning jazz, pop, country, and R&B — that prove otherwise. Join us for a special “countdown” of some of soap opera’s greatest hits.
You need not be a fan of soap operas to know these seven hits. In fact, you may be surprised to know that some of these songs were so closely associated with daytime television. One hit was one of the biggest hits of a decade, one was a smash hit that sold more than a million copies, and another came from the mother of one of pop music’s hottest artists. Two of the songs featured also doubled as theme songs for soaps. Another was sampled for a hypnotizing hip hop anthem.
Need more hints? Well, you’ll just have to tune in… or rather listen to a special soap song hit list with selections from soap experts Richard Simms of Soaps In Depth and Kroll Call host and soapcentral.com founder Dan J Kroll.
It’s an honor just to be nominated, but most people still want to win. This year, 32 performers are nominated in the acting categories. And, barring any ties, only seven will win. But what exactly are Emmy voters looking for when they cast their votes? Do voters consider just the submitted episode (as they’re instructed to do), or do they consider other factors, such as previous material and personal matters?
This year, Soaps In Depth‘s executive editor Richard Simms and soapcentral.com‘s Dan J Kroll take a look at who might win an Emmy statuette from two different viewpoints. Dan weighs his picks on the Emmy reels submitted by each performer. Richard, on the other hand, will consider each nominee’s body of work in the 2014 eligibility period.
Whose names do you think will be read on Emmy Night? Watch all of the reels for this year’s acting categories on soapcentral.com, and don’t forget to tune in the Emmy broadcast Sunday, April 26, at 8pm Eastern/5pm Pacific on the POP network.

Then, Lori Majewski continues our musical theme by discussing her book Mad World: An Oral History of New Wave Artists and Songs That Defined the 1980s. Get ready for a ride in the Kroll Call time machine as we head back to the ’80s — the 1980s, the time machine doesn’t go back to the 1880s!
One of the most important matters on Kroll Call is making sure we talk about topics that are of interest to our listeners. This week, for the first time, we’re allowing listeners to call in and tell us what issues are on their minds.
So far on Kroll Call, we’ve offered advice on love and relationships, given amazing tips to save money and look your best, shared ways to make tasty meals with ease, and chatted with some of your favorite stars of television and film. Now we’re opening up the phone lines to talk with you about the things that are on your mind. Maybe you’re stressing out about the holidays, or perhaps concerned about the recent police shootings. Maybe you’re not quite that deep and want to discuss the recent Royal visit or midseason TV finales.
All you have to do is dial 866.472.5788 during our live show on Friday, December 12, starting at 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific. You could be connected to Dan and any other guests who will discuss your topic with you.
As the hustle and bustle of the holiday season gets into full swing, it’s easy to have your finances derailed. Are you spending more money than you planned?
For more than 25 years, Stephanie Sherman has been helping working families, individuals, and business owners with their short and long-term financial goals. She’ll offer easy-to-understand tips for making sure that you don’t overspend during your holiday shopping.
When you are making your list and checking it twice, saving money is always nice. Whether you’re shopping for your holiday meal or looking for that perfect gift for someone on your list, Walmart has thousands and thousands of ways to add savings to your shopping experience.
Stylist David Zyla is back with even more ideas on How To Win At Shopping. Find out what's important when buying clothes as gifts. Plus, he’s got all the details of how (and when) to buy the perfect winter coat.
This week on Kroll Call, we step into the wayback machine to relive some of the best moments of music from the 1980s and 1990s. Tony nominees and real-life husband and wife Orfeh and Andy Karl join host Dan J Kroll to break out their cassingles and share their picks for Best Lost Hits of the 80s, Favorite Songs From 1985 to 1995, and Biggest Guilty Pleasures of the 1980s and 1990s. We challenge you not to sing along!
Delicious calorie-packed food. In-laws that hate you. The craziness of Black Friday shopping. How do you make it through the Thanksgiving holiday in one piece? This week’s Kroll Call provides a Thanksgiving Survival Guide to help you make it through the festivities. brbr What’s on the menu at actress Jen Lilley’s house? The avid baker shares her Thanksgiving advice, and discusses her role in the hit digital series Youthful Daze. brbr Then, Emmy-winning stylist David Zyla, author of the aptly titled How To Win At Shopping, shares his Black Friday playbook. David dishes how to know which deals are the best. brbr And while Thanksgiving should be a festive time of gathering and giving thanks, many people dread the holiday. Cynthia James — who will be joining the Kroll Call team as a Life Coach — shares her Affirmative Living tips for getting through the holiday. brbr Plus, throughout the hour, Lyndsay The Kitchen Witch Wells will offer tips to help making cooking your Thanksgiving meal a little easier!
It’s no dumb luck that actor Steve Tom is with us to talk about his new film Dumb and Dumber To (opening nationwide on November 14), a sequel twenty years in the making to the Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels’ laugher Dumb & Dumber. Steve previews the film and also gives us a sneak peek of his new web series, Alesia.
Then, the idea of children not having enough to eat is especially upsetting as we approach the holidays, but what many people don’t know is that 1 in 5 children face hunger in America today. As part of Unilever Project Sunlight’s campaign, documentary film maker Patrick Creadon captured the faces of hunger across America in a touching short Going to Bed Hungry: The Changing Face of Child Hunger.
And top stylist Sam Saboura is helping brides make life “altering” decisions for their wedding day on Something Borrowed, Something New. He’ll preview what’s ahead on the third season, airing Fridays at 10pm ET/9pm CT on TLC.
This week on Kroll Call, it’s a Halloween spooktacular hosted by Dan J Kroll. brbr Richard Simms offers a look at some of the scariest television series and films of all-time. Were you afraid to take a shower after seeing Psycho? Did you avoid hockey games after seeing Friday the 13th? Did Ghostbusters put an end to adding marshmallows in your hot chocolate? brbr Then, you can’t talk about Halloween without discussing mummies… and coffins! Kara Cooney, an expert in Egyptology, discusses her new book THE WOMAN WHO WOULD BE KING: Hatshepsut’s Rise to Power in Ancient Egypt. And she scares up the details of her six-year study of… coffins! brbr Plus, ask any kid what Halloween is all about and they’ll undoubtedly say the candy. But where does that leave parents? Rummaging through Junior’s candy stash after he goes to bed to pick out all the good pieces? There’s none of that on Kroll Call. Listen in as Sheila G, the founder of Brownie Brittle, helps out with a fun and tasty trick-or-treat giveaway.
Can you believe it's been 50 years since we were first introduced to television's favorite nose-twitching witch? Adam-Michael James drops by Kroll Call (we're assuming he'll be coming in by broomstick) to reminisce about Bewitched and share the details of his new book The Bewitched Continuum: The Ultimate Linear Guide To The Classic TV Series. Plus, as is often the case when there is witchery, there may just be a surprise or two. Are you the biggest Bewitched fan? Take our special quiz and find out! Then, with Halloween just around the corner, there can never be enough witches. Lyndsay Wells, who is known affectionately as the Kitchen Witch, drops by to offer some ideas for quick and easy Halloween treats, using items that you'll find around the kitchen. Plus, October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month and comedienne Suzanne Whang visits Kroll Call to discuss her three-time recurrence with stage four breast cancer. Plus, she tells the story of how photos of her surgery ended up getting her in trouble with Facebook. If you would like to share your stories of breast cancer survival or pay remembrance to someone whose battle has ended, we'd love to hear from you. Call 866.472.5788 during the show to share your story.

Fight it as you may and despite what soaring temperatures might indicate, summer 2014 will officially end this weekend. But before then, we're joined by Soaps In Depth's executive editor Richard Simms for a little soap opera picnic.
What are some of the stories that soap fans will be talking about this fall? Is Days of our Lives well-situated for the impending exits of E.J., Sami, and Kristen? Will Brooke's absence be an obstacle for The Bold and Beautiful? Why is Meredith Baxter's addition to The Young and the Restless so much different than the show's previous stunt casting? And what made General Hospital's Crichton-Clark drama better than some of the show's recent action-packed stories?
Then, Richard turns the tables on host Dan J Kroll to get more details about the fall premiere of Kroll Call. It's everything you love about Soap Central Live but with the ability to talk about more topics with more special guests.
Plus, it's a preview of some of the fall's most anticipated news series: American Horror Story: Freak Show,Gotham, Gracepoint, How To Get Away With Murder, Jane the Virgin, and Stalker.

Have you ever come across something on the Internet and not known if it was fact or fiction? When you're in the public eye, sometimes things are said or written about you that might not necessarily be true. Does it come with the territory, or is it unkind and unnecessary?
In a Soap Central Live exclusive, Jade Harlow talks about her time in daytime, from Passions to Days of our Lives. Were things as wacky behind the scenes of Passions as they were on-screen? And is she really out at Days of our Lives? Jade is put to the test in one of our always-entertaining games and takes calls from fans.
Then, fans weigh in on whether or not the scandalous tabloid headlines are part and parcel of being a celebrity. Are the tabloids out of line or are they only printing what the public wants to read? We also discuss the recent dust-up that one long-time soap veteran had with an online publication's claims that she badmouthed her show's executive producer to another daytime star.

When it comes to soap opera weddings, they're never quite a sure thing. Maybe 50% of the to-be-weds make it to the altar and have their sumptuous fairytale wedding. The other 50% typically have a loved one come back from the dead or some other form of wedding interruptus.
This week, Justin and Emily Baldoni visit Soap Central Live to talk about their video that became one of the biggest viral sensations of 2013. Called The Proposal, the 22-minute masterpiece shows one man's limitless love for his girlfriend -- and unlike many 'net videos, this one is real.
Then, it's a wrap-up of biggest news stories from the world of soaps in 2013. Richard Simms shares Soaps In Depth's picks, and host Dan J Kroll will share what stories were the most-read on soapcentral.com over the past twelve months.

There has yet to be an official announcement, but several of the stars of All My Children have confirmed fans' biggest fear: the show will not be returning for a second season under the Prospect Park masthead.
This week on Soap Central Live, we'll take a look back at the last two years of All My Children history -- cancellation to cancellation. Is there a possibility that these shows will somehow find life again? Would it have been better if All My Children and One Life to Live had never been resurrected online? We'll dissect some of the decisions made along the way that may have unwittingly alienated soap fans. From the use -- then non-use -- of curse words, to that infamous press release that said it was too challenging for viewers to watch four episodes of AMC per week.
Plus, we'll take a look at Prospect Park's lawsuit against ABC. What is Prospect Park alleging in their $125 million lawsuit?
And we also want to hear from fans to learn how they feel about the news.

The Twittersphere, Facebookiverse, and soapcentral.com message boards have been lighting up recently thanks to some controversial storylines. For episode 199 of Soap Central Live, we're inviting our most special guests to participate in the show: the fans. We couldn't have made it to our 200th episode without our listeners, so we're making sure that you have the opportunity to call in and talk about whatever is on your mind about your favorite soaps.
The Young and the Restless' decision to kill off little Delia has some fans outraged, while others are lamenting that the storyline may be too much like reality. The Bold and the Beautiful has always been known for its love triangles, but do fans want to see something more than torn lovers? And how do you feel about B&B's decision to bring in Thorsten Kaye as a recast for Ronn Moss's Ridge Forrester? General Hospital's Robin may be back, but will she ever be released -- and how many more masks does the soap have up its sleeve? Another Days of our Lives gathering resulted in bloodshed, and several of the show's younger performers are set to exit. Will the exits hurt the show's momentum?
We're interested in hearing from you. Be a part of the show: Join us on Friday, October 18 at 6pm Eastern/3pm Pacific and call in to 866.472.5788 to share your thoughts.

General Hospital’s 50th anniversary may have officially come and gone, but that doesn’t mean that the celebration has to stop. John Homa, the on-set casting coach at GH for nearly two decades, returns to Soap Central Live to share more behind-the-scenes stories of life in Port Charles. John will talk about what really went into some of GH’s most memorable scenes.

Jeff “Dock” Dockweiler returns to update fans on the status of Paos Revolution’s new web series, “Perfect Day,” a series that will allow soap fans to spend a day with their favorite soap stars – all for a good cause. This episode of Soap Central Live is dedicated to Allison J.

It's that time of year again: General Hospital's Jackie Zeman (Barbara Jean Bobbie Spencer) returns to Soap Central Live for her fourth annual on-air birthday bonanza -- and this year there's even more to celebrate because Jackie is returning to General Hospital beginning March 21! Join Jackie and her co-birthday celebrant, host Dan J Kroll.
The birthday girl and boy chat about soaps, take calls from listeners, and chat about anything that comes to mind. It's an hour of festive celebration that you won't want to miss.
If you have questions for Jackie or Dan, or if you have a “Pisces birthday,” you're invited to call in during the live show. If you cannot be with us live during the March 29 broadcast, you can call our 24/7 caller feedback line at 267.341.7627 and record a brief message, comment, or question. Your message may be played during the live show.
On March 23, 1995, the Internet's preeminent soap opera web site, soapcentral.com, opened its doors and welcomed soap fans from across the country and around the world to share their mutual love of all things soap.
On March 22, 2013, in a very special, hour-long star-studded celebration, find out how the site has impacted soap fans and stars over the past 18 years. And since we know how much host Dan J Kroll hates surprises, we've made sure that he has no idea who will be calling in -- and we've even lined up special guest hosts for the tribute.
It’s an hour of stars and surprises that fans will be talking about for a long time.
When it comes to soap operas, there are certain names that are iconic, names known to even those who have never watched a soap opera on a regular basis. An estimated 30 million people tuned in to watch General Hospital's Luke and Laura tie the knot, instantly making Genie Francis one of the most recognizable actresses in soap opera history.
Now, Genie Francis pays her first visit to Soap Central Live to talk about her storied run on General Hospital, her new (and totally different) role as Genevieve on The Young and the Restless, and her other projects.
Then, Genie will be reunited with her on-screen General Hospital mom, Denise Alexander, to talk about working on the hilarious hit web series, Pretty: The Series. What drew them both to the project, and do they see a future for soapy entertainment on the Internet?
Both Genie and Denise will be taking calls from fans, so it's truly an opportunity that fans will not want to miss -- and we think that's Pretty cool.
One of the most exciting – and nerve-racking things about live radio is knowing that anything can happen. Soap Central Live is, as the name implies, broadcast live every week.
When this week’s guest was unexpectedly called to set, a mad scramble took place to make sure that there was still a show. Join host Dan J Kroll as he opens the phone lines to fans to talk about anything and everything soap.
Soaps in Depth executive editor Richard Simms drops in as special guest co-host.
Jeff Dock Dockweiler is back as promised, with stories from behind the scenes of the world of soaps.
Danielle Parker (Emma Lavery, AMC) will join Dock. Danielle will talk about how Dock helped her to hone her craft, and she'll also share some of her personal memories of her time in Pine Valley.
Later in the show, Jordi Vilasuso (Griffin Castillo, AMC) and John Homa (on-set acting coach for General Hospital) join Dock to share the latest news from Paos Revolution. Plus, Jordi tells fans about his first week of work back on the All My Children set!
If you have questions for Dock, Danielle, John, or Jordi, or want to know more about Paos Revolution, you're invited to call in during the live show.

What were some of the storyline flops? What were the moments that just left fans shaking their heads? We’ll be joined by soapcentral.com’s Two Scoops columnists to look back at the year that was – and the stories we wish hadn’t made it to the airwaves.

Taxes. The economy. Foreign policy. Those are none of the issues that will be discussed in the first soap opera debate.
Soaps In Depth's executive editor Richard Simms and soapcentral.com's Dan J Kroll will tackle the serious issues facing soap opera fans today -- Would The Bold and the Beautiful fare better as a 60-minute soap? Which makes a better pairing -- General Hospital's Samantha with Jason or John McBain? Will All My Children and One Life to Live ever return to the airwaves?
It's an hour of lively, spirited soap debate that may not change the world, but for at least an hour, it will do what all good soaps should do: provide a temporary getaway from the real world.

All My Children fans are still coming to terms with not being able to visit their friends in Pine Valley, Soap Central Live is giving fans the chance to share their favorite moments and keep AMC alive until it makes its debut on the Internet.
In this special hour, fans are invited to call in and share their favorite storylines, the most memorable moments, and what they're doing to get by until All My Children returns under Prospect Park's production banner.
As All My Children fades to black on broadcast television, Soap Central Live remembers 41 years of Pine Valley memories. This special hour will feature interviews with the All My Children cast, including Susan Lucci, Debbi Morgan, Michael E Knight, Rebecca Budig, Cameron Mathison, Alicia Minshew, Jill Larson, Cady McClain, Jacob Young, Chrishell Stause, Denise Vasi, Stephanie Gatschet, Vincent Irizarry, and more. Plus, comments from All My Children creator Agnes Nixon. It’s a very special hour for anyone who loves All My Children.
It's been a somber week for soap fans. On September 16, the daytime community lost General Hospital star John Ingle. Ingle, best known as General Hospital's Edward Quartermaine and for a two-year stint as Mickey Horton on Days of our Lives, had been battling cancer. He was 84.
September also brings about the anniversary of the final episodes of All My Children, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light. The three soaps combined for more than 160 years of television history, and we're honoring that history by allowing fans to talk about what made those three shows so special.
This week's Soap Central Live is all about reminiscing and sharing memories. Fans are invited to call in and talk about their favorite Edward Quartermaine moments, or to talk about favorite moments from one of their canceled soaps.
On Friday, September 21, the soap opera goes to somewhere it's never gone before: the world of unscripted drama. Forget what you've heard about so-called reality series replacing soaps: this time those soapy twists and turns truly will be unexpected.
An all-star cast is teaming up for a live performance of the improvisational soap Scandal Crest. And while the performers will be given notes on where each scene needs to go, there will be no scripts to memorize. The dialogue and the story will all be made up on the fly... live.
Scandal Crest stars past and present soap stars Krista Allen (ex-Billie Reed, Days of our Lives), Molly Burnett (ex-Melanie Jonas, DAYS), Diana Costa, Sean Kanan (Deacon Sharpe, The Bold and the Beautiful/The Young and the Restless), Dan Kane, Eric Martsolf (Brady Black, DAYS), Jen Parker, Dwayne Perkins, Dale Raoul, and Freddie Smith (Sonny Kiriakis, DAYS).
Being the daughter of the legendary Erica Kane is, on its own, enough to be considered a landmark character. Bianca Montgomery, however, is an iconic character in television history in her own right.
In 2000, Bianca came out as lesbian, and the character embarked in a series of history-making milestones in daytime television. Bianca and Lena Kundera shared the first same-sex kiss in soap history. Less than a decade later, Bianca married her partner, Reese Williams, in daytime’s first same-sex wedding.
But more than the “firsts,” Bianca’s life struggles resonated with viewers. From battling anorexia to surviving a sexual assault, the fictional character has served as a real-life inspiration to millions.
For the first time ever, two of All My Children’s best-known Biancas, Christina Bennett Lind and Emmy winner Eden Riegel, will appear together.
It may be the end of summer, but the behind-the-scenes action at the four remaining soap operas have never been hotter. Don't believe us? Check this out. Two of The Bold and the Beautiful's four remaining original cast members are exiting. Days of our Lives is preparing for another reboot. General Hospital fans are reeling from news that Steve Burton is out as Jason Morgan, but are still wondering how the show pulled off its unannounced return of Ian Buchanan as Duke Lavery. The Young and the Restless is looking to diversify its cast under their new executive producer and head writer. And there's also the matter of whether or not Christel Khalil is out as Lily Winters. We're opening the phone lines all hour to you, the fans, to find out what you think of all the casting changes. Are you upset? Excited? Cautiously optimistic? We want to hear what you have to say, so hit us on the hotline, toll-free, at 866.472.5788.

Stories of poisoned berries, doppelgangers, and death by volcano gave many viewers a headache. The Two Scoops columnist from soapcentral.com offer their picks for the worst stories and moments of the year gone by as part of a preview of their Best and Worst year-end columns.
And on-screen grumbles aren't all our columnists have to talk about. What a long, strange year it's been for the world of soaps. ABC announced the cancellation of two of its venerable soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live, and rumors of other cancellations swirled. Just when all hope looked gone, a company called Prospect Park swooped in and announced it would save the two canceled soaps. By the end of the year, though, that promise seemed too big to deliver.
It's an hour of purging the bad and getting ready for a year of new beginnings in a laugh-filled hour-long special edition of Soap Central Live.
