DC #622: BOMBSHELL Michael Muhney Interview May 11, 2011

Show notes

He's BAAACK! That's right The Young and the Restless lovers, Michael Muhney aka the dastardly Adam Newman, returns to the Daytime Confidential podcast. Tune in to hear the passionate actor talk with Luke Kerr, Jamey Giddens and Jillian Bowe about the goings on in Genoa City and the rest of the soap game.

Now that his damsel in perennial distress Sharon (Sharon Case) is playing opposum, while hugging baby lambs on some farm off in God's country, who would Muhney like to see Adam paired with? His answer may surprise you, but not if you're capable of following the impressive actor's stream of consciousness poetic waxings.

What does Muhney think of the current state the daytime television industry finds itself in? Hear why he says soaps have to step up their game to stick around. Then Muhney goes IN about his views on the Daytime Emmy nomination process, taking NATAS to task for what he feels is a system that doesn't see the best and brightest of daytime receive the recognition it deserves. Fasten your seatbelts kiddies, we haven't had a podcast this hot-like-fiya in a long time!

In February, Jamey reported ABC would be making a major decision about its line up in April. On April 1 Logan took the story one step further, reporting ABC would likely cancel both AMC and OLTL. It was one report Logan wishes he was wrong about.

During the episode, Logan discusses with the DC gang how the industry came to this point in time, how several soaps' PR teams are not doing their jobs, whether-or-not we can ever believe an ABC press release again, what this means for the four remaining soaps and much more.

After the episode ends, hear more calls to the Daytime Confidential hotline by fans of AMC and OLTL as they share their reaction to the news.

DC #616: ABC Cancels All My Children and One Life to Live Apr 15, 2011

Show notes

On today’s Daytime Confidential podcast Luke Kerr, Jamey Giddens, Jillian Bowe, Regan Cellura, Melodie Aikles and J Bernard Jones discuss ABC’s decision to cancel two of its three soaps, All My Children and One Life to Live.

During the episode the DC gang shares their reactions to the sad news that the two long-running serials have been canceled. What path led to each show’s cancellation? Who is responsible or shares in the blame? They recap the progression of reports since Jamey first reported, back in February, ABC would be making a major decision in April. Did All My Children throw its actors under the bus? Susan Lucci has been a class act through it all, while Robin Strasser’s poignant hotline message to fans pulled at the heart strings. Might Oprah be interested in saving AMC and OLTL by bringing them to the OWN network?

Then each in the group reveals how they’d like to see each soap wrap up its run. However, there are differing opinions on how to tie everything up on each of the shows. Melodie’s ending for AMC is all about Erica Kane while you’re not going to want to miss Jamey’s tongue-in-cheek suggestion for Viki and Dorian on OLTL.

After All My Children goes off the air in September it will be replaced by The Chew, a cooking talk show hosted by Mario Batali, Clinton Kelly, Carla Hall, Michael Symon and Daphne Oz. When One Life to Live ends its run in January of 2012 it will be replaced by The Revolution, a show about health and lifestyle transformations featuring Tim Gunn and Kimberly Locke.

Readers and listeners have been calling the Daytime Confidential Hotline with their reaction to the cancellation news. We’ve included some of those messages on this podcast, while the remaining calls will be attached to future podcasts. This is truly the end of an era.
