Our Editor's Take

Daytime Confidential is a podcast for fans of soap operas. Listeners can get their daytime drama needs met here. Fans may find plenty of fun and laughter with these opinionated hosts. They should be aware of spoilers, though.

Daytime Confidential covers the biggest daytime soap stars. Podcast listeners can hear about The Bold and the Beautiful, The Young and the Restless, Days of Our Lives, and General Hospital. True, soap opera storylines can be ridiculous. But there are those who do relate to soap characters. This is one of the reasons why these shows run for as long as they do.

Podcasts like this one get to talk about them all the time as well.

Each podcast episode has plenty of funny observations and comments from the hosts. Luke Kerr, Joshua Baldwin, and Jillian Bowe lead the charge, but others like Mike Jubinville join in for the fun too. With over 1,000 episodes to its name, there's plenty of drama to love with Daytime Confidential. This is convenient to audiences because each episode is enjoyable on its own.

The witty banter among the cohosts gives listeners an even funnier discussion. Listeners may have some strong opinions about certain soap characters. The hosts do too! That's why they spend their time watching each daytime soap episode as much as they do.

They do it in the name of service too. Who else would do a recap of daytime recaps but them? Listeners can check out their pics for the Best Daytime Drama and the Worst Daytime Drama. They've also done the impossible by naming a Best Scene, Worst Scene Guy, and Worst Storyline.

They also explore the Daytime Emmy nominations. Each one of the hosts has an opinion about the Daytime Emmy Awards.

Daytime Confidential dares to go where typical daytime talk shows don't. The podcast's conversations are as bold as any credible recap could be for beloved daytime soaps.

Jack Without the Coke
On episode 1117 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr, Joshua Baldwin and Melodie Aikels dish the latest The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, General Hospital and The Young and the Restless headlines and storylines, including: Ashleigh Brewer returns to The Bold and the Beautiful. Why is Thomas obsessed with marrying Hope? Is the Zende and Luna consent storyline offensive? The Christening dominated Days of Our Lives last week. Holly finally admits the truth. Does Eric make empathy sexy again?  General Hospital fires its sole Black breakdown writer, Shannon Peace. Valentin is revealed to be the Pikeman boss. What is his motives? Are we finally getting the sinister Valentin we were promised years and years ago? Why does Anna think Dex becoming a cop will save him. GH seems to moving a bunch of mob and police/fbi characters into place for what could be a ramped-up mob emphasis. What is Ava up to? Jordan escapes, again, on The Young and the Restless. The writing for Phyllis just isn't working. Why is she acting like a teenager? The Cricket/Danny/Phyllis storyline is a dud. Putting Phyllis back in Jack and Diane's orbit might be just as bad. What exactly is Nick doing these days? Where is Sharon? How do you fix a character like Kyle? Could they have made Lily's return storyline juicer? Ashley's storyline makes zero sense, but Eileen Davidson is making the storyline watchable.  All this and more on the latest Daytime Confidential podcast!
