Great podcast! I adore Michael Logan. His interviews are always great. He is one of a few who really asks the important stuff. Thanks for having him on. Very good episode.
LMAO when you guys were mentioning Brenda Dickson.

Can't wait to listen to this podcast. This August has probably been the craziest month in the history of soaps, from passive-aggressive homophobic tweets to big-name firings, hires, resignations, and the braying of an old goat named Braeden.

Passionesque on GH? And that is why I referred to Ron C. as James E. Reilly Jr. Oh lord! Here we go again! BLAH...

GH used to have outlandish stuff very early on. Mikkos Cassadine freezing the world with his weather machine and all the spy stories. Not to mention all the Cassadine storylines. Stavros returning from the death in the early 2000s...
So I'm going to wait and judge after I actually see what RC has planned.

@soapjunkie88: I remember a bit. I was too little of a tyke when that stuff was happening. It has never been my taste. I'm of a Agnes/Bill style of soap lover. Can't get too far out there or it turns into a farce. But I didn't like much of the stuff RC did on OLTL. So it will truly be a wait-and-see.

HA!HA! I always thought he was a little old for the part he was playing!
Surprised he doesn't have denture creme and other assorted powders and potions on his desk in his office.
Perhaps Sharon will have him put in a "home for aged business moguls" when he finally reappears
