Podcast S2 EP2: Week In Soaps – Who’s Writing This?

A new episode of the TV Source podcast is out! In the latest Week in Soaps issue, we run down tidbits from our candid interview with former Bold and the Beautiful star Jacob Young, Y&R’s Lily goes to jail (like we said), question GH’s sudden Oscar illness and the return for Ryan Chamberlain, and end it with DAYS talk as John copes with Marlena and Paul fighting for their lives, Kristen going HAM and #WhiteGayNonsense with Will & Sonny.

Episode Taped: September 9, 2018

• Hot Topics (01:30): Jacob Young exposes the reason why he’s not on The Bold and the Beautiful; Our approach to conducting interviews and why we’re over the fluff pieces; why we held off on posting the story about Christel Khalil going on recurring at Y&R; The drama over Stephen Nichols disappearing from DAYS; and more tea is brewing at Y&R. Are we gonna spill? Not yet…but soon.
• The Young and the Restless (29:40): Summer’s sexual harassment of Billy has crossed the line into disgusting territory. If the roles were reversed, Billy would be blasted for not taking no for an answer. Why isn’t Summer? Considering the drama at CBS corporate, maybe this shouldn’t have been greenlighted? Is Mal Young still the right fit for Y&R? Debate ensues.
• General Hospital (42:35): Everyone’s least favorite Port Charles teenager Oscar suddenly has an illness he’s apparently had this whole time. Girl, why? Is this a topical storyline or just a prop for Drew and Kim? Nothing about this makes sense. Speaking of not making sense, what on GH does make sense at this point? Why is Ryan Chamberlain back? Why does Margaux have Drew’s memories  a flashdrive? Why has Jason not get his glock wet since returning to town? Why is Sam not interacting with any of her men? Why is anything, anything on this show? Woo, child, a vent session is coming. Also the cult of personality is ruining #GHSoapTwitter.
• Days of our Lives (1:03:50): Marlena’s kids are at war as she fights for her life! Have we picked sides? Sonny’s constant pressure on Will brings them together, but now what? Will’s on the list for some of our hosts as this #WhiteGayNonsense begins to take form. Also: Kristen and Stefan meet for the first time; and #FallInLovewithElani begins!
