    NGE Soaps WHo's Kid is this Anyway?

    Next Generation Entertainment Soaps Who’s Kid is this Anyway This week we are opening the doors to one of daytime televisions favorite closets. You know the one. The closet where apparently every soap family has been hiding a fully grown child nobody knew existed. 🤩 Long lost children. Secret children. Children believed dead. Children given away. Children whose parents never knew they existed. And children who walk into town already knowing exactly who Mom or Dad is and carrying enough resentment to power an entire sweeps period. We are looking back at some of the greatest surprise children and family revelations in soap history. Anthony takes us to Port Charles and Carly Roberts arrival as the daughter Bobbie Spencer had given up for adoption. Carly knew exactly who Bobbie was. Bobbie had absolutely no idea Carly was her daughter. And Carly certainly did not come to town looking for a quiet mother daughter reunion. David heads to Pine Valley for Erica Kanes complicated history with Kendall Hart and one of the most controversial retcons in daytime history, Josh Madden. For decades, Ericas abortion was one of daytime televisions most significant stories. Then All My Children revealed that the abortion supposedly never happened and that Dr. Greg Madden had secretly transferred the fetus, resulting in Erica and Jeff Martins grown son Josh. Brilliant soap insanity or an unforgivable rewrite of television history? We have thoughts. Candice takes us to Genoa City for Claire Grace, the daughter Victoria Newman and Cole Howard believed they had lost decades earlier, and Mariah Copeland, who turned out to be more than a woman who looked exactly like Cassie. She was Cassies twin. And Sharons daughter. Because apparently even childbirth in Genoa City can come with missing paperwork. 🤩 Ashley takes us back to Springfield and Reva Shaynes surprise sons Dylan Lewis and Jonathan Randall. If you remember Tom Pelphreys Jonathan, you already know that particular family reunion did not arrive quietly. Sue heads to Llanview, where the Buchanan and Lord family trees practically required their own cartographers. Natalie. Jessica. Todd. Victor. Rex. Twins, secret parentage, switched identities and enough DNA revelations to keep Llanview laboratories operating around the clock. We also visit Bay City for Mac Corys surprise children Sandy Alexander and Paulina Cantrell, along with one of our favorite variations on the story. Lorna Devon and Felicia Gallant. Imagine discovering that the young woman who has become your enemy is actually your biological daughter. That is daytime television doing what daytime television does best. And of course Santa Barbara joined the family reunion. Cassandra Benedict was revealed as Minx Lockridges daughter, while Brick Wallace was eventually revealed as the biological son of Sophia Capwell and Lionel Lockridge after a baby switch. Because naturally there was a baby switch. It was Santa Barbara. 🤩 We bring the conversation back to todays soaps with Cody Bell and Mac Scorpio on General Hospital, Stefan DiMera and Stefano on Days of Our Lives, and the later revelation that Xander Cook Kiriakis was actually Victor Kiriakis son. But the bigger conversation is why these stories work. When does a long lost child deepen what we already know about a beloved character? When does a surprise relative become a brilliant revelation? When does it become a retcon? And when does rewriting history go too far? Which surprise child shocked you most? Which one did you love? Which one made absolutely no sense? And which current soap character probably has a fully grown child somewhere just waiting to walk through the door? After our roundtable, Anthony, David, Candice, Ashley, Sue and the Next Generation Entertainment Soaps crew turn to everything happening right now across daytime. The recaps. The breaking news. The casting shakeups. The returns. The exits. The spoilers. The stories making us cheer. The stories making us yell at our televisions. And of course the fan theories that sound completely ridiculous right up until the soaps prove us right. 🤩 You can find Next Generation Entertainment Soaps wherever you listen to podcasts. And join us on the Next Generation Entertainment Facebook page for soap news, original writings, fan interactions, conversations, and our in depth character and storyline breakdowns. You can also find Next Generation Entertainment Soaps at the home of the Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media content services. www.anthonycorona.com And if you have not listened yet, our recent conversations with John Lindstrom and Vincent Irizarry are waiting for you in the podcast feed. We also have a fabulous new interview coming in two weeks with someone who is currently getting quite a bit of attention on General Hospital. We are keeping that name tucked safely inside the soap opera vault for just a little longer. 🤩 Come for the long lost children. Stay for the secrets. Because in soaps, nobody is ever really gone, nobody is necessarily who they think they are, and somewhere out there somebody probably has a DNA test waiting to ruin Thanksgiving. And if you enjoy our conversations, interviews, writings and shows, please consider dropping a few coins into our tip jar. Every little bit helps us continue creating independent content for the soap community we love. #NextGenerationEntertainment #NextGenerationEntertainmentSoaps #SoapOperas #DaytimeTV #SoapFans #GeneralHospital #GH #DaysOfOurLives #DOOL #YoungAndTheRestless #YR #BoldAndBeautiful #AllMyChildren #OneLifeToLive #GuidingLight #AsTheWorldTurns #AnotherWorld #SantaBarbara #SoapHistory #DaytimeDrama #LongLostChildren #SoapSpoilers #CastingNews #FanTheories pisode Notes Notes go here Support Next Generation Entertainment Soaps by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps Send us your feedback online: https://pinecast.com/feedback/nge-soaps/94279c53-676f-446e-8fdd-db6f4c89da23 This podcast is powered by Pinecast.

    An Evening with Jon Lindstrom and our Emmy Conversation

    Next Generation Entertainment Soaps. An Evening with Jon Lindstrom and Our Emmy Conversation  The podcast version of our live broadcast is now available wherever you enjoy your favorite podcasts. This week, we welcomed one of daytime television's most beloved storytellers. Actor. Author. Director. Producer. And one of the nicest people you could ever hope to spend an evening with. John Lindstrom joined us for a conversation filled with laughter, incredible memories, behind the scenes stories, and a genuine love for the art of daytime drama. We began by congratulating this year's Daytime Emmy nominees and winners before turning our attention to one of the biggest stories of the season. Beyond the Gates earning an extraordinary 15 Emmy nominations in its very first year. John shared his thoughts on what that recognition means for the cast, the creative team, and daytime television as a whole. From there, we took a journey through an amazing career that has spanned decades. John reflected on his time across Santa Barbara, As the World Turns, General Hospital, Port Charles, and now Beyond the Gates. He shared stories about lifelong friendships, unforgettable moments on set, and why playing Joey has become one of the most enjoyable experiences of his career. Of course, we could not resist asking one of our favorite questions. Who were John's favorite on screen kissers. His answer. Everyone. A diplomatic answer. Maybe. A true answer. Absolutely. The stories behind it made for one of the funniest moments of the night. John also took us back to the groundbreaking days of Port Charles and the creative risks that series embraced long before many others were willing to do the same. We laughed about Kevin and Mac dressing in drag with John J. York and revisited some of the wonderfully unpredictable storytelling that made Port Charles such a fan favorite. Beyond acting, we explored John's incredible work as an author. He discussed his Hollywood series of novels, including his newest release, Hollywood Payback, the creative process behind building that universe, and even gave us a glimpse into what readers can look forward to next. In our second hour, the conversation shifted to this year's Daytime Emmy Awards. Our panel broke down the nominations, celebrated the winners, debated the biggest surprises, discussed a few performances we felt deserved more recognition, and pulled back the curtain on how the Emmy submission process really works. We also explored what separates a good acting reel from a great one and made our predictions for who we believe could emerge as this year's winners and dark horse contenders. As always, the conversation was thoughtful, passionate, and just plain fun. A huge thank you to John Lindstrom for spending the evening with us and for reminding us why he has remained one of daytime's most respected performers for so many years. Thank you to David Salvagni, Candice Mack, Ashley Morgan, Sue ellen Mellow, and Carolyn Jansen for another fantastic night of conversation.

    Celebrating 50 Years of Marlena and Sizzling Summer Recaps and Previews

    Tonight on Next Generation Entertainment Soaps. Fifty Years of Marlena and a Summer of Secrets Tonight, we are celebrating a true daytime television icon. 🎭❤️ For fifty years, Deidre Hall has brought Dr. Marlena Evans to life on Days of Our Lives, creating one of the most beloved and enduring characters in television history. At the top of tonight’s show, Anthony and co hosts David, Candice, Ashley, Sue Allen, and Carolyn will take a look back at the extraordinary life and legacy of Marlena Evans. From her unforgettable romance with Roman Brady and her epic love story with John Black, to her battles with Stefano DiMera and Kristen DiMera, Marlena has truly done it all. We will revisit some of the character’s most memorable moments, including possession by the devil, the Salem Serial Killer mystery, countless kidnappings and presumed deaths, and her evolution as a mother, grandmother, psychiatrist, wife, friend, and the emotional heart of Salem. Then it is time to turn our attention to all five of our favorite daytime dramas as every show is turning up the heat for a sizzling summer. ☀️🔥 On The Young and the Restless, Jack and Diane continue to navigate new challenges while the fallout from Victor’s latest power plays continues to ripple through Genoa City. Phyllis remains a wildcard, business battles are escalating, and alliances seem to be shifting by the day. David says, “The thing I love about The Young and the Restless right now is that nobody feels completely safe. Every conversation feels like it could become a corporate war or a family disaster.” On The Bold and the Beautiful, the battle lines between Katie and Brooke continue to be drawn. Meanwhile, RJ, Electra, and Dylan find themselves caught up in romance, family expectations, and enough drama to keep Los Angeles buzzing. Candice notes, “The Bold and the Beautiful is doing what it does best. Family feuds, complicated romances, and characters making decisions that are guaranteed to have consequences.” Beyond the Gates continues to prove why it is daytime’s hottest new address. The fallout from the devastating tornado continues to impact everyone in Fairmont Crest. Questions remain everywhere you turn. Will Ashley choose Andre or Derek? And perhaps the bigger question. Whose bed will Danny end up making tomorrow? 😄 Ashley laughs, “Every time I think I know where Beyond the Gates is headed, the writers pull the rug out from under me. I absolutely love it.” On Days of Our Lives, Lexie may be living on borrowed time, and the chessboard is once again being arranged for new moves using a very familiar playbook. Salem is never short on danger, and with DiMera intrigue lurking around nearly every corner, nobody should get too comfortable. Sue Allen says, “Days feels like classic Salem right now. Family secrets, DiMera scheming, impossible choices, and just enough danger to keep everyone looking over their shoulder.” And then there is General Hospital. Port Charles is preparing for the long awaited return of Anna Devane, portrayed by the incomparable Finola Hughes. Tensions continue to rise inside the Port Charles Police Department. Tracy, Chase, Willow, Michael, and a growing list of others appear destined for collision courses. And of course, Sidwell remains as slimy and dangerous as ever, continuing to slither through Port Charles causing trouble wherever he goes. 🐍 Anthony says, “I am absolutely on the edge of my seat waiting for Anna’s return. Between the tension at the PCPD, the fallout among Willow, Michael, Tracy, and Chase, and Sidwell continuing to stir the pot, Port Charles feels ready to explode.” Every soap is bringing the drama. Every family is hiding secrets. Every couple faces impossible choices. And we cannot wait to break it all down with you.

    Sweeping Up May: THe Villans, The Crazies, The stories we Love or Love to Hate

    Next Generation Entertainment Soaps Hosted by Anthony Corona, founder of the Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services, along with cohosts Candice, David, Ashley, Sue Ellen, and Mama Bear Pam. This week, the gang gathered once again for a lively, passionate, and often hilarious deep dive into the latest happenings across the daytime drama landscape. From the glamour and intrigue of Beyond the Gates to the twists and turns of The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of Our Lives, and General Hospital, no storyline was safe from discussion, debate, celebration, or good natured soap fan scrutiny. We explored the fallout from major sweeps storylines, including shocking revelations, family betrayals, long simmering rivalries, and enough drama to keep viewers talking for months to come. From elegant cotillions to medically resurrected beloved family members, we tackled the moments that had fans cheering, questioning reality, and occasionally yelling at their televisions. The conversation also examined the ever evolving world of daytime villains, from truly dangerous bad actors to those claiming redemption, and perhaps only pretending to have turned over a new leaf. Along the way, we discussed family feuds, power struggles, romantic entanglements, fashion triumphs, fashion disasters, and rivalries that continue to define some of daytime television’s most iconic characters. Of course, no soap discussion would be complete without fake twins, improbable car accidents, questionable medical miracles, and storylines that somehow make absolutely no sense while remaining endlessly entertaining. As always, the panel shared favorite moments, biggest disappointments, unexpected surprises, fan theories, wish list storylines, and plenty of laughs as they recapped another exciting week in daytime television. Whether you agree with our takes or have theories of your own, this episode is packed with the passion, humor, and spirited conversation that soap fans have come to expect from Next Generation Entertainment Soaps. pisode Notes Notes go here Support Next Generation Entertainment Soaps by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps This podcast is powered by Pinecast.
