DC #554: SOAPnet's Demise and the Daytime Emmy Nominations

On today's super-sized Daytime Confidential episode Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan react to Disney's shocking decision to axe SOAPnet in favor of Disney Jr. What does this mean for the three ABC soaps and specifically One Life to Live? How will it impact Days of our Lives and The Young and the Restless now that a revenue stream is drying up? Jamey reveals what multiple industry insiders are telling him about the true state of soaps and how much time the genre really has. The DC gang then dives into all the 2010 Daytime Emmy Nominations and react to some of the–dare we say it–"shocking" omissions. Find out which actors they think did and didn't deserve to be nominated and listen as they discuss the Outstanding Drama nominations. Then it is off to General Hospital's Pentonville to discuss whether or not Michael (Chad Duell) was actually raped and where this controversial storyline is headed. With the Sopranos off the air it seems Guza must be rewatching the entire series of Oz, but does he know his audience? ABC told One Life to Live fans that the reason Kish was scrapped was because it didn't appeal to Middle America. Does Guza think that prison rape does? Finally, Jamey has the latest on David Hasselhoff's return to The Young and the Restless as Snapper and drops a juicy spoiler about how it will impact Jill (Jess Walton). Can you guess which Genoa City resident she's related to? Find out in this episode of Daytime Confidential.
