Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Fox has a megahit on its hands with the primetime soap Empire. Over on OWN, Tyler Perry’s The Haves & Have Nots has better ratings than anything else Oprah’s network has aired. These primetime soaps are redefining the word “diversity” while also telling strong, character-driven stories... so why has daytime failed so miserably on this front? Will the success of these shows and others bring about some much-needed change where the soaps...

Over the past few years, many have insisted that the soap genre is dying. And while it's taken more than its share of hard knocks, could there be a renasaince on the horizon? As unlikely as it seems at the moment, there are lessons to be learned all around the daytime dial. GENERAL HOSPITAL has, under executive producer Frank Valentini and headwriter Ron Carlivati, been bringing in a show that is under budget and keeping viewers on the edge of their seats by keeping secrets under wraps.

Now, Robin is set to return to Port Charles... and as one might expect, she's bringing a bit of...

This week, we’re talking about controversies, confrontations and cheap (looking) stunts. DAYS OF OUR LIVES gave us the long-awaited, awesome-as-hoped-for scenes in which Sami finally confronted Abby and EJ, and Alison Sweeney did some of the best work of her career as a result. But DAYS also gave us the long-awaited, much-discussed and, ultimately, kinda sad charity event which boiled down to Marlena cracking jokes on TV while Aiden and Hope danced in a storage closet. Over on THE BOLD &...

Long after folks have stopped talking about which actors and actresses walked away with Daytime Emmys, this year’s Web-only telecast will be remembered for the red carpet show. Thanks to four "social media gurus" who knew nothing about those being honored, the red carpet devolved into an embarassing, controversial mess. Soaps In Depth’s executive editor, Richard M.
