4.5 out of 5 stars from 525 ratings
  • No GH Allowed

    It’s CBS plus Days. A minute to GH and a million minutes on Days. Then a few minutes to complain about Bold and YR. Then a lot on BTG. So it should be called All but GH Confidential.

    They are funny and Gillian obviously is friends with all of them so everyone should just accept their friend group dynamic.

    I’ve been listening to the podcast since 2008. Always a great listen. However I’m disappointed with all the time between episodes. We used to get the show weekly, but we haven’t had a regular recap episode in months. I understand the hosts have lives, but an update about when we can expect new spades would be nice. I hope you guts come back soon.

  • They only like one show

    They used to be more balanced in reviewing and talking about all shows. Luke lives in the 1980s and refuses to be fair about show storylines growing and changing. Jillian always appears to be angry about something. She is sometimes quite rude to the other show hosts. They trash all other shows except for Days Of Our Lives. It used to be fun to listen to the show. Now all we get is Days is the only good show. For the record Days has one of the weakest casts out there. The "storylines" are th... more
