NGE Soaps Presents: Mother May I...

Next Generation Entertainment Soaps Presents: Mother… May I? This past Monday, the Next Generation Entertainment Soaps family gathered around the daytime television dinner table for a celebration of the mothers who nurtured us, terrified us, manipulated us, protected us and occasionally buried people alive in daytime television history. Join Anthony, David, Ashley, Carolyn, Candice and Sue Ellen as they laugh, debate, reminisce and completely spiral into the world of soap opera motherhood across generations of daytime drama. Anthony brought elegance, warmth and a little glorious insanity to the conversation while highlighting beloved matriarch Lila Quartermaine from General Hospital, then pivoting directly into the velvet chaos of Irene Manning from One Life to Live and the delightfully outrageous Vivian Alamain from Days of Our Lives. Sue Ellen stepped into Genoa City with one of daytime’s most beloved mother figures, Katherine Chancellor from The Young and the Restless, exploring how maternal love sometimes arrives wrapped in champagne, razor sharp wit and emotional redemption. Carolyn dove headfirst into powerhouse women like Lucinda Walsh from As the World Turns, examining the mothers who bulldozed through life with style, ambition and just enough emotional damage to fuel decades of unforgettable storylines. Ashley brought the heart of daytime into focus with beloved mothers like Alice Horton from Days of Our Lives, Nancy Hughes from As the World Turns and Bert Bauer from Guiding Light, the women who reminded audiences what unconditional love and quiet strength looked like in worlds constantly exploding with secrets. David tackled the emotional gray areas of motherhood with women like Erica Kane from All My Children, Stephanie Forrester from The Bold and the Beautiful and Sami Brady from Days of Our Lives, mothers who loved fiercely even while leaving emotional debris fields behind them. Candice led the panel through some of the most unforgettable mother centered storylines in daytime history, including BJ’s heartbreaking heart transplant story on General Hospital, Erica Kane and Bianca’s groundbreaking emotional journey on All My Children, Marlena’s possession and family fallout on Days of Our Lives, the complicated Katherine Chancellor and Jill Abbott relationship on The Young and the Restless and the emotional motherhood stories surrounding Caroline Spencer on The Bold and the Beautiful. And of course, the conversation did not stop there. The crew also counted down: The craziest mothers in soap history including Helena Cassadine, Jill Abbott, Lisa Grimaldi, Sheila Carter and Tracy Quartermaine. The greatest non biological mothers including Marlena Evans, Reva Shayne, Alexis Davis and Caroline Spencer. The most beloved maternal figures across generations of daytime television. And the wildest soap moms to ever storm into a living room carrying secrets, martinis and enough emotional baggage to sink an entire cruise ship. Then after all the mama drama settled, the conversation rolled directly into the weekly soap dish featuring: Recaps Spoilers Speculation Predictions Fan theories And those wonderfully wild conversations that somehow only make sense in the soap universe. Things are heating up all across daytime television and trust us, there was a lot to unpack. So grab your coffee, your wine, your tissues or your most dramatic soap opera glare and come hang with the Next Generation Entertainment Soaps crew for another unforgettable evening of laughter, nostalgia, chaos and classic daytime drama.

I Feel So Free a Bonus tribute and announcement Mini Podcast

I Feel So Free A Sunday Edition Bonus Homage and Some Fashionable Announcements The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services proudly presents a special bonus episode that slips somewhere between a dance floor confession, a karaoke fever dream and a love letter to the Queen of Pop herself. In this special release, Anthony Corona steps behind the microphone for a heartfelt homage to Madonna with his own spirited interpretation of I Feel So Free, the promotional single from the upcoming album Confessions on the Dance Floor Part 2. This is not simply karaoke. This is karaoke plus. A little theatrical. A little nostalgic. A little sweaty disco ball magic at 2 AM. Featuring additional remixing, atmospheric textures, layered vocals and playful surprises by Anthony’s friend Holly Anderson, the performance blends classic Madonna inspiration with Anthony’s own storytelling energy and dramatic flair. The track pulses with echoes of Into the Groove, the hypnotic heartbeat of Donna Summer’s I Feel Love and the fearless release of a crowded dance floor where strangers become family for one glitter soaked evening. At its core, the song becomes a celebration of identity, freedom, joy and the healing power of music. It is about safety in numbers. It is about chosen family. It is about surviving the world outside long enough to lose yourself inside the rhythm for a little while. Part homage. Part remix. Part performance art. Part late night living room dance party with the furniture pushed dangerously too close to the walls. This bonus episode also shines a light on the growing Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media projects. Listeners can explore all Sunday Edition programming, special events and streaming content anytime at: www.anthonycorona.com [http://www.anthonycorona.com/] Simply click the Corona FM tab to listen live 24 hours a day. We also spotlight our Intimate Evening series, happening the first Monday of every month at 8 PM Eastern on Corona FM and 2020 The Beacon. Recent highlights include the beautiful and soul stirring conversation with Annie Donnellon whose stories, humor and music reminded us all that vulnerability can sometimes sing louder than perfection. Listeners are also encouraged to check out Apple Batter Up by Cheryl McNeil Fisher now available in the Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona podcast feed. And of course, do not forget Behind the Music, Your Song, Your Story, happening live every second and fourth Friday night where performers, storytellers and music lovers gather to share songs, laughter, memories and moments that matter. If you would like to participate in future broadcasts, submit music or connect with the Sunday Edition family, please see the contact information in the show notes. Until then, turn the lights low. Turn the music loud. And somewhere between the beat, the memories and the imaginary disco lights spinning across the ceiling, allow yourself a moment to remember what freedom sounds like. What freedom feels like. And maybe even dance a little. #SundayEdition #IFeelSoFree #Madonna #ConfessionsOnTheDanceFloor #QueenOfPop #CoronaFM #2020TheBeacon #BehindTheMusic #DanceFloorEnergy #MusicAndMemory #PodcastCommunity #AnthonyCorona #DiscoSoul #ChosenFamily #FeelSoFree PISODE NOTES Notes go here Support Next Generation Entertainment Soaps by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps [https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps] This podcast is powered by Pinecast [https://pinecast.com].

NGE Soaps Remembering Santa Barbara and A Hot new Plot Twist

Next Generation Entertainment Soaps: Remembering Santa Barbara and Celebrating a Powerful New Plot Twist Tonight, we are celebrating a true convergence of daytime drama history and bold new storytelling. We were honored to sit down with two remarkable figures whose work helped define and elevate the world of soap opera as we know it. Jerome Dobson, the creative force behind Santa Barbara, joins us to share incredible memories from his time shaping some of the most iconic shows in television history, including General Hospital, Another World, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light. He takes us behind the scenes of a genre he helped transform with sharper dialogue, richer characters, and fearless storytelling. Lane Davies, forever remembered as the unforgettable Mason Capwell, brings his own powerful reflections on Santa Barbara, his time as Travis Montgomery on All My Children, and his journey through both daytime and primetime television. He shares stories filled with heart, humor, and the kind of depth that made his performances truly stand apart. Together, they reunite in a full circle moment for the world premiere of Plot Twist, a brand new play written by Jerome Dobson and directed by Lane Davies, debuting this month in Atlanta. Presented by the Conasauga Shakespeare Coalition in association with Dobson Productions, this new work promises layered characters, unexpected turns, and the kind of storytelling that keeps you leaning forward, waiting for what happens next. And trust us, these two are candid, open, and funny as hell. #NextGenSoaps #SantaBarbara #PlotTwist #DaytimeDrama #SoapOpera #GeneralHospital #YR #BoldAndBeautiful #DaysOfOurLives #BeyondTheGates #SoapFans #Podcast PISODE NOTES Notes go here Support Next Generation Entertainment Soaps by contributing to their tip jar: https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps [https://tips.pinecast.com/jar/nge-soaps] This podcast is powered by Pinecast [https://pinecast.com].
