Hold on to your soap dishes! On this very special episode of the Daytime \nConfidential podcast we discuss the winners of the 2009 Soap Opera Spirit \nAwards. Luke and Jamey are on hand to announce the categories, while TV Guide \nCanada's Nelson Branco reveals the winners, as well as the science behind why \neach was chosen. As if this wasn't reason enough to tune in, for the first time \nin DC history, both of the driving forces behind our favorite web series \nImaginary Bitches, Eden Riegel (Bianca, All My Children) and her husband, series \ncreator Andrew Miller are here together. You don't wanna miss the explosive \nconfrontation between Emmy-winner Eden and Jamey when it's announced who wins \nthe SOS for Outstanding Performer in a Podcast/Webisode/Soap-Related Series. \nThere's nothing imaginary about it, these two get down right bitchy! \n

"What did she do beside talk to herself?" Jamey asks in a \nhuff.

"Thank you Jamey for sucking just enough for me to squeeze \nthrough!" Eden blasts back.

Andrew shares how many takes it took for his \npal Greg Rikaart (Kevin, The Young and the Restless) to get the memorable m \nasturbation scene for his SOS-nominated IB guest stint down pat. Is Greg a \nmethod actor?

Eden is thrilled when two of her leading ladies, Elizabeth \nHendrickson (ex-Frankie/Maggie, AMC; Chloe; Y&R Liz, IB) and Tamara Braun, \naka Jamey's pick for the best Carly Corinthos EVER!! (Oh yeah, and she now plays \nReese on AMC) are both presented SOS awards, but which one thrills Eden more? \nShould Andrew be worried? More important, should BAM fans spearhead a Rianca \nKiss Ban?

Later in the episode, Eden speaks poignantly about All My \nChildren and One Life to Live creator Agnes Nixon when she accepts the Irna \nPhillips Spirit Award For Outstanding Contribution To The Serial Art Form on \nbehalf of the television legend. She also relays fond memories of the late \nEileen Herlie, whose Myrtle Fairgate served as a surrogate grandmother to Binks \nand the rest of Pine Valley\u2014except for Luke's beloved Greenlee (Rebecca \nBudig).

Nelson himself speaks on behalf of the late Beverlee McKinsey \n(Iris, Another World/Texas; Alexandra, Guiding Light) whom TVG Canada awarded \none of two Douglas Marland Memorial Awards. The other accolade went to the late \nJames E. Reilly (legendary head writer of Days of Our Lives and creator of \nPassions). Canada's biggest cheerleader (Yeah, yeah, yeah we get it, their syrup \nis better than ours and they produced Jennifer Finigan, big whoop! We lay claim \nto Britney Spears bitches... real and imagined!) asks Jamey to talk about the \nprolific writer's impact on the genre. This episode is a Must-Hear for soap fans \nyoung and old.
