Published: Aug. 5, 2009, 6:27 p.m.

On today\u2019s ABC episode of Daytime Confidential Luke, Jamey and J Bernard discuss the latest in All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital news and storylines, including:\n\n\n\n

All My Children picking up roots and moving to LA. In this episode, recorded before ABC confirmed Jamey\u2019s report on Tuesday, Jamey predicts that the announcement would happen this week and discusses in depth what he is hearing from his sources. He discusses the impact this shakeup will have on AMC\u2019s veteran actors, where this leaves One Life to Live as ABC\u2019s only New York soap and why General Hospital gets a pass because of it being the \u201cLuke and Laura soap.\u201d Is ABC\u2019s solution only a band-aid until they can develop a talk show?\n\n\n\n

J Bernard shares his theory about the Who Killed Adam storyline and why he believes everything isn\u2019t as it seems.\n\n\n\n

General Hospital re-signed popular actors Steve Burton and Leslie Charleson, keeping them on canvas. Is Drew Garrett the next Tom Pelphrey or Steve Burton and could he surpass them? GH needs to cast Michael a love interest ASAP and do whatever it takes to avoid a pairing him with his sister Kristina. Luke sees chemistry between Lulu and Dante, but J Bernard doesn\u2019t. What does it say about GH that it takes two of Luke\u2019s sons to beat up the son of Sonny Corinthos? Is Alexis covering up Kristina\u2019s involvement in Claudia\u2019s car crash out of character or is it right in line with the Alexis we know and love? Martha Byrne is a great actress, but Jamey believes needs to be on As the World Turns and not a one note Port Charles villain. \n\n\n\n

One Life to Live was gearing up for the double wedding as Matthew blackmails Bo and Nora. Matthew seems to be channeling his grandfather Asa. Should OLTL turn Matthew into this generation\u2019s Asa? The Tea, Todd and Blaire triangle has Luke and Jamey on opposing sides. Luke wants Tea with Todd while Jamey wants him with his Blair. If Crystal Hunt could act and didn\u2019t appear bored with the role, Stacy Morasco could be a \u201chellified\u201d role. Jamey believes OLTL should set up a Who Killed Stacy Morasco murder mystery since there are already more than enough possible suspects. It could be a blockbuster story.
