Published: Nov. 20, 2009, 4 a.m.

b'On today\\u2019s ABC episode of the Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Regan and Eye on Soaps\\u2019 Belinda (The View From the Recliner\\u2019s Edge) discuss the latest storylines and news for the week of November 9, including: \\n\\nMore fan favorites return to All My Children for the 40th Anniversary. Julia Barr, Eden Riegel, Eva La Rue, Leven Rambin and more are set to return. The question becomes, can Chuck Pratt whip AMC into shape so that lapsed fans who tune in will have reason to stick around? Is there someone missing from the line up of returnees who you want to return? BethAnn Bonner makes her Pine Valley debut. Is it hard to watch and believe the Zach and Kendall storyline knowing that Thorsten Kaye isn\\u2019t making the move to L.A.? Annie pretends to fake the loss of a baby only to find out she\\u2019s actually pregnant. How original. \\n\\nChad Brannon is returning to General Hospital for one episode. Luke is sick of the smug, spoiled Michael Corinthos III, but Regan loves this Michael. What do you think of him? Jonathan Jackson has had some time to settle back into the role of Lucky, but Regan isn\\u2019t sure she\\u2019s liking this version of Lucky. Hear her explain why. Is Dante\\u2019s secret identity the worst kept secret in town or would that be Jake\\u2019s paternity? Everyone and their mother seems to know\\u2013or will soon find out\\u2013who he really is. \\n\\nBass ass Mitch Laurence has returned to shake up the citizens of Llanview\\u2019s lives. Were Jessica and Natalie\\u2019s reaction to over-the-top? The DC crew was disappointed with how the revelation that Mitch is Rex\\u2019s father played out. Couldn\\u2019t it have waited until Rex returned to Llanview so that we could see more people\\u2019s reaction all at once? Marcy gave birth to her miracle baby in a dramatic scene, but we\\u2019re happy she finally has a child.\\n\\nAll this and much more on today\\u2019s show!'
