On today\\u2019s Daytime Confidential podcast Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan discuss the latest in All My Children, As the World Turns, The Bold and the Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital, One Life to Live and The Young and the Restless storylines and news, including:

\\n

Vincent Irizarry\\u2019s contract status at All My Children and the Who Killed David Hayward murder mystery that had David laid out on a morgue slab. Can\\u2019t get enough of JR and Annie? Well expect them in even more story, but with that comes more air time for Scott and Marissa. Jamey has a Wishful Casting replacement for Marissa that should make DC\\u2019s Mel happy. What is Asher up to and who is his father?

\\n

As the World Turns killed of Reid and gave his heart to Chris Hughes. Does this mean that Noah ends up winning Luke by default? John Dixon\\u2019s return to Oakdale and his ripping into Lucinda provided some wonderful scenes between Larry Bryggman and Elizabeth Hubbard. Will the DC gang be watching ATWT\\u2019s replacement The Talk when it premieres?

\\n

Owen delivers Bridget\\u2019s baby on The Bold and the Beautiful. Does anyone else think Jackie is headed for a breakdown and kidnapping storyline? Rick kissing Jackie came out of left field. Where is that plot point headed? The father/son story of Bill and Liam continues to be B&B\\u2019s best story as Scott Clifton and Don Diamont go toe-to-toe.

\\n

What is happening to Days of our Lives once delicious villain Vivian? Dena Higley has let it be known she\\u2019s writing DAYS, but its ratings are down. Where did her shiny ball go that had kept her occupied? Jennifer returns to Salem to facilitate Bo and Hope\\u2019s reunion.

\\n

General Hospital\\u2019s Brenda and Sonny finally reunite, but is Regan happy with how this storyline is playing out? All this talk of Brenda has given Sam and Carly a lot to worry and each is handling it differently. What will these two do when Brenda arrives back in Port Charles? Robin punches the psycho Lisa and lets Patrick know it isn\\u2019t about him, it\\u2019s about their daughter. Wouldn\\u2019t it have been nice if Anna or Robert had been the one to get Lucky to go under cover?

\\n

One Life to Live put out a casting call for Joey Buchanan. Luke suggests ATWT\\u2019s Eric Sheffer Stevens while Jamey thinks ATWT\\u2019s Michael Park is perfect for the role, especially if OLTL had been able to cast Jon Hensley as Kevin Buchanan. Will casting Joey fix Gina Tognoni\\u2019s storyline as Kelly Cramer? Jamey reveals what he\\u2019s been hearing about the Roger Howarth rumors.

\\n

Ronan shot Chance on The Young and the Restless, but is Chance really dead? Can soaps do crime mystery storylines well or she they focus on other things? Jamey\\u2019s beloved Villy got married, but Jillian and Luke weren\\u2019t feeling it. Luke suggests a Phyllis/Deacon/Nikki triangle would be smokin\\u2019 hot. Is Y&R really implying with Nikki\\u2019s storyline that the only way a woman can take on Victor is if she is drunk?
