Ep. 636 - Soap Party (Back in session!)

So while we were gone, I'm pretty sure everybody knew this already because, you know, mathematics.

But, you know, Stevie B, a.k.a. Steve Burton, he renewed his contract for three more years.

Surprising, surprising.

However, the contract does have a opt-out.

So just like he did with the two years, he signed with three, but he can opt-out at any time.

So I just want to put that out there.

People were confused about this.

Also, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

The two big things that everybody is concerned about is this whole CBS, Sundance, Skydance, 90210.

By the way, happy anniversary, 90210.

36 years ago, huh? All right.

Thanks for rubbing it in.

Is this the exact day today?

Yes.

Wow.

Yep.

So there was a couple of mergers and everything that happened while we were gone that some people are concerned how it's going to affect the soaps.

So the biggest one obviously has been like, you know, in the news for the last couple of months, but now people are starting to worry that it's going to trickle down to General Hospital.

And that's the Disney and ABC budget cuts.

I'm pretty sure everybody's heard about this.

Carrie, Tia, you been keeping up with it or no? Not that much.

No, I haven't.

Okay.

So as we've been mentioning for the last couple of months, they've been taking different divisions of, the Disney slash ABC companies like ESPN, because remember earlier this year and last year, they were cutting some of their hosts, right? Some of you guys may or may not know that the quarterly, all that financial stuff, but you guys want to know about General Hospital.

So here is what's going on.
