Recorded at the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference, Kin Shriner reflects on his decades as Scotty Baldwin, soap history, and the lasting bond between daytime television and its fans.

I’m excited to share this special conference conversation with Kin Shriner, best known to daytime audiences as Scotty Baldwin on General Hospital and Port Charles.

Recorded at the Soap Operas in Popular Culture Conference, Kin was candid, funny, and generous as he reflected on his decades in daytime television, the evolution of the genre, and the enduring connection between soap operas and their fans. From the early years of Scotty Baldwin to broader conversations about soap history, fandom, and longevity, this panel captured both the humor and the heart of daytime drama.

It’s a pleasure to share this conversation here in The Locher Room — one that honors the legacy of soaps through the perspective of someone who helped shape them.
