Daytime Confidential Reflections With Larry Flick

On episode 1174 of Daytime Confidential, Luke Kerr is joined by Larry Flick for the second Daytime Confidential Reflections episode, to catch up and reflect on moments from the past nineteen seasons.

Listen as Larry shares what he's been up to since leaving New York City and jumping the pond to the UK. He talks about surviving a heart attack followed a few years later by a bad case of COVID early in the pandemic.

 He reflects on how former Soap Opera Weekly Editor in Chief Mimi Torchin told him not to focus on being a soap journalist and to pursue his passion in music. Larry reveals the "secret sauce" of radio interviews and retells stories about interviews with Madonna, Adam Lambert and Leah Michele.

The two talk about how podcasting has evolved since Daytime Confidential premiered and the difference between video and audio podcasting mediums. Larry shares his first memories about the podcast and meeting Luke, Jamey, Jillian and Regan in person on The Morning Jolt.

Larry recounts how he started watching General Hospital and ABC soaps. He remembers the many eras of GH and weighs in on the current state of the show. The lens he watches GH through is different than a lot of soap fans. He gives his take on the character of Willow and remembers an encounter he had with Cameron Mathison on the street in NYC before he moved to the UK. He talks about the evolution of Carly Corinthos and remembers when Jackie Zeman debuted on GH. 

Do the storylines on soaps take too long or do they need to be shorter?

He reveals whether or not he's watched Beyond the Gates.
