[QUOTE="James from London, post: 423643, member: 22"] I dipped into a couple of episodes. It's more like a not-as-irritating version of [I]Loose Women[/I] than it is a podcast about [I]Knots[/I]. One ep opened with an eleven minute discussion of JvA's cataracts, which kind of reminded me of those old Hello or OK! magazine multi-page photo spreads of Linda Gray's "beautiful new kitchen". No offence to Linda Gray, but I'm not even that interested in my own kitchen. And I'm not really interested in anyone's cataracts. I guess I'm more interested in JvA etc as actors (primarily, in relation to [I]Knots)[/I] than as people, or at least the celebrity-version of people they present themselves as in public. Even though I preferred [I]Knots[/I] as a series, I'd say [I]Melrose Place[/I] wins the battle of the soap podcasts because [I]MP[/I]'s is much more focused on the show itself. It's a bit like when they did those "real-life" soap reunion shows about twenty years ago; [I]Dynasty[/I]'s felt the most relaxed and spontaneous and [I]Knots Landing[/I]'s the most stagey and fake, even though [I]Knots[/I] itself had been easily the most naturalistic and believable of the prime-time soaps back in the day.
