Inspired perhaps by the success of SoapNet's Emmy-winning chat show,
Soap Talk, CBS has conceived its own version called
CBS Soapbox. The show will feature cohosts
Kristoff St. John (Neil,
Y&R) and
Ricky Paull Goldin (Gus,
GL) fielding callers' questions and interviewing suds stars, but only ones who work on the Eye network's four soaps, of course. The other catch? It's only viewable on the Internet at CBS.com — beginning July 19 at 3 pm/ET — so
Lisa Rinna and
Ty Treadway needn't sweat just yet. Still, it's a smart move. "We are always looking for ways to enhance our relationship with our daytime audience," says CBS Daytime chief
Barbara Bloom. "
CBS Soapbox provides another connection to the loyal and passionate viewers of our popular series."
