WE LOVE SOAPS TV 2.58 Billy Warlock


On episode 2.58 of WE LOVE SOAPS TV from the Love Out Loud VI fundraiser at Prohibition in New York City, Billy Warlock discusses his role in "The Normal Heart," the possibility of writing an autobiography someday, and shares his honest opinions on what daytime soaps could have done to save themselves.

WE LOVE SOAPS TV: What do you think needs to happen for the last four shows to remain viable and stay on the air? What, if anything, can they do from your perspective?

Billy Warlock: Nothing. And it's not their fault. Honestly, it could have been saved 5, 7, 8, 9, 10 years ago. It's all about money baby. Listen, it's simple. When you see shows getting rid of their mainstays to bring in $1,000 a day actors, that's your first sign of trouble. Tell stories with your core people. Get rid of everybody else. You want the four shows to remain? Get rid of everyone except your core people. Pay them. Shut the hell up. Do your job. And then go home. But tell it with the core 10 people. That's it. Not 12 Ford brothers, no offense to them. People have been watching soaps for 40 years because they love the people that they want to see. Stop the bullshit. You want to fix this shit, make it last? Write for the 10 people and shut the hell up.
