JILL FARREN PHELPS

JILL FARREN PHELPS

Today on the podcast, the one and only Jill Farren Phelps talks the highs and lows of being an Executive Producer on 6 different soaps across 3 major networks. She's been nominated for 15 Daytime Emmys and has 11 wins-9 for Outstanding Daytime Drama.  From her start in soaps at Guiding Light, Jill doesn't shy away from talking about taking high stakes risks, making controversial decisions and what she would've done differently. Sometimes funny and sometimes reflective, Jill Farren Phelps is truly soap opera royalty! 

*Also, to be clear, she did not kill Frankie Frame on Another World. :-)
