And with JoAnn's very generous blessing, I am presenting a compilation of conversations I have conducted over the past couple of years on Stardish with four of our favorite soap stars past and present, including:  "One Life to Live" hunk MATT WALTON (who discusses how he nabbed the role of Llanview legal eagle Eli Clarke); former "General Hospital" star MICHAEL SUTTON (who talks about his recent return to the show as tragic hero Stone Cates); former "Another World" heroine SANDRA ROBINSON (who recalls working opposite daytime legends like Doug Watson and Victoria Wyndham, who portrayed her character Amanda Cory Fowler's parents); and legendary "One Life to Live" returnee KIM ZIMMER (who discusses the turbulent final days of "Guiding Light," as well as how thrilled she is to return to Llanview after nearly three decades).  The best of the best, in a Brandon's Buzz special presentation!]]></itunes:summary><itunes:duration>3148</itunes:duration><itunes:keywords>kim zimmer,matt walton,michael sutton,one life to live,sandra robinson</itunes:keywords><itunes:explicit>clean</itunes:explicit><itunes:image href="https://d3wo5wojvuv7l.cloudfront.net/t_rss_itunes_square_1400/images.spreaker.com/original/6758a8fd7bf626a52bb0814f472dde56.jpg"/><itunes:episodeType>full</itunes:episodeType></item><item><title>Grammy-nominated singer/songwriter ROBBIE DUPREE stops by Brandon's Buzz!</title><link>https://www.spreaker.com/episode/grammy-nominated-singer-songwriter-robbie-dupree-stops-by-brandon-s-buzz--62772070</link><description><![CDATA[His fabulously infectious 1980 smash "Steal Away" earned him a Grammy nomination for Best New Artist and has become one of the most enduring, most popular hit singles of the past three decades.
