Much like Live with Regis & Kelly, Lisa and Ty would come out, take a seat, drink coffee and discuss what was going in the world.
Topics ranged from the world of soap operas, television in general, movies, celebrities, and the lives of the two hosts.
Alison Sweeney, Melissa Reeves and Catherine Hickland often filled in for Rinna, among others including Melody Thomas Scott and Hillary B. Smith.
In celebration of SOAPNet getting Another World reruns, Linda Dano hosted an episode full of former stars of the soap.
Actress Jennifer Finnigan announced on the show that she would be leaving her three-time Daytime Emmy Award-winning role of Bridget Forrester on The Bold and the Beautiful.
