Dustin Cushman

Soaps.com freelancer — or, as we like to think of him, Special Guest Star — Dustin Cushman has watched soaps since he was a small child, thrilling to Days of Our Lives with his mother and not one but both grandmothers. In fact, among his earliest memories are Stefano DiMera faking a heart attack and Roman Brady falling from a cliff while fighting the villain to his supposed death. Years later, Dustin launched Dustin's Days Page — one of the first Days of Our Lives fan pages in existence back when Al Gore invented the Internet. After the site morphed into Soap Opera Fan, Dustin took some time off from writing about daytime, then was brought on as a writer/recapper at Soaps.com, where his focus is now General Hospital and, of course, Days of Our Lives. When not glued to his TV, this trained archaeologist and anthropologist teaches at a local university and moonlights as a historic tour guide and ghost hunter. What did you expect us to say? He has a split personality, and you can find him most nights at the Floating Rib? Follow Dustin @BlueWizard75.
