A bittersweet goodbye to Ugly Betty

After four seasons, the series finale of Ugly Betty filled a 42-minute episode to the brim with happy endings and tear-jerker moments…only to leave the happiest ending of them all, that of Betty and Daniel, as a sweet tease. And aside from a sense of the powers-that-be just not wanting to commit to an outright Betty/Daniel… Read More A bittersweet goodbye to Ugly Betty

Baby I love your way

I don’t think it’s a surprise to anyone that I love soap opera babies. And while I’ve definitely been more vocal about it in the past year, I’ve always enjoyed watching cute kids steal scenes. So, in mostly chronological order, here are ten of my favorite daytime darlings. This is by no means a definitive list,… Read More Baby I love your way

Betting on Betty and Daniel

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I have a dent in my head from where I just smacked it into my desk…thanks to this article at TV Guide Magazine discussing the OLTL Kish-off. The major source of my head-desking? This: ABC Daytime PR chief Jori Petersen now says “The Kish story did not have the appeal we hoped it would. We are going to… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Okay, it’s not NEARLY time for the afternoon soap block yet, and I’m already bouncing in my chair. I’ve been giddy ALL weekend about ATWT. Folks, Friday’s episode was awesome. It was Hughes family-centric, with just enough non-Hugheses — like Susan and Ali, Katie, Henry and Reid — to give viewers a sense of community. All… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
