I was doing some blog maintenance this morning, making some posts through July of this year public, and it occurred to me that you can really chart how my opinion about something goes through an evolution…primarily because of the ongoing nature of soaps. A story that starts out with an inkling of promise –like Y&R’s… Read More Ch-ch-ch-changes
Sexual orientation is a hot button topic in soaps these days, which is refreshing considering it used to never be discussed at all.
