I’m saving up my Emmy nomination thoughts for our June 9 issue, but I will share some of the fun of going to the post-announcement reception last night. (I briefly debating Twittering from it, but knew it was an exercise in futility. I just cannot text message fast enough!) I began the evening by wandering around trying to… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
You know, when B&B’s Jackie and Owen started their affair, I was totally on board. I thought it was fun, sexy, and a great way to revitalize Jackie while also highlighting how freaking awesome Lesley-Anne Down is. What a difference a month makes. Because now…? I am so creeped out.

Devin Owens, SOD’s west coast feature writer, has been e-mailing me off and on about the Luke/Noah/Zac/Zoe story on ATWT, and I think the funniest thing of all was last week when he e-mailed me, “I can’t wait. How do Luke and Noah escape?” Today’s episode answers that question but I went ahead and e-mailed… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Last week, I had the worst case of writer’s block. I could not, for the life of me, think of what to write for my Soapbox column. And for anyone who knows me, me being out of things to say about soaps is downright freakish. I always have an opinion about something. My colleague Joe… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
