Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

So, I was formatting the list of this year’s Daytime Emmy pre-noms for the issue we’re working on this week, and just marveling at how weird the pre-nom and nomination process is. I’ll be honest, there are years where I look at the list and just go, “What? Huh? I don’t get it!” I don’t… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

When it comes to my critical pieces in the magazine lately, I’ve been, well, critical. There’s a lot to go off on when it comes to soaps these days and finding things that make me all warm and fuzzy proves to be a harder task than finding something that makes me all fork-stabby.

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Sometimes, there’s an actor that just wins hearts across the board. Critics and fans alike cotton to them, and they take their gloriously dysfunctional character to a level where you can’t help but feel for them. GL’s Tom Pelphrey (ex-Jonathan) was one such find and I’m sure it’s no surprise if I suggest that Y&R’s nuBilly,… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Then could someone explain to me why I was sitting on my couch between the hours of 10… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Between the poor showing for Carly’s “gala” for Michael, an airborne toxin that seems to only strike every fourth person, and a pathetically underpopulated hospital, it’s been hard to drum up any kind of excitement or sense of urgency while watching GENERAL HOSPITAL. Gone are the nailbitingly tense days of the Metro Court hostage crisis… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Calling a spade a spade when you know who crafted the tool.

Is it hard to call a spade a spade when you know the person who crafted the tool? You betcha. I write critical commentary for a living, and keeping a certain objective distance can be incredibly difficult when you have what some would regard as a personal relationship with the subject being analyzed. If you’re… Read More Calling a spade a spade when you know who crafted the tool.

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I’ve been a little behind with my soap hopping, so I haven’t tuned into AMC for a few weeks. But judging by the unhappy mail we get, it seems like watching the show is a cross between watching the live feed of an execution and getting a root canal. So, when I offered to pinch… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
