Watching a show at 11 p.m. is a strain on even my rather impressive TV-watching stamina, so I’ve been setting a tape and watching NIGHT SHIFT the next morning over coffee.

I guess it’s fitting that on a day so resonant in American history, I’m all giddy over soaps nodding to their history. Daniel and Chelsea on DAYS OF OUR LIVES may skeeve me out, but their union can be lauded this week, because of the hilarious conversation between Doug, Bo, Julie and Hope about how Bo and… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
