Watching GH today, I was struck by how beautiful and together and amazing Maxie is.

Do I talk about how my first official phone interview was with Chris Beetem (ex-Jordan, ATWT) in 2004 and my first in-person… Read More Lathering up for a look back…
Think soaps are dead? Bite me! “I grew up watching and loving soap operas,” THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ executive producer Julie Plec, tweeted on Thursday, April 14. “Today’s ABC news makes me sad.” That night, after the cancellation of AMC and OLTL, I went home and watched Plec’s show, taking some solace in the adventures of Elena,… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
