What in the Sam Hill (not to be confused with the Sam McCall) was going on with GH’s Ethan and Lucky beating the snot out of Dante Friday and today? Lucky is a cop, and getting into bar brawls is just plain stupid. And Ethan…? He’s a sticky-fingered con artist! He has no room to judge somebody… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Joe and I had fun with yesterday’s GENERAL HOSPITAL — if you call fun e-mailing each other back and forth going, “Wait, is this the same night as Claudia’s car accident?” Between the brain surgery sequence a few days ago, the trip to the police station and the scenes at the Quartermaine mansion, we were totally… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
And that would be ‘Do Not Keep.’ In my previous post, I talked about how Loving a Lost Lord by Mary Jo Putney wasn’t a bad book despite its cultural hinkiness. I spoke too soon.

I’m going to try and hit a few different shows in this entry, including Y&R, NBC’s MERLIN, and B&B — with no mentions of Rafe/Adam, babies or hats! Holy HIPAA violation, Batman! Y&R’s Olivia told Neil and Devon about Lily’s cancer diagnosis before telling the patient herself? Last I checked, Lily is a twice married,… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Hey, Y&R, what’s the dealio? Why wait till now to flesh out Rafe? Just because Colleen is back to be his talk-to? Couldn’t we have seen the flashes of depth we saw yesterday before he got busy with Adam? Viewers tend to like a little dimension to characters, especially when they’re suddenly part of a front-burner story.… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
