I’ve said it before, but I’m a sucker for a slow-burning love story and that’s part of why I’m such a fan of gay-themed storylines on soaps. By virtue of daytime treading carefully with the issue, stories like OLTL’s Kyle and Fish are being told at a snail’s pace compared to the whirlwind courtships and weddings… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
It’s amazing, invigorating, to be in a room full of South Asians who “get it,” who get me. The lunatic fringe, the rebels, the visionaries, who’ve all chosen the rickety, uncertain career path of journalism.

Of course, the worst of it happened on Thursday, but still…I… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Oh, GH. What AM I going to do with you? You give me the awesomeness of Coleman and then the ick of Ethan manhandling Rebecca. What’s next, he rapes her on a dance floor just like his hero, daddy Luke? Though, really, the stalker-rapist vibe that’s emanating from him now may be positive news for… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I’ve found the perfect way to deal with Meg’s forever-revolving door of swains on ATWT: focusing on how pretty Marie Wilson‘s hair looks. Love the deep red highlights! However, I can’t hand-wave Margo’s acceptance of Adam quite as easily. In fact, it makes me see red in a different way. ATWT has done a beautiful… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
