Watching Roger Newcomb, Damon Jacobs and Elizabeth Kerri Mahon discuss one of my favorite topics — soaps’ lack of strong women — on We Love Soaps’ sixth episode of WLS TV got me thinking again. I sifted through each daytime soap that I watch, trying to think of a woman who is not reduced to obsessing… Read More Women on TV: the difference between night and day
Since I’ve been covering ATWT for three years for Weekly and watching regularly for five, I have a lot of emotions about ATWT’s cancellation. I also have emotions about yesterday’s ATWT episode.
