You know what never fails to make me hit the brakes on a storyline? Violence against women. And I’m pretty consistent about hating characters that engage in it and I remain resistant to redemption arcs. We all know this about me by now. I hate OLTL’s Todd and have little patience for GH’s Sonny; I… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I love “the rake and the ingenue;” I love the Benedick-and-Beatrice couples who banter their way into love. And I love couples who get back together after years apart.

You’d think I would be sick of talking about OLTL’s Kish after watching clips on repeat all weekend (dude, where was I when Kyle did the striptease for Natalie’s bachelorette party? LOL!) but no, I’m actually more inclined to ramble about them than ever. In fact, I unleashed over in the WEEKLY blog this morning (the… Read More Yep, still Kishing and telling.
After ruminating on One Life to Live‘s Kyle and Fish all weekend, I was inspired to hit YouTube to look up all of daytime’s LGBT first liplocks*. I think I got ’em all, but feel free to comment and tell me what else to look for. Daytime’s first same-sex kiss, that of AMC’s Bianca and… Read More What would happen if they kissed?
