Today, AS THE WORLD TURNS’ Damian and Meg both came down with that rare strain of flu that forces your shirt to come off for no apparent reason. Why can’t we get THAT epidemic here in New York instead of H1N1 (aka “swine flu”)? I mean, historically, PASSIONS had a major case of the Shirtless… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Okay, people: the habit of whipping out white candles every time someone has The Sex on soaps has officially gotten utterly ridiculous.

And for anyone who knows me, me being out of things to say about soaps is downright freakish. I always have an opinion about something. My colleague Joe… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
