I was watching As the World Turns today, and I kept flipping over to One Life to Live during the commercials to get hits like a crack addict needing a fix. And, well, I missed a lot, so I rewatched the big, gay wedding tonight (I love that absolutely everybody, in Llanview and offscreen, is calling it… Read More Tricks, treats and Dorian’s big, gay wedding
Yes, today was the day that “Elizabeth’s first love” returned on GH, and I’ll get to that, but let me talk about OLTL’s Kyle’s first love, Fish, first! I’m a sucker for two characters really digging deep into the core of their relationship. And, as we all know, I’m a sucker for Kyle and Fish… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

After unifying Fish, Matthew/David/Bo and Markko and Mr. Rivera with the theme of fathers and sons in today’s episode, ONE LIFE TO LIVE left me with a distinct urge to call my dad. From the touching to the gut-wrenching, OLTL covered all the bases. I know some people think Oliver’s scenes with his parents are… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
