Since I’ve had massive love for OLTL lately, I should’ve figured that something would ruin it — my own personal romantic roadblock, determined to break up me and my cute, new steady. Yep, I’m talking Todd and Marty. I mean, pardon my caps-lock abuse here, but WHAT COURT IN THE LAND WOULD ORDER A RAPIST… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I’ve been showering the Kyle/Fish storyline on One Life to Live with a lot of praise these past weeks, but in all of that joyous bouncing, I think I’ve overlooked the story’s unsung hero: Cristian.
