Cutting away from Y&R’s Adam and Rafe kissing isn’t going to make it any less gay and, therefore, more palatable for conservative viewers. Odds are they’ve alreadytuned out because the mere existence of gay characters disturbs them…or because Adam’s story in general is so crazy. A little smooch action isn’t going to make it any worse.… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Cue another day of completely inappropriate laughter on my part when it comes to Y&R’s Adam and Rafe. Honestly, I’m trying to figure out what I find so gosh-darned funny. Maybe it’s just Adam, who is so, so ridiculous, especially in the context of a show like Y&R, which is usually “serious business.” Michael Muhney‘s… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Why she’s frequently wasted as… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Much has been made of Y&R’s wunderkind, Billy Miller, but I’ve got to give a major shout-out to Daniel Goddard, who has never been better as the conflicted Cane. Goddard’s been absolutely wonderful at playing a man desperate to keep his secrets — and his newfound family’s love. He always looks worn and beaten and… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
There’s a right way and a wrong way to do insane things on a soap. Having Y&R’s Mary Jane kill and stuff her cat — and then cuddle it? WRONG. Oh my God, that was beyond the pale. GUIDING LIGHT doing pretty much whatever they want..? AWESOME! I mean, seriously, GL is going off the air in… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
