Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

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

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

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Watching ATWT at home on Friday instead of at the office, I was reminded of the tagline for Alien: “In space, no one can hear you scream.” Without my co-workers around, I was free to shriek like a horror movie ingenue at Hunter and Alison. Of course, the worst of it happened on Thursday, but still…I… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Was I supposed to be laughing hysterically at Y&R’s Adam today? ‘Cause, dude, that was sheer comedy gold. I already discussed how young Rafe looks on Friday, but today, he pretty much made Adam look like Chester the Molester. Could their post-romp scene have been ANY more awkward? From the stiff posture to the straightening… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I gotta tell ya, I’ve known the “big secret” about ATWT’s Riley for months and I still got chills at the end of today’s episode. I cannot say enough good things about Ellen Dolan, who has played the notes of Margo’s grief and gradual acceptance of Riley perfectly as this story unfolded. Why she’s frequently wasted as… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

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

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
