Have y’all seen the BANK OF MOM & DAD promo that runs during SOAPnet’s evening lineup? I was watching OLTL last night and utterly horrified. It’s a jaunty little tune set to the ol’ “Hello Mother, Hello, Father” camp song that enforces every negative stereotype there is about women and finances. Basically, “Like omg I bought… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I’ve talked about this before, but it bears repeating: Boy, did YOUNG AND RESTLESS take a wrong turn with Adam. When he sobbed on the stairs yesterday, I objectively bought Michael Muhney‘s performance, but subjectively Adam’s manpain did nothing for me.

You know what never fails to make me hit the brakes on a storyline? Violence against women. And I’m pretty consistent about hating characters that engage in it and I remain resistant to redemption arcs. We all know this about me by now. I hate OLTL’s Todd and have little patience for GH’s Sonny; I… 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
