I’ve said it before, but I’m a sucker for a slow-burning love story and that’s part of why I’m such a fan of gay-themed storylines on soaps. By virtue of daytime treading carefully with the issue, stories like OLTL’s Kyle and Fish are being told at a snail’s pace compared to the whirlwind courtships and weddings… Read More 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.

Though, really, the stalker-rapist vibe that’s emanating from him now may be positive news for… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
I’ve found the perfect way to deal with Meg’s forever-revolving door of swains on ATWT: focusing on how pretty Marie Wilson‘s hair looks. Love the deep red highlights! However, I can’t hand-wave Margo’s acceptance of Adam quite as easily. In fact, it makes me see red in a different way. ATWT has done a beautiful… Read More 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
