I must make a correction to my May 1 (rather rant-y) post about the lack of racial diversity in daytime. Reader MarkDutchViewer told me that ATWT’s Bonnie and Derek did in fact kiss shortly after the debacle where Robbie held Jade hostage at Metro, on January 14. Thank goodness for fans and YouTube clips, because… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
You know, I’ve been pretty upbeat about soaps’ handling of LGBT issues lately, glad that daytime’s being so supportive and making the effort, etc. There’s a problem with that, though. It means that in my mad rush to praise soaps, I’ve forgotten to be vigilant of how there’s still a bunch of EPIC FAIL in… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala

I’m starting to feel like a broken record about GL being completely awesome lately, but, seriously, it’s true. I am not spoiling anything since most of the country gets the show at 3 p.m., but the last five minutes of the episode are an absolute MUST-SEE for Otalia fans, and for fans of good soap… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
Wow, today’s GL was a seriously great hour of soap…thus making me even MORE depressed about its cancellation than I already was. And here’s the shocker: wildly popular duo Olivia and Natalia weren’t even on! Yes, Virginia, there IS more to GL than the awesome bisexual women. It’s no secret that I’m a total Bizzie… Read More Soap Opera Weekly: Blogging With Mala
