What’s Wrong and Right with Soap Operas… Guiding Light

What’s wrong with Guiding Light is that the venerable 72-year old soap, which got its beginnings in radio before making the move to television in 1952, was recently canceled by CBS. Despite this sad and discouraging news, this show is currently what is right about the state of soap operas today. Incredibly well-written and amazingly [...]

Imaginary Bitches on the Silver Screen?

The CW Network – according to Daytime Confidential Well, it’s no rumor that there have been talks of ABC and CBS not wanting to host the awards show. But the CW? Well, guess there were no other options left. NBC took themselves out of the running a few years ago. Now, when will they be [...]

They barely know each other, have a child together, [...]

Eden Riegel departs All My Children…

Eden’s last air date is February 24th (ironically 4 years to the day of her initial departure), when her character, Bianca, loads up her two daughters and returns to Paris without the “love of her life” new bride Reese, who, for some unknown reason, decides to stay behind in Pine Valley rather than follow closely [...]

Redemption…

So, I have a question… After everything that Annie has done, how exactly will this character be redeemed? Is she past redemption? Is there still hope? Will she remain a loon and just cause havoc in everyone’s lives? Okay, so that was more than one question, but it’s something worth pondering. Understandably, every soap needs [...]

An INCREDIBLE WTF? moment from All My Children, 11/25/08)

Okay, so… on Monday’s AMC, Annie jumped off the balcony at the apartment she and Ryan shared in happier days, when they were the perfect little family with daughter Emma. *snore* Now, I’m assuming it was a pretty long drop, since the sound of her scream as she plummeted to the ground was a little [...]
