I'm a little late here, but jeeze... I guess what I used to consider good soap opera, and what ABC Daytime calls good soap opera have finally parted ways.
GH, I only watched for five or six years, no great loss. Sonny makes me sick, Jason makes me sick and I still say that Steve Burton couldn't act like he was burning if you set his bad hair on fire. Maurice is a nice man, Sonny sucks. Carly looks like a freaking praying mantis, and damned if ai want to give her ten minutes. Ewwww...
OLTL is blasphemy. Could they be a little more blunt with their ageist bullshit? Anyway, the stories sucks, Dena Higley is a fucking hack and every SINGLE person I watch for has been destroyed by Lizard Lips/Lurch/Pencildick (pick a moniker, any one will work). When I'm wasn't suffering thru that I was subjected to gNat and her bad hair, Evaseline and her swinging hair, rolling eyeballs... puhlease. I'd rather have root canal than watch that SHIT.
There's a reason everyone calls her McTrash, and here we go. Yuck, just yuck.
Love ya, Holly. Thank God for books.
