By Michele Dargan I was never, ever one of those girls who was attracted to the bad boys. In life – and in soaps – it’s the good guys….the guys with honesty and integrity, who I always root for. Having said that, my top three fave guys in soapland these days are actually quite similar [...]

By Silas Kain I was holding off writing about this because I had more concerns about One Life to Live. But after watching last week’s episodes of General Hospital I can’t hold back any longer. So, here goes. It’s not one of my more wordy pieces but it gets to the heart of my greatest [...]

By Michele Dargan First they break up Spixie…. And now they’re turning Spinelli dark. Why is it that soap writers feel the need to take something reaalllly good – and turn it bad? And even worse, they are not being true to the character – at all!! That’s one of my biggest problems with the [...]

By Michele Dargan I love Claire Walsh as the tough-as-nails prosecutor on General Hospital for many reasons. For one, Dahlia Salem as Walsh brings a great deal of realism to the role. She has the mannerisms and presence of a prosecutor down better than many real-life prosecutors. I know this because is my real job [...]

By Michele Dargan I LOVE to discuss my soaps with other fans, because it helps me to see things from other points of view…other perspectives. And even though I might not like a particular storyline, there are fans out there who do. It was just one of those convos I had recently with my good [...]

By Michele Dargan I am sick, sick, SICK of listening to Sonny, Jason and Carly blame other people for their misdeeds!! Sonny is just ridiculous in terms of his thinking and his rationalization of what he does and who he is. The guy is a mob kingpin and he is constantly blaming others for hurting [...]

By Michele Dargan All I can say is – Thank Goodness Luke is back! Luke BEE-lieves Ethan and is fighting for him! Loved, Loved, LOVED the Luke/Sonny scenes!!!!! Tony Geary as Luke and Maurice Benard as Sonny ignited the TV screens. The intensity between them was explosive and I couldn’t take my eyes off the [...]

By Michele Dargan I have been riveted – JUST RIVETED – the past few days on General Hospital. And NOT because of the (yawwwwn) – Liz/Nik/Lucky who’s-the-daddy storyline. I have been fast forwarding through those scenes. The polar opposite to that is the teen dating abuse storyline. Back in July, Soapbox1 reported the teen dating [...]

By Joshua So, on two of the ABC soaps, there are two characters – teenage girls as a matter of fact – who have been calling their father “evil” or “a monster”. Yes, folks. I am talking about OLTL’s Dani (Kelley Missal) and GH’s Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth). They both have daddy issues and I think [...]

By Michele Dargan I never thought I’d be saying this ever again, but….. Didn’t ya just LOVE those scenes today with Maxi and Lucky. I did! The thing I can’t believe is that they were talking about that oh-so-nasty chapter in their lives – and, somehow, it was okay. Actually, it was more than okay. [...]
