Happy New Year, mes chers!
Marlena toasts you with a glass of champagne, wishing only soaps that are good this year. Speaking of, so many of my Thinking Fans sent in their own Best and Worst picks for 2007, there’s barely room to post them all! I love the intelligence of them and appreciate how discerning all of […]

I no longer do “Best” and “Worst” lists for soaps. After all, there have been so many “worsts” this year, why would I want to re-inflict the pain on you again? Moi loves mon readers. So, only the “bests” for you, darlings.

On the very pre-Christmas Friday when ABC stabbed us in the eye with Georgie’s funeral on General Hospital, As the World Turns showed us that it remembered what Christmas, family, hope — and soaps — are all about. The ATWT holiday show was purely a gift to us — the fans! We, […]

I admit it — I’m feeling an awful lot like Ebenezer Scrooge this year. Even Saint Nick himself knows that soap fans have certainly had a lot of reasons to say “Bah humbug!”

Cher Thinking Fans:
I wanted this Christmas message to be merrier, but alas, I’ve been sick for the last five days. Ever the trendsetter, I am the first among my friends and family to be downed by what the local newscasts have dubbed “Vicious Virus,” a miserable stomach flu that is sweeping New York City just […]

Whenever I talk about favorite old soaps with longtime soap fans, the conversation always ends the same way: “Weren’t soaps so much better then?”
We all yearn for yesterday. For many of us, soaps have been part of our lives for decades. It feels good to look back, just as it would looking at a […]

Today Georgie Jones becomes the victim of a serial killer on General Hospital. We mourn not just because we’re losing a very intelligent, good-hearted teenager we’ve known from birth who could have grown to be a major heroine show anchor, like Jessie or Bobbie were in their day. We mourn because we’re losing a delightful actress in Lindze Letherman. We mourn […]

Days of Our Lives can be called many things, but “boring” is seldom one of them. The show’s twists, turns, and red herrings sometimes make The daVinci Code look like Dr. Seuss in comparison!

I am 100% behind the Writers Guild and their strike. I come from a union family — my late grand-aunts spent just about every Sunday of the 1930s-60s freezing their tushs off in Union Square participating in rallies and demonstrations supporting organized labor, honoring the working man. Solidarity forever!
