Nothing Much

Not much to say. I've started another blog. 'Nuf said on the subject.

This one is becoming a soap opera blog, although that was not the original aim. But yet here is more soap opera commentary.

I have to say that I pretty much agreed with a recent "Dueling Divas" column in Soap Opera Weekly . Hinsey and the guest columnist were discussing minorities in soaps, which really means African-Americans.

Both agreed that ATWT handled Marshall's story poorly. Having the character rape Jessica then not pay for it, meant he had to die. So he did. As I've said before, ATWT does not seem to think through things. The rape may have seemed compelling, but then what was to be done with Marshall afterward? They couldn't figure that out, so they had Bonnie kill him (accidentally), coveniently setting up the exits of Napiera Danielle and Lamman Rucker.

Isaac, Bonnie's boyfriend, sold his bar and left town a few months ago. So now the only blacks on the show are Jessica, Ben, Sarah, and Walker, who has disappeared along with so many others who were involved in the summer serial killer story. Ben's son, Curtis, is supposed to return to the show, no doubt as Sarah's love interest. Man, that sounds soooooo interesting...NOT!!!. Jessica (and Tamara Tunie) deserves better than this. Her daughter and her only viable leading man (until the rape) since Duncan are off the show. Maybe Walker will make a play for her.
