  2. OLTL: Still Surprising After All These Years by Huffington Post columnist Ed Martin

    Posted 12 Nov 2009

    "One Life to Live: Still Surprising After All These Years," is a wonderful professional analysis of OLTL's dynamic early November sweeps--the Kish (almost wedding), Nigel/Neville, creative decision making on soaps, and how it all fits into OLTL's history.

    Written by veteran TV columnist Ed Martin (mediabizblogger.com; HuffingtonPost.com; jackmyers.com)

    So proud to feature semi-regular guest Ed Martin on my site.

  3. Franco to GH?: Top 10 List A La Letterman

    Posted 2 Oct 2009

    James Franco to guest star for two months on General Hospital has to be the biggest bombshell news in the decades I’ve watched and written about soaps. I just heard, and it’s fabulous! As much as I love soaps, my mind jumped to wise guy remarks, a la David Letterman’s nightly Top 10.

    Here’s my instant Top 10 list.......

  4. GL At the Apex of Quality, a 1992 Salute

    Posted 15 Sep 2009

    By Marlena De Lacroix

    In March 1992, Guiding Light reached the apex of soap quality, that perfect blend of excellence in writing, acting and production. I thought it had everything going for it to reach #1 in the ratings. Here’s my column from Soap Opera Weekly, March 2, 1992, Volume 3, Issue 9, in which I analyzed this blueprint for building a perfect soap. A framed copy of this column hung over the desk of GL’s then executive producer Jill Farren Phelps for the duration of her stay there.

    Intelligence, integrity, heart — GL had all three. It was a soap that not only deserved to rise to the top of the ratings, but should have stayed there forever. What a tragedy we are losing America’s oldest and historically beloved soap on Friday. Farewell, Guiding Light. You were glorious!

    Here’s my column as it appeared originally. ]

  5. The Daytime Emmys: The Beginning of the End?

    Posted 2 Sep 2009

    Balance is the key to professional journalism and in that spirit, veteran soap critic Marlena De Lacroix presents a Daytime Emmy review that's totally opposite hers. It's by her old friend Ed Martin, a longtime TV industry analyst and expert, who writes for Jack Myers.com and the Huffington-Post.

    See both Marlena's positive review and Ed's negative, though thought-provoking review at
