Is anyone reading this still?

November sweeps report card:

After a good start, Sara turned out to be another agenda soap blogger. I don't read her any more.

I still enjoy reading her. I actually prefer her primetime reviews now.

What's her agenda?

I agree Ann, often her columns sound as if she had 5 minutes to meet her deadline, so she puts together any crap to meet it. They're not particularly interesting, informative, or offer any great insight into the world of soaps.

I get much more from reading posts here at SON.

And P. S. Y&RWorldTurner, then you must read them if you know the way they are.

Occasionally, one of the soap blog sites will link to her and I'll check her articles out. But I don't go looking for them most of the time anymore.

What do you think of her articles?

Y&RWorldTurner, that's why I prefer her primetime reviews. Her daytime reporting has definitely lost some of it's luster. It does seem thrown together, especially the topics she covers. Before she was giving us exclusives, interviews and insight from the world of soaps. Now we don't seem to get that, but I still read her daily. She's one of my main stops. Just in case.

I think she started well, then impossibly quickly sunk into baaaaaaad, then there were those GL set/location visits, which was the nadir from my point of view (bellcurve drew my attention to them), then I stopped and haven't been reading for quite a while...

And some time ago I returned. Like ChrisB, I think she wrote some good primetime columns, but daytime ones aren't really all that much. Which is sad.

I think the fact she does so many primetime reviews is part of the problem. She writes about every soap opera as if she watches each one equally closely, while still having time to watch and write about a ton of other programs and things. Her soap writing has become very vague IMHO and I've even noticed her get a lot of details wrong, or else state things without any proof to back it up (which is fine for my posts on here I have to add but not when you have a wannabe professional blog ).

What's her agenda?

Her agenda is to be a professional/insider soap blogger which makes her very careful in her criticism and quick with her praise when it is often undeserved. It is understandable because she wants to do interviews with soap actors and have access to high level executives. However, it makes her blog predictable and uninteresting.
