Olivia and Natalia...In Love?!: Over the past few weeks, rumors have been running rampant that Olivia and Natalia will be daytime's newest lesbian couple. A trusted source revealed this weekend that the rumors are true. In a recent Soap Opera Digest interview, Crystal Chappell (Olivia) revealed her new storyline would be unusual. As a fan of soaps, Crystal says the story will be unlike anything "anybody's ever seen before." I know I haven't seen any highly religious women turn gay in my 20 years of watching soaps.

If I were writing Guiding Light, I'd have had Natalia and Frank slowly fall for each other. This "Frank can't get a date" story is getting reaaaaaaaalllly old quickly.

Instead, we get Kreizman, Hurst, Wheeler and company pulling something out of their asses once again.

Jesus. Can't SOMEONE in Cincinnati veto this storyline?

Totally ridiculous. Olivia has been the biggest ho in Springfield and Natalia is a devout catholic, how are we meant to believe this? Especially considering not that long ago they hated each other and were fighting over Gus. What really irks me about GL right now is that there doesnt seem to be any long term planning going on at all...I agree with sungrey, Natalia and Frank slowly falling for each other would be a far nicer storyline, and then they could have them as the stable couple in the background during lots of other storylines.

If they wanted to do a gay storyline with lesbians, why not bring back Marah and do it with her? Explain that her previous actions were all as a result of trying to live up to Reva's reputation? Or SORAS Clarissa a little and do it with her like AMC did with Bianca.

This just reeks of desperation. It's like GL has truly lost any morsel of identity and is grasping on to whatever little shred of hope it might have in reinventing itself, and failing.

I would LOVE to see CBS decide "You know what? This is the longest running drama in television history. There could be a lot of power behind this brand." And put some SERIOUS bucks into it, totally overhaul it (even keeping the current production model but doing it on a bigger scale) and giving it a year to garner ratings. Force its affiliates to air it in a decent timeslot, try and buy it off of P&G since they seem to have lost all interest in it...if it fails, at least it will go out with a little dignity.

ABC is making serious efforts to make its soaps appealing to a wider audience, they're realising the potential in great daytime dramas and trying to ensure their longevity, even if their attempts are a little misguided...I would love to see GL get some sort of last chance at life.

      Welcome back, Tripp 

      Please register in order to view this content

      I’m glad Tripp is back in Salem and I like that he’s planning on being more assertive. He doesn’t deserve to get hurt again. Though I wouldn’t be surprised if some people in the Soap Universe are gonna be mad about his lines today Hopefully, we get some scenes of Johnny/Tripp and Wendy/Chanel. There haven’t been that many lately and this storyline definitely needs them. I think weaving Talia into it would be a good idea as well. She needs a new man now that the Colin storyline is over.  Rafe is still dumb. There really are no security cameras at that hospital that could have shown that Colin didn’t take Abe?? Speaking of Abe, his storyline is total ff material. James Reynolds deserves so much better than this.

      And Just Like That

      I've been rewatching early SATC (am mid-season 2), and am enjoying the mid-90s indie film vibe of the show at that time. It was a bit tougher and grittier but it also showed some of the growing wealth of the city at that time. SATC was always about pecking order and jostling for a better position, but on the romantic frontlines. I also enjoyed the Bad Dating SLs LOL. I understand why it went the fairytale-ish route. Part of this mirrored the evolution of the city itself, as Manhattan became more moneyed and, dare I say, unaffordable. It was a glamorous city that many aspired to live in and conquer against the odds. Part of it was also, as the show progressed, our own growing investment in the main cast and their SLs. Hence less standalone episodes and more a continuing soapy story of romantic relationships. IMO, this was a fairly organic evolution.

      Lanier is fine but I miss Hunter King as well. A lot of the material AL is struggling with currently HK would’ve had an easier time playing, she could knock out those bratty whiny freakout moments with little effort. AL’s Summer should be written as icier and more indignant.

      Seeing Harris Faulkner trend the last few nights for shameless propaganda on Faux News, I watched a clip or two, and she is better at selling it than Tucker, Hannity, Watters, and so on. Yet she's never going to be accepted by that fanbase, for two reasons.
