Brokeback Soap

With the critical acclaim of Brokeback Mountain, I wonder if soaps will start to do more gay/lesbian themed stories. And true-to-life stories, not the "second-string character with AIDS" storylines we had in the eighties and nineties.

Just curious if they thought of this. IF so, what hot soap hunks would you like to see in a romantic pairing. Hmm...what about ATWT's Jack and Mike. They have things in common besides just Carly.

GL: Man on the Run!

According to the CBS Daytime promo, GL is going to have Tammy and Jon go on the run. How overdone is that storyline? Teen lovers on the run is so not original. It's been done since I've been watching soaps which is thirty some years.

On CBS alone, we had Gwen and Will on the run (ATWT) as well as Lily and Daniel (YR). BB managed to avoid this with the Thomas and Gabi storyline--though I am surprised they didn't have them do more than just run off to Vegas and elope.

ATWT: New Luke has a blog!

Well, welcome to the 21st century CBS daytime. In an exciting move, the actor now playing Luke Snyder on ATWT will be keeping a blog. The idea is to keep the fans informed on what it is like behind the scenes, taking over a new role, and all the other details we just guess.

It can be accessed thru the blogroll to the right (you may have to scroll down as the blogroll is the last item on the sidebar.

ATWT: Gwen vs Jenn is the realm of maturity

I figure Jenn is probably 5 or so years older than Gwen but Gwen way outpaces her in the maturity department. While I am glad Jenn is getting her child back (and putting an end to the never-ending storyline), the wrapup had me comparing the two.

Jenn has only gotten by with her family's wealth and position. When things go wrong she is always running off to Europe or elsewhere and never handling the things in her life. Gwen, due to a lack of $$ to practically run off--though she did try, has had to face her problems and is thus way ahead of Jen is emotional years/age.

Just my thought. What do you think.
