Mala Bhattacharjee: Today's GL a 'great hour of soap'
"Wow, today's GL was a seriously great hour of soap ... thus making me even MORE depressed about its cancellation than I already was. And here's the shocker: wildly popular duo Olivia and Natalia weren't even on! Yes, Virginia, there IS more to GL than the awesome bisexual women."
Soap opera an enduring art form
Darrell Norman writes: "These days’ teenagers write autobiographical novels on their cell phones and post them to the world one episode at a time. Their readers wake up to a ring in the middle of the night to learn whether Niko will go home with Raul. These modern stories are not sponsored by Oxydol or Ivory Snow, but they are still soap operas. Fans are still eager to know what will happen next."
