2008

I've been thinking about starting an All My Children blog for awhile...I'd see something on the show or read an article in Soap Opera Weekly and think of a good response or critique that should be shared with other fans. I had a "Pine Valley Bitch" section in my personal blog that I intended to update every day, but nobody ever said anything about it, so I figured why bother?

I've started 12pm today, 1 January 2009, four days before the show's 39th anniversary. I'll do a couple brief "year in review" posts of the last 12 months of the show, because anything more than that would be a huge undertaking, given that soap operas are on EVERY DAY, EVERY WEEK, EVERY MONTH. Five days a week, four weeks a month, twelve months a year. There are no hiatuses or "seasons" for soap operas...just year-round writing, acting, producing, editing, and airing. A lot of people (those who don't think highly of soaps, usually) don't realise how hard soap opera writers, actors, and crews truly work.
