Heartbroken.

I am heartbroken.

My life of soaps is officially over.

One Life to Live and All My Children have been canceled. I am so pissed. Ugh.

Even worse, they are being replaced by reality television – a cooking show and a weight loss show (aren’t those contradictory?).

Fuck. There is really nothing left to say.

Poor Shane! (And the rest of the OLTL and AMC Casts)

So as you may have noticed, I have more or less given up on commenting on soaps. To be honest, all this talk about One Life to Live and/or All My Children being canceled is really stressing me out. I really enjoy these two shows. I used to like As the World Turns and Guiding Light – that being said, I love the ABC soaps more.

If they were to be canceled I am not sure what I would do. I am also not sure which one I would save over the other. I love them both.

I do kind of (selfishly) wish that soaps would more to a half hour format and work with smaller, more focused casts. Even in a three hour block – that would be six soaps with six much smaller casts! I think that I might enjoy that a lot more.

Anyway, until comments are solidly made by ABC – either saving or *gasp* canceling OLTL or AMC – I am not going to think about it any more.

Soap Twins – Well, Not Really (2/2)

Megan Ward and Bobbie Eakes


Ingo Rademacher and Cameron Mathison


Natalie Hall and Kristen Alderson


Greg Rikaart and Brandon Barash

There are a number of others that I had not even considered. Who do you think look a lot a like in soaps? Hmm . . .
Mark Lawson and Josh Kelly? David Gregory and Nic Robuck? Oh, the possibilities!

Soap Twins – Well, Not Really (1/2)

Did you ever notice that some soap actors look a lot alike? I thought it might be fun to compare a few that come to mind for me. Who knows? Maybe they won’t be as similar as I think.

Some of these are grasping at straws, but others are kind of interesting.


Dahlia Salem and Rebecca Budig


Brittany Underwood and Lexi Ainsworth


John Brotherton and Jason Thompson


Stephanie Gatschet and Claire Coffee

Taking a Page . . .

So I thought it might be fun to take a page from Julie James' book and cast my series. I am working on an X# book series with ten main characters. Originally, I had closer to twenty main people, but I cut a bunch this morning. There really is no need to tack on dead weight, yes?
So without further ado, here is the cast as I currently see it (and, come on people, you know I used soap stars!):

Brandon Barash as Liam

Chrishell Stause as Brianne

Brandon Beemer as Finn

Nadia Bjorlin as Megan

Eric Martsolf as Shane

Claire Coffee as Lindsay

Chad Brannon as Zander

Rebecca Herbst as Christina

Jay Kenneth Johnson as Nate

Stephanie Gatschet as Cara

I think the couples I paired up look mighty cute next to one another, and those who play siblings – well, it works. I am very happy with this pretend casting! Hehe. . . .
If you could cast your writing, who would you use?

Love, Adrienne
