If Emmys don’t come out of this then there is no justice. Oh my goodness. This has been superb GH.

I am a self-confessed soapaholic and one of my favorites is One Life to Live. It has been really bugging me for some time now that Forbes March, the guy that plays Nash Brennan, reminds me of someone. Well, last night I finally figured it out. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you…

The old Todd Manning, Roger Howarth, and the current Nash Brennan, Forbes March.

My goodness. The resemblance is uncanny. No wonder it was making me nuts.

Listen up ABC and the powers that be over at One Life to Live. If you goofballs did in fact kill off Todd Manning, there is most definitely going to be an uprising of astronomical proportions!!

I do have to send kudos to you too for a storyline that has had me completely glued to the screen for the execution. Trevor St. John has done an awesome job and pulled off a very believeable “dead man walking”. Wow, I thought you were good before but you have reached the top of my list now Mr. St. John. Emmy, Emmy, Emmy!!

Just so we are perfectly clear here…I am a soapaholic. Yes, I love the soapies and TiVo my 3 favorites everyday…Days of Our Lives, One Life to Live, and General Hospital. Sometimes I like one more than the others but that is always subject to change.

A big deal in the world of soaps is that time period known as “sweeps” when the various shows try to boost viewership with big, and sometimes outrageous, stories. Right now, One Live to Live is far and away the better show with General Hospital running a close second. Days of Our Lives is on life support as far as I’m concerned and not expected to live.

One Life’s handling of the death of Duke Buchanan has been an absolute work of art. Dan Gauthier (Kevin) and Heather Tom (Kelly) have given amazingly gut-wrenching performances and left me in tears more than once. Yes, I do cry and sometimes even bawl over my soapies.
