Yes, Jackie, that's the most disturbing fact of all--that the audience and TPTB are largely women!!! It also ties into women having no worth except their youth and sexuality--look at how much approval Blair is getting [both from fans and soap mags] just for getting Todd into her bed, while Tea gets no credit for trying to love, understand and help this man!! -- At The Bayberry

In reply to: jackie 's message, "Wow, great post Trog, ICAM! Currently, I am taping/watching GH, AMC, Passions, GL and ATWT and the pace at which female characters continue to be "dumbed down" in Soaps is completely alarming to me! Even worse when you consider that not only are viewers predominantly female BUT so are TIIC who are running this industry.. into the freakin' ground!" on 14:38:50 03/09/01 Fri

When "love in the afternoon" transform into "sex in the afternoon?" I'm still asking myself THAT question, can't quite pinpoint when "insta-sex" replaced long, drawn out love story ending in glorious consummation, fade to black.... I knew it was bad when CC of X-Files, who hates to admit he delivered a great romance, wrote MORE touching dialogue & better UST for MSR than soap writers today! The �You are my touchstone,� and �you are mine� embrace was FAR better payoff than loveless sex on soaps (NT) -- Pilar, 16:32:55 03/09/01 Fri
