Oh ye gods no………
So…lame…
Somebody shoot me with a Kryptonite bullet. 😛
This makes me almost want to watch soap operas…
Oh wait…no it doesn’t.
WTF???????
if its true, then GL just went to crap
I don’t know. GL has done some pretty bizzare things in the past. Two Reva’s, a ghost Reva, people rising from the dead, and so on…….so this is not that much of a stretch for them…and it must work – it is one of the longest running, award winning soaps in broadcasting, going back to the radio days.
As the old saying goes – If it ain’t broke – don’t fix it. 🙂
