All My Children

Okay, so, I get the vibes around here not many people watch soaps. But, I do. And I have watched this one all of my life. Seriously. Well, since I was 5 years old.

If anyone is at all familiar with the shows storylines, they have been ground breaking.

Rape, abortion, inter-racial couples, AIDS, lesbians, and domestic abuse. I believe they were the first to cover all of these {I could be wrong about the rape but not sure...}.

Now they have a new never before on television storyline. While a lot of the show is cheeky, I am quite proud of it for doing this. I was impressed they had two women kiss and they aired it. {If I remember, it was an iffy thing}.

Well, the new story line is that there is a male rock star who is quite out there {as far as his feelings and finding them and how others affect his aura, etc.}. He is quite attracted to the character on the show who is a known lesbian. She is confused because when she let him kiss her, she felt quite attracted back.

So. Fridays cliffhanger~

Bianca has agreed to go out on New Years Eve with Zarf. {you gotta know who is who by those names, right?} She is totally excited because she is feeling things that have her wondering what is going on.

The doorbell rings. She opens the door to find Zoe~Zarfs alter ego. His female side. It seems he is a transexual and wants to undergo the surgery to make him in to a woman. Thus explaining why he is so drawn to her and her to him. But of course, the show ended as a cliffhanger {I read up on the spoilers on the website} and all we see is him at the door dressed as a woman.

I am so curious to see where this goes. Long term. I am proud of my show for going there.

It all may sound goofy but I am so interested in how the writers will make it all happen and if this character continues to be a woman or what.

Anyone else watching? Is this interesting enough of a storyline to make someone watch for the first time?

This show really does go there. When a male character 'came out' the storyline had his parents trying to 'cure' him. They deal with issues for all ages. Okay, lately they've had too many kid issues and not used enough of the veteran actors but....

Well, if anyone does start watching, let me know what you think.

It is on ABC at noon {here in S.D.} as well as on SoapNet 3 times a day and all five shows on the weekend.
