This blog is mainly about soaps, though it will sometimes veer into other topics. The main purpose is to provide a space for when board discussion isn't enough as sometimes my thoughts and feelings take on a life of their own. Even if some of the shows I enjoy have been cancelled, I will continue to post about them. They may take away the shows, but they can't destroy the love.

The Veteran Fan Dilemma - Major Characters Becoming Minor Ones?

I'm not referring to long time fans as someone can be interested in actors who've been on for decades and be newer to a program. For the record there are other fan issues long time fans have to deal with or fans of long term performers have to adjust to, but I'm just touching on one in this blog.
