Oh Snap! Her Life's Like a Soap Opera
Afghan actress Trena Amiri films a scene for the soap opera Love and Old Age in Kabul. Trena, who is divorced and rarely sees her three children according to Afghanistan's custody laws, tries to be discreet about her career because many people are critical of her lifestyle.
Flashback: Paper Dolls
Like Manimal one year before it, Paper Dolls lasted only two months — from September 1984 to December 1984. A prime-time soap opera set around a fictional modeling agency, the show (called Karussell der Puppen in Germany!) starred Lloyd Bridges, Morgan Fairchild, Mimi Rogers, and introduced Nicollette Sheridan. With a trailer this awesome, I wonder why it did so badly!
Should Snoop Dogg Be in the Soap Bizzle?
He made a name for himself as a Grammy-winning rapper, took the English language by storm (for shizzle!), and then went the reality TV route to show off his domestic chops. He's a versatile dude, but who would've ever seen soap operas in Snoop's future? Not only is he doing the acting and performing thang on two episodes of One Life to Live (aired today and yesterday), he also recorded a new theme song to introduce these shows.
Passions: Trashiest Soap Opera Ever?
And by "trashiest" I mean awesomest. "Passions" specializes in little people
characters who have special powers. I've never been a fan of soaps, but when
there's one that has seemingly crossed with "The Twilight Zone," you can't
look away.
Daytime TV Has Gone Disney
I thought soap operas were in the business of airing backstabbing drama and torrid love affairs, not reviving classic Disney cartoon plots. A show must really be fishing for a new development when the writers have to drag The Little Mermaid into the storyline. (But have no fear, all the bad acting is still here!)
The Most Moving Moment In Soap Opera History
The Golden Globes may have come and gone, but there's one award they forgot to announce last night: the "That Actor Has Balls!" award. Yes, folks, we here at GiggleSugar would now like to present that award to this transgendered-by-daytime dude.

Subtle!
I don't know about you, but I like to describe products just as if I were in a commercial! Or, in this case, as if I were in a soap opera and doing really unsubtle product placement for Prego's heart-smart sauces that are oh, so deliciously nutritious for you and your loved ones.
Dear Poll: Who Would You Want to Join You To Film a Soap Opera Sex Scene?
Did you know that some of your favorite hot celebrities got their start on a soap opera? Although they are completely unrealistic, I have to admit that when I'm home sick, I get completely addicted! Since these characters spend more time in the bedroom than anywhere else, it's no wonder they're so easy on the eyes.
Cambridge Wants Soap Opera To Make It School of the People
Instead of using fancy brochures and an elitist image to attract students, Cambridge University is pitching the campus to Britain's top three soap operas as its latest marketing campaign.
Cambridge's spokesman said: We're very keen to attract the brightest and best students regardless of their background. One of the better ways of communicating directly with potential students is to talk to them through the soaps and other programs they watch.
Introducing: Horrible People, a Soap Opera
Unless you speak French, you will have no idea what's going on at the beginning of this fabulous spoof of soap operas (don't they already kinda spoof themselves?), but keep with it and you will be happy you did. There's the requisite grande dame who wants to hire someone to off her son —"a pus-infected wound of a human being who stinks of failure and misery" — and foreigners who, for a change of pace, aren't Australian. The problem is, the foreigners speak French, which makes for some awkward and ridiculous cross-translation subtitles.
