After more than 40 years, fans of All My Children will say goodbye to the Pine Valley family today. Following devastating news that ABC planned to cancel All My Children and One Life to Live, thousands of soap fans across the web signed a petition to "implore ABC to not remove our beloved shows." Since Internet petitions are powerless in the face of cheaper, higher-rated reality TV weight-loss Read more
Shocking news hit lovers of Pine Valley today — ABC announced it's canceling All My Children! Erica Kane and her many husbands, lovers, friends, and enemies will say goodbye in September, and they aren't the only casualties. One Life to Live will take its last breath in January. Considering the soaps have been on for a combined total of 83 years, many fans will be sad, including me. When I was Read more
Kourtney Kardashian trades in reality TV for daytime TV when she makes an appearance on One Life to Live. Read more
Soap operas might be the low of American culture (don't tell James Franco), but in Afghanistan they serve lofty objectives. In a country where the Taliban forbade women to even go to school not too long ago, it's empowering for women to work and gain public recognition. And for viewers at home, the show tells the familiar story of life since the fall of the Taliban. In last weekend's New York Read more

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! (Bonus info: Three of the Read more
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 Read more
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. Without further ado, I present you with The Rapping Elf. Read more
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!) Read more
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. He asks, "What do you see underneath this slinky slip?" Why, we see his big, bad masculine acting, of course! And we applaud it. Read more
