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.
Not a Joke: James Franco To Appear on General Hospital
It's not April Fool's, I have not started abusing substances, this is an actual news story: James Franco is set to guest star on daytime soap opera General Hospital.
Oh and it's not just some walk-on role as a favor or a dare: Franco will star in a multi-episode arc, which will last for about two months, and he'll play a "mysterious character" (of course he will). What's more, he apparently approached General Hospital himself with the idea.
Sexy Perfume or Soap Opera Character?
I had so much fun doing the research for my New Fragrance or Soap Opera Character quiz, I just had to put together another one. Where do these writers conjure up these dramatically romantic names, anyway? Oh, the life of a soap writer.
Which Guest Star Are You Most Excited to See This Week?
November sweeps is here, which means appearances by big names on some of my favorite shows. We've already seen the likes of Samantha Ronson and Pharrell on 90210, but now we're getting to the exciting stuff.
Lady Gaga hits Gossip Girl tonight — check out a sneak peek here — before Melrose Place welcomes back Heather Locklear tomorrow night.
