A New Dawn for Daytime's Twilight
Soaps In Depth - July 12, 2010
 . |
Hey, we call it like we see it here at Soaps In Depth, and the
way we saw ABC's 1997-2003 GENERAL HOSPITAL spinoff, PORT CHARLES, it sucked,
ironically, right up until Michael Easton (now ONE LIFE TO LIVE sourpuss
John) was brought on as Caleb, a latter-day Lestat obsesed with his late
wife's look-alike, Livvie (Kelly Monoca, now GH Mob moll Sam). But, even
though the show started giving viewers more fang for their buck, it was
before its time. Today, though? Oh no, now the time is exactly right for
PC to rise from the grave. The Twilight Saga is the cineplex's biggest
creature feature, THE VAMPIRE DIARIES is a scream on the telly, and you
can't turn on the radio without hearing Lady Gaga singing "Show me your
teeth!" (on her new The Fame Monster album). Even just using The
Twilight Saga for comparison, it's obvious that PC had -- and could
again have -- what it takes to succeed with 2010's bloodthirsty audience.
Turn the page and see if you disagree. (Hint: You can't disagree. We're
so right, it isn't even funny.)
