All My Children

Years ago they had a storyline where Erica stole Maria's baby and pretended that she had adopted her from overseas. It wasn't my favorite story, but it was pretty well done and had (as I remember it) a good payoff. I really, really don't have any interest in seeing essentially that same story redone with Bianca and her baby. All signs seem to indicate that that's the direction they're going. Blech!

Add to that the way Days of Our Lives just finds new ways to plumb the depths of the Abbys of the Craptacular, and my lunch time television viewing is becoming less and less fun.

I remember the days when I enjoyed soap operas. Sure, there's always a storyline or two that doesn't click. And many stories really didn't make much sense. But watching was a pleasant experience. I miss those days.

It's a whole crossover with One Life to Live. The OLTL character has stolen Babe's baby (heh) for his sister, given Bianca's baby to Babe, and given out the story that Bianca's baby was lost. I'd be happy to be surprised and have this story turn out to be really good. But mostly I'm expecting it to be predictable and sigh inducing.
