I did love Frankie's speech at the press conference, it epitomizes exactly what I think is wrong with alot of soaps today. The disregard for character, instead relying on outlandish plots or twisting the character to fit the plot.Elizabeth Kerri Mahonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07763642809052430107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10581466.post-14816721814917363152010-04-08T17:35:21.152-04:002010-04-08T17:35:21.152-04:00No, no, say it isn't so!

I'll now slink into a corner and curl up in a fetal position. <br /><br />Seriously, at least you read it. Other folks seem to be enjoying it, including Booklist which said it was a "world of wit and chaos . . . smart and insightfully written."<br /><br />And yes, I remember Iris Carrington. Who could forget Iris? <br /><br />Frankie, my protagonist, is named after Frankie Frame from Another World.<br /><br />Another World, btw, really mastered that haves-versus-have-nots story arc. It was a theme that ran through ALL their plots. I loved that theme and tried to emulate it with Frankie's shoulder-chip. :-)Libby Sternberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189737938551021370noreply@blogger.com
