If you’ve been paying close attention to my reviews, you may have noticed an occasional reference to a soap opera or two. That’s because, starting in elementary school and lasting through college, I was obsessed with them. And since these were, for the most part, the days before VCRs and DVRs and SoapNet and the Internet, if you missed that 3:00 p.m. viewing, it was gone forever. I spent several years arranging my schedule around General Hospital. That is, until my own life – my love life, anyway – starting resembling a soap opera of my own. And that made me wonder – would my dating life have been more “normal” had my obsession with soaps not geared me to expect Friday cliffhangers, strange twists and turns, and bizarre love triangles?
