T.V. confession

Okay, so – not to sound like a total freak, but here goes …

If you’ve visited the T.V. page recently, you’ll see that I’ve been watching All My Children.

Okay, so, to clarify – I’ve been watching the Bianca/Marissa (aka Minx) storyline, mostly on YouTube.

I’m not generally a soap fan (well, except for a short period during the 80s when I watched Guiding Light with my mum and sister, then a very short stint with Y&R with fellow housemates in our dorm common room – on at the same time as GL, so since I couldn’t beat the majority, I joined ’em), but when I hear such good things about two characters and their story, I had to check it out.

Anyway, I learned about the Bianca/Marissa thing on http://www.afterellen.com/ – and, even more recently, I learned that this week was going to be particularly special for these two AMC characters. Bianca and Marissa are getting it on! Finally! Kudos to actors Christina Bennett Lind (Bianca) and Sarah Glendening (Marissa), both straight, for playing these characters with such sensitivity and for keeping it real.

Big thanks to MinxFan for editing all the Minx scenes and posting them on YouTube – it was especially helpful for me to go back in time and catch up on their unfolding relationship. Here’s a crucial clip from yesterday:

I can’t wait to see the afterglow scene. These two are so great together and so very lovely – as actors and as their characters – and I have to say I’m partial to Ms. Bennett Lind.

What’s your guilty T.V. pleasure?

And, yes, there really is a lesbian bat signal.
