April 14, 2013 by

A few months ago, I was asked to participate in a Change.org effort to send a message to the soap operas that “rape does not equal romance.” I declined. Why? Well, I do agree with the message but  I also know the soaps. And I thought it was pointless and wouldn’t work. I really regret […]
