Nobody did crazy ass like Passions, though! That soap was born to be over the top. I think Passions and Port Charles were the tipping point for over the top supernatural soap opera drama. After those two went off the air, soaps pulled back from being really out there with the demon possession, vampires and witches, possessed puppets storylines. But I feel like that's always been a strain of American soaps, at least since Dark Shadows. And it's just not really present in the soaps that are left these days. Or at least, I don't think it is. I'm not really up on the latest plots.
It's all about choices, Faith. The ones we make, and the ones we don't. Oh, and the consequences. Those are always fun.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Exactly. AHS was too gory for me, but I'm all up in here with Bette and Joan.

Unrelated but related. Can we post photos here, now, because I have press access to so many pretty photos.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I just saw that they've been keeping AHS S6 COMPLETELY SECRET, which is kind of neat. No one knows what the season is about, ha! Or even who's in it! Oh, AHS.

It's kind of weird. It premieres Wednesday, and we still don't know anything about it. I didn't even realize it was starting until I took a look at tvline's premiere calendar, because the title is always changing, I would have missed it.
