You can tell it is sweeps when Soaps do the weirdest things like explosions, killing a big character off, having big couple wedding, some C-List singer performing on the show or have the virgin couple finally do it. As the years have gone on there are only so many places that can be blown up again, killing Stefano again or marry off Erica Kane again. So now they are trying new things like same-sex couples’ next stages and abortions, but none of the above could have prepared me for the current storyline on As The World Turns…sperm donor. That is so a sitcom storyline 20 years ago. And how much do you want to bet in May the father of the baby will be her arch-enemy, her brother, an alien or all of the above.
BTW did I mention of I love sweeps months for Soaps!!!
