As callous execs continue to dig up the soap opera's place amongst the pop culture landscape, stars who cut their acting teeth in the industry are speaking out on soaps being under siege. The Deadbolt, recently interviewed John Stamos, and while the actor had a lot to say about his buzz generating turn on Law & Order: SVU last night, it was General Hospital, where he played troubled rocker Blackie Parrish, that he spoke most fondly of. 

THE DEADBOLT: Since you started on daytime, I wanted to get your take about the recent losses of soaps (All My Children and One Life to Live) and what that medium gave you as a young actor?

STAMOS: Well, if it wasn’t for General Hospital, I wouldn’t be talking to you on this phone right now. I give a lot of credit to that show. You know, it really prepared me. Not even knowing as much, not even forecasting the way television has turned into - I mean, basically nighttime television works about the same. Not as fast but we have to work, as Neal knows, with the budgets and we have to shoot so much in one day. READ MORE

Glee mirrored storylines this week. Romantic Kurt (Chris Colfer) learned about sex, while sexually liberated Holly (Gwyneth Paltrow) learned about romance. One girl (Santana (Naya Rivera)) confessed whom she was really into (Britney (Heather Morris)), while another girl (Emma (Jayma Mays)) confessed who she wasn't (Carl (John Stamos)). Somewhere in between we got celibacy jokes, an underage foam party, and Puck (Mark Salling) and Lauren (Ashley Fink) contemplating a sex tape. And that's what you missed on Glee!

So glad Holly returned. She and Will (Matthew Morrison) have palpable chemistry and she makes him watchable, which is more than I can say for The Celibacy Club President. That's right, Emma is pushing that agenda hard to validate her pathetic sex-lessness. Holly’s entrance is awesome: “I dunno Hot Stuff (Will) sounds pretty laaaaaame.”
