It's not often that I get to cover a soap event for Soaps.com without packing a suitcase and getting on a plane. But thanks to the Soap Mania Tour, specifically the Cleveland leg, I was able to make breakfast for my kids, take in a soap event and get home in time to start dinner.

What, what ensues is part slapstick, part improve, part R rated and a completely enjoyable way to kick off yet another day of the Soap Cruise. The... » Read More

With Mexico in our sights, fans and stars woke bright and early to fuel up for a day of sightseeing on Sunday, January 25 2009. Attendance at the VIP breakfast was limited to the first 100 fans who bought tickets to Soap Cruise and some folks lined up an hour early!

Okay, truth be told, that was an accident. Sure they wanted first dibs on seating, but the real reason for the early line up was confusion caused by our overnight shift... » Read More

It's hard to say which event on the cruise proved to be the most entertaining. Each gathering is originally planned to have a specific purpose, but with fifteen distinctly different personalities on that stage, there are always some interesting twists. What started out as an attempt to trip one another up with soap trivia turned into a hilarious free-for-all for the actors as we departed Key West for Cozumel.
