Ok , the secret be out ... I be a closet soap opera fan . I watch as the World turn and Guiding Light regularly , and occasionally all my child . this magazine be ideal for someone who be a casual viewer and only follow one network . the writing be that great , although it be not bad , per se . it be just very elementary . other magazine about soap have more intelligent critique of act and story . the `` spoiler '' be not as good as in other magazine , either , and the recap be not as up to date as in sod or spw . overall , for what it cost , I would say just get Soap Opera Digest or Soap Opera Weekly . it be a bit better than Soap Opera Update , though , which be why I give it 2 star as oppose to 1 .
