Agree completly. Kinda like when Opal had a problem with Michael Delaney coming out in class and Palmer did not.


Yes, i know i couldn't believe it when Opal of all people was homophobic. I guess breathing in all the fumes from hairspray at the Glam-O-Rama went in and messed up her head.


Congrats to Kathy Griffin on her second consecutive emmy win!

Right, and that Maria was a maid at the time he slept with her, so he clearly doesn't care that much about who is or isn't poor. Even more hypocritical was the fact that later he briefly dated Carlotta.


Coming back to this point. It was probably a case of "do as I say, not as I do."

I think soaps need characters like this. Sadly, there are homophobic, racist, and snobby people in this world, and I think a soap really gives itself more credibility for addressing these types. The same can be said for Todd's rapist charcter. I'm interested in seeing what message they ultimately send about Todd and if he will be facing serious consequences.

Racism is very different than homophobia.

Didn't Opal also have issues with Jenny being friends with Jesse?

Of course it was later revealed that Opal had a child with a black man.
