The Slow Demise of Super Soap Weekend!

With the recent blow from Mr. Brian Frons, announcing via SOAPnet.com that this will definitely be the last year for the beloved event Super Soap Weekend, it has many fans divided, some are happy , with the hope that his promises of a new Soap Nation will somehow bring their faves to their neighborhoods, and there are some who feel these are empty promises once again, and it is just another sign of the Soap World crashing around us, and is slowly heading towards the demise of  Daytime as we know it. For some fans, SSW wasn't just about meeting the stars , it became a tradition for soapfans alike to get together once a year and be with those they have become friends with only because of the avenue of SSW allowed it to happen. Some have even called it their own version of a sorority. It is truly sad that TPTB, once again has decided for every fan in the NATION, they now call "Soap Nation" .

Join Stardish Radio, and fans like you, in a discussion of this BOMB that has been dropped on daytime tonight

 @ 10 pm est. www.stardishradio.com

The list for The Final SSW will be coming out sometime today, and I will post it as soon as it does..

Stardish Radio

I want to say thanks to everyone who has vistied the site! I am really excited about this! I have met several new possible guests, past guests and even listeners while I was In NY 2 weeks ago, and it was great. I hope you will all sign up for the email news alerts, and put your wishes for guests down in the Guest Book.  It is a place that the actors/actresses representatives can go to see how much their clients are requested on Stardish Radio! We need to show them that you guys really want to connect with your faves!  You see some reps don't think it is important, or necessary for fans to connect with their favorite actors or actresses, but we know that is just completely not true. Don't get me wrong, Stardish has had many,many fabulous guests , and the idea  and the plan is to have many more! So let's reach for the Stars so to speak, and make your opinions, and wishes heard!

Talk to you soon
