I've been reading a lot about Tainted Dreams, a new soap opera created
by a producer I worked with on and off for years, and featuring the
talents (in front of and behind the camera) of a great many of other
colleagues from my half a lifetime in soaps. It amazes me, actually, that
without the structure or backing of a network, this intrepid and
dedicated group made something that could become the next generation of
the genre. They had an idea--a dream--and took steps to make it a
reality.
When you have a dream, but no structure, the "making" can be hard. But
when you are surrounded by structure, while "doing" may be easier,
dreaming can be a challenge. I have watched this group of people do both
the dreaming and the doing, and I am hopeful that the response to it
will show that you can dream and do if you really put your mind to it.
And that the genre that people keep trying to pronounce dead is still very much alive.
