I just recently started watching SOAP on netflix instant stream, and I have been instantly hooked. Being a longtime Golden Girls fan I was curious to see a show created by Susan Harris before it. The writing is amazing, the characters, the acting, I'm amazed at how brilliant this show is. And the biggest surprise to me is Katherine Helmond. I was only familiar with her from Who's the Boss? work, and she has captivated me here on SOAP. She plays the character so well, she IS Jessica. She makes me laugh with her comedic timing and performance, and she is so wonderful in the dramatic parts as well. I am so in love with her right now.

Anyways I just wanted to share this and see if anyone else feels the same way.
