For more than 30 years, I've providing soap fans with the latest soap dish in my syndicated soap columns. Now, I am going somewhere I've never been before -- the Internet. Each week, I will be writing an exclusive soap column for soapcentral.com readers. It's Lynda Hirsch like you've never seen me before!


Over the years I have been asked to write for several Internet sites. I always said, 'thank you, but no.' There was only one site I wanted to work for -- soapcentral.com. And now, thanks to soapcentral.com founder, Dan J Kroll, here I am.
