The Otalia fansite, "Big Purple Dreams," has now reached 5,000 members. I just checked the official Telenext message boards for GUIDING LIGHT, AS THE WORLD TURNS and the ANOTHER WORLD revival, and it has only 3,776 members total.
I know those who run our favorite daytime programs sometimes like to dismiss soap fans on the internet as being a statistically insignificant but vocal crowd. But they are wrong, at least about the insignificant part. Everyone has internet access now and when this many passionate fans come together in less than six months for any reason it is NEWS.
Special kudos to this fan base for being the most positive group of fans I have ever seen in my lifetime.
