Hit..Not that there's anything wrong with that on AMC (Soap Opera Weekly - February 4, 2003) Everyone has heard the four most dreaded words ("let's just be friends"), so viewers could easily empathize with Bianca's broken heart when Maggie finally rebuffed her on Jan. 6. Maggie suggested the pair hang out, and Bianca impulsively decided to let her feelings hang out. "Are you asking me on a date?" Desperately clenching Maggie's hand, Bianca begged, "I need to know what we are." The script was sensitive, but more importantly, treated this unrequited love like any other (read: straight) romance: one party unwilling to commit, the other desperate to do so. Unfortunately, that script pointedly avoided the word lesbian as well as any real physical contact. Throughout their confrontation, Eden Riegel's Bianca was animated, her hands flailing haphazardly. Elizabeth Hendrickson's Maggie was withdrawn, her expression flat. Hendrickson imbued Maggie with just as much longing as Bianca, but toward a different goal: She wanted to separate herself from her twin, not just as a person but in her sexual identity. Maggie was acting just like a guy - evasive, foot-shuffling, slightly jokey, unable to find the right words. Finally she just said it, plaintively: "Bianca, I love you, I really do...but I'm into guys." Bianca was stunned but silent; she stared in disbelief and blinked her wounded eyes. Then, with a slight head shake she croaked "OK," and forced a grin. "Well, sounds like an answer, not a question." Apologetic, Maggie offered her support, but Bianca insisted she "wants what every girl wants - y'know, romance, a lover." She wanted to know where Maggie stood, and her efforts reminded everyone of the adage: "Be careful what you wish for, because you just might get it." The many fans who wanted a Bianca/Maggie relationship (or at least some plot movement) may not have gotten what they wanted, but the performances - which captured the uniquely awkward agony and utter embarrassment of unrequited love - were all fans could have asked for.
