Only a few weeks ago, we discovered the endless beauty that is Zarf, the only transgendered character on daytime tv’s All My Children. We were never soap opera people, but somehow Zarf/Zoe pulled us into a world of sensitivity and misunderstanding. When he was being accused of murdering various townspeople, we knew he was innocent. When he was locked up in jail, we made little “Free Zarf” signs, glued them onto toothpicks, and stuck them in our lunchtime paninis. When he sang, we wept. And when Adam kicked the ess outta him, we, too, bruised.
But it seems that ABC is slowly writing Zarf out of the show. While the rest of the cast hunts the town killer, it seems the writers are looking to move Zarf to an outside location to avoid any unnecessary attention. Well if it’s unnecessary attention you don’t want ABC, it’s unnecessary attention we will give. Because, as God is our witness, if you continue leaving Zarf off the screen, we will be forced to stop watching the show altogether.
Do you want ABC to “Bring Back Zarf”? Then do us a favor:
Then post it to your blogs. Add it to your Livejournals. E-mail it to friends and family. IM it to your Mom.
Together, we can make a difference.
Together, we can bring back Zarf.
