What soaps do you watch?

I'm an ABC fan so I watch ALL MY CHILDREN, ONE LIFE TO LIVE and GENERAL HOSPITAL

Me too! And thank goodness for the Soap Channel . I got hooked on the ABC soap operas during my maternity leave and if it weren't for the evening broadcasts and Sunday marathons, I'd be totally lost.

I watched the ABC shows for about 11 yrs now....I tape the shows daily and todays episode of ONE LIFE TO LIVE rocked!!!! Natalie seen Christian and Paul Cramers body turned up, Kelly and David is going to Pine Valley to confront Krystal and Vicki and Dorian is going at it again!! I loved both AMC and OLTL today..now time to watch GH!

Im a big "spanish "soap opera fan. They are more dramatic, more exciting to me. They end at one point, and a new one starts. My girlfriend, who speaks no spanish at all, loves watching them. She says she can follow the soap by the actors emotions, and body movements. She is hooked

Nothing, and i mean nothing, compares to the CBS soaps. They have the best storylines and the best actors---The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, As The World Turns and Guiding Light---YOU BETTER ASK SOMEBODY!!!

Young and the Restless all the way! Been watchin' it since the early 70's. Nice to see Malcolm back, though he's angry as hell at Neil. Bold and the Beautiful is okay, though Ridge is almost cartoonish in the way he sort of overacts.

I love Sydney Penny!
I love Sharon Case - I always look forward to the Newman pool parties, 'cause she's guaranteed to wear a skimpy bathing suit.
Mac's skirts are getting shorter and shorter

IMO, Y and R's greatest strength is in redeeming hateful characters - Michael, and Bobby. Kevin is getting a little more respect, too.

I check out All My Children and One Life to Live. Have big crushes on Greenlee, Natalie and Jessica. A little tired of the whole Santi storyline. Antonio is always tortured - sometimes I wonder if he and Sonny Corinthos are long-lost brothers...

General Hospital

Someone said that Tico Santi reminded them of Sonny Corinthos...I can see that but Tico seems to be a bit one dimensional....I hear that OLTL new head writer is getting rid of the Santi family...good!!!

I think that some of the most comedic stuff is on OLTL and GH....that David Vickers and Blair is so funny! Some of their lines have me dying!! Same thing with Tracy Quartermaine on GH! I remember a few months ago when Lois came back, she called her "a refugee from the bowling alley." THAT was too funny!!!

I must admit though, Nancy Lee Grahn has been acting her tail off in this storyline with Kristina..the girl that plays Sam has been too!! Jason and Ric too..all of them involved in that story has been doing some EXCELLENT work!!!!

I gotta give my props 2 Y&R. I started watching it 11 years ago while I was in college. I only watched the intro so I could learn 2 play the theme song on my keyboard, but eventually I said, ah what the hell - let's just watch the whole show. The rest is history, and the show is my favorite of all time.

I used to watch religiously when I was in hs, started falling off in college. Never got back on. It's the longest plot EVER, the acting is bad. OY

luv4u said:

I watch GH also.

CalhounSq said:

LOL sometimes the acting can be bad..LOL! (i.e Diego on General Hospital...nails against a chalkboard..LOL!) but when they have the vets on...and they are in a good scene/storyline...its pure amazing..like the BJ's heart storyline on General Hospital some years back or the Todd Manning/Marty Saybrooke rape storyline a while back on One Life To Live

I'm all about the ABC soaps. I just wish they would stop with ths baby drama and give Bianca her fucking baby already!

Janfriend said:

I KNOW!! I thought that when Tad found out, he was gonna expose it BUT 2 weeks later, he still hasnt told her..booooo! Then on top of that, they got David and Kelly from One Life To Live involved in it too


btw..David Vickers has gotta be the funniest character on soaps

DigitalGardin said:

What's great about David is that the same guy who played him way back is playing him now

...and the old Carly from GH is coming back and the new one is leaving

I watch ATWT, but we're behind two seasons i think here in Holland

Anyway I work fulltime so I don't see it very often since it's aired in the afternoon

Janfriend said:

I remember David Vickers that first time he was on OLTL back in the mid 90's...
how do you know that Sarah Brown is coming back to GH..I thought she was on another soap on another network...I ALWAYS liked her!! Now only if we can get the ORIGINAL Todd Manning back..I would be happy!

Occasionally,I work at home (usually twice a week) which gives me the opportunity to tune into 'All My Children'.I'm in love with Susan Lucci


Here are my thoughts...


***How many years will it be until Bianca is reunited with her baby??Damn,they're dragging this storyline out too long and it's really annoying!! Shame on Tad,David,Babe for not telling her the truth.

***Am I the only one who is disgusted by Ryan and Greenlee's marriage?? We all know that Kendall belongs with Ryan,and Greenlee is an annoying,immature brat.

***Adam has become so predictable and boring,they should just kill his character off.He's done all the evil that he can do.He's become a (bad) parody of himself.

***Why are Jack and Erica taking forever to get married? Set a date,and send out the invitations! We all know they're gonna wind up together

***I predict a HUGE secret is gonna be exposed: Ryan's brother is EVIL,and he's the one who shot Ryan!! Just watch...

I used to watch back when we called them "the stories" . Shows like "Love of Life" when Christopher Reeve played this mean guy named "Ben." And "The Young & the Restless" when David Hasselhoff was the original "Snapper."

Im kinda getting into Coronation Street. Its a fucking riot!

I saw in on the front of one of those soap opera digests. It said "Who's in" with Sarah Brown's photo and "who's out" with Tamara Braun's photo

Janfriend said:

I read the article and it's actually a rumor because Tamara's contract is up in Feb

DavidEye said:

MAN U have got to be kidding..David Canary who plays Adam/Stuart is one of the BEST actors on soaps! Him and Anthony Geary(Luke on GH) are the top 2. DId you see the episode on Monday when Adam told Stuart off...that was EXCELLENT! HE plays Stuart so WELL!!! They are stretching this Bess/Miranda story out but I read in a soap mag that by this time next month, it ALL will be revealed! With Erica/Jackson on their way to marraige!

DigitalGardin said:

Oh I agree,David Canary is a great actor.It's just that his character (Adam Chandler) has become too predictable,too evil and just plain boring to watch.He just does the same dirty tricks over and over and over.For example...how long do you think it will be before he finds some other young,naive,blonde chick (who looks like she could be his daughter,lol),sweeps her off her feet,promises her the world,then marries her and ruins her life with one evil plot after another? No doubt,there will be a baby involved.Everyone on the show will hate Adam when this latest "plot" is exposed,and he will be all alone....until the NEXT young,naive,blonde chick arrives on the scene...lol...his character goes around in circles and he never learns from past mistakes.

DavidEye said:

well u r right but to be honest..I would never wanna see Adam reformed..LOL!! BUT I would love to see him with someone that could reach deep down to his vulnerability..Dixie wasnt able to do it and Liza WAS able to do it on some level but I would LOVE to see him with someone that could make him very very vulnerable and we be able to see another side of Adam. But look at the character of Erica Kane..she seems to never learn either....but u gotta love her! Do u watch One Life To Love or General Hospital?
