Will anyone admit to enjoying watching soap operas on TV?

[Another Fan]

Every damn day of late feels like I walk into a soap opera where I work.  And well imo the whole “Josh Britt” stuff has a soap opera feel to it.

 

 

I never really followed soap operas but I will admit to really liking Kassie De Paiva a lot.    A former soap actress.  Very beautiful and good actress.  Funny personality in real life interviews as well.  Had leukemia but seems to be doing OK.

I definitely don't enjoy watching soap operas on TV.  Haven't thought about them in probably 30 years.

 

A number of big time actors/actresses have come up through the ranks via soap operas.

Many years ago, I tried watching Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman when it first started, but couldn't get into it. Loved Fernwood Tonight though.

 

Before that, I wanted very badly to watch Dark Shadows, but the ABC affiliate (Ch. 7) wouldn't carry it. Maybe  they had to decide between that or Commander Tom.

The only soap opera I watched growing up was called WWF

that was a long time ago. I never got in to general hospital soap but remember the luke and laura drama as my sister watched after school before I could have the tv to watch M*A*S*H.

The only good soap opera was 'SOAP'.

Well sometimes those 30 by 30 sports shows they tend to over dramatize it a little 😅

I was an avid Young and the Restless watcher for decades like mid 70's until about 5 or 6 years ago I waned off. I used to avidly watch that show with VCR tape

 

recorded for when I got home from work for years.

Everyone knows that there was one true soap opera for men in the 1980s and most of us were dialed in week after week.

If you don’t watch Mexican soap operas, you’re missing out

In college, we’d head over to a Main Street watering hole after class for a pitcher and watch All My Children … we aspired to be Tad Martin, enjoying the “charms” of girlfriend Liza and her hot mom 🤪

Although now I am going a bit off topic...this reminded me of a story I was told that during the offseason/preseason when the Bills are in town sometimes they don't have anything to do during the day and some guys would just go hang out at the Big Tree and watch Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune lol

In high school, it was Guiding Light, since it was just starting at the same time we were getting home.

Following all the Steff Diggs stuff...and then sprinkle in some of the Jack Eichel stuff....I just came to the realization following a pro Sports team is indeed following a Soap Opera! 

 

Soap Operas for dudes 😄

Especially once 'Alien Burt' arrived. 😁

My buddy and I used to watch General Hospital after school.

This scene always kills me!

"Kevin's a skunk."

"Kevin gets all the girls."

"He sure got Nikki."

 

😆🤣😂

Did you guys cry when Laura got married to Luke?

 

And... Speaking of BS... What was up with that Mikkos Cassadine "weather machine!" I'd like to see him deal with GlobalWarming!

I watched All my Children for years at work during lunch
