Another Fan Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rico Posted June 9, 2023 Share Posted June 9, 2023 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.

muppy Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 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. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted June 10, 2023 Share Posted June 10, 2023 Everyone knows that there was one true soap opera for men in the 1980s and most of us were dialed in week after week. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlCowlingsTaxiService Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 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 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again similar to Kassie DePaiva, Tiffani Thiessen was easily the main draw for me. Her character was supposed to be from Buffalo as well I think lol.

Fleezoid Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 I was overseas in the military many years ago. It was back when AFN only had like 2 channels. Guiding light and General Hospital were the 2 soaps they aired. I worked Swing Shift and Guiding Light came on shortly after I got up each day. Suffice to say, that became my daily routine. Guiding Light was number 1, so when I shifted to day shift, I would set my lunch break to keep up with that one. 19 hours ago, ExiledInIllinois said: This scene always kills me! "Kevin's a skunk."

Ridgewaycynic2013 Posted June 15, 2023 Share Posted June 15, 2023 Except for the farce that 'SOAP' was, I have always hated the genre, whether badly acted daytime versions, or more polished evening versions. (Dallas, Dynasty, etc.) What I am surprised at is the number of Canadians that are gaga over 'The Young and the Restless'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Ferguson forever Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 (edited) technically not a soap opera but these guys are divas and the show plays like one.

muppy Posted June 21, 2023 Share Posted June 21, 2023 there is one genre of soap I have watched in my past and that is those produced in Columbia. Narco telenovela types galore out there on Netflex. The Mafia Dolls and Pablo Escobar el Patron del Mal are 2 I watched The women are always beautiful the guys not always hot but interesting and much more filled with overt sex and violence than what you see on American televison Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
