Port Charles because everyone made the supernatural storylines feel free. Great acting, writing, producing, etc all around. Chikenna @2_CLASSY_SASSY
Guiding Light because of the Otalia story with Crystal Chappell and Jessica Leccia Kat @katr03
Although I've watched many soaps over the years, #days has always been closest to my heart because I grew up on the great 80s supercouples. Which have stood the test of time even to this day! |
Stephanie @Soapfanfiction: Fave Soap Past: GuidingLight, ATWT, AnotherWorld Santa Barbara, AMC and Edge Of Night. Current Soap faves
Alvin Scott @Alvin_Scott Santa Barbara because I loved Cruz & Eden and I love CA Santa Barbara California #soapopera
Sabrina LPN @mom23girls9400 Santa Barbara, Passions and Days. Grew up watching Days. I watched several soaps throughout my life. Great stories
Michelle Mongelli @hotshotdiva24 Y&R because I started watching it with my grandmother and I always remember that.
Jewell @JewellKay My favorite soap is All My Children. It's been around me since I was 6 months old,my mom had watched it from the beginning.So I pretty much grew u with it.. What I loved about AMC they dealt with real issues,one that stood out for me,when the character Cindy passed away from AIDS,I thought it was beautifully written,or when they did a story on drunk driving and Brooke lost her daughter.What I like about soaps dealing with real life issues,I think it helps others that might be going through the same thing,and it brings out the actors great acting, I love when they pull you in with their emotions and make you feel what they are feeling..
DAYSDHsFAN @StephJLukas daysofourlives because, for the most part stayed true to its core; family, romance, intrigue. And DrakeHogestyn
Sheryl Donnell @SMDonnell
Always Y&R! Started watching in 75 at age 11. 40 years later I'm still hooked! Watched others but nothing like Y&R! Elissa Wynn @elissa1987
Passions.Great acting by Eric Martsolf & Lindsay Hartley turned poor writing into great tv. Plus Erin Cardillo was hilarious as Esme! TeamSteffyb @TeamSteffyb

Tricia Marie @TP111205 DAYS all the way!!! hey have consistently had the best couples & that's what keeps me interested in a soap. Great villains too!
Jo loves Misha! @JoAnne_Hankey As the World Turns many reasons. I first started watching as a young teen, as teenagers Lily & Holden were falling in love. Growing up w/them. Years later, coming back from college, I would tune in & it was like "going home to my family in Oakdale". Everyone aging w/me.When I was older I would watch tapes of the show when nursing my kids during at 2am feeding. Quiet house, just me, a baby & ATWT also my neighbor became head writer at the end and created my favorite character in the history of the show. Dr. Reid Oliver!

Mike LaValle @valleymike07
Thx! It’s hard for me to say between OLTL & GH.has disappointed me more. OLTL I never stopped watching so As for the why. OLTL was more consistently good. Never became a show I didn’t recognize. Was able to love it for decades.OLTL Eileen H. Hargis @eileenhargis1 I started with ATWT and GL with my grandmother when I was 11. That was 60 years,ago! I knew most of the Days and GH, know most of the casts.due to being friends with Chris Giutman and Ellen Wheeler who let me visit the sets. The same for YR BB Days and GH, know most of the casts. GL will always be my favorite, then YR, BB and Days and, ATWT, GH
Amanda @MenaB719 Days of Our Lives - it's the only one I watched semi-consistently. I watched others only a year or so than moved on.
Michele @rhda8386 GH 1979-1989 Romance, interesting friendships, adventure, humor, and fun umbrella stories that brought in large portions of the cast. The show, at that time, was able to tell a compelling, long story from beginning to end with great transitions & clarity. New characters were introduced as part of a story involving established favorites and worked up to leading roles & more airtime.
Jani @jani1881 GH & Days Both had the best super couples in the 80s
M @mccsis1 General Hospital of course ! loyalty to our Director Producer Finola Hughes Cypress Bayou xoxoM

Love #GH now but classic Dallas was the 1st soap I cut my teeth on when I was itty bitty so that remains my top. The reboot wasn't too bad too. Carolyn Topol
