Okay, Tishy already knows this, but the rest of you don't.I am a soap-aholic. I keep up on EVERY soaps storylines through Soap Opera Digest (I have been a faithful reader of that magazine since I was about 8 years old when it first came out and was a MONTHLY mag...now it's weekly).
I started watching soaps as a toddler with my mom....I remember Kay and Jill fighting over Phillip Chancellor the FIRST also Lightsy! LOL! And the Brooks and Fosters .... Y&R's premier families....which have now been replaced by the Newmans and Abbots. I've watched DOOL since then as well and remember when Brooke (Bob Anderson's daughter) burned her fingers intentionally so she would have no fingerprints because she had a new identity and didn't want anyone to trace her. I used to watch Search for Tomorrow (Jo! I loved her!) and Sommerset (a spin-off of Another World), and Another World and Texas (another spinoff) and Santa Barbara and Sunset Beach and Capitol and For Richer, For Poorer and Dark Shadows (reruns...I'm not quite old enough to have been around for the originals) and Love of Life and Ryan's Hope and Generations (Vivica Fox baby...wooo hoo!). Heck, at one time or another, I have watched every soap ever shown from 1972 on!
I LOVE SoapNet! It is my favorite channel! Every night before I go to bed I watch the Another World reruns! LOL! I wish they could get the rights to the reruns of GL, ATWT, Y&R from like the 70's. I know ATWT is good now, but I believe it was at it's best when Doug Marland was alive. That man knew how to spin a tale like no other! Do you remember Doug Cummings (played by John Wesley Shipp) and his obsession with Kim (who was the Empath on an episode of the original Star Trek) back when Julianne Moore played Frannie/Sabrina? It was CHILLING!
At this point in time, the shows I watch religiously are AMC and OLTL. I catch my fair share of GH too. I STOPPED watching Days after they killed off Alice, but now that she is really alive, I have been tuning in occasionally. I used to LOVE Passions when Timmy and Tabitha were on...my very favorite episodes were when the Prom boat was sinking and Tabby and Timmy were in the water and he yells "HELP! HELP! Save Timmy from the Jaws of Death!" LMAO! Way too funny! I was sad also when he passed away, he was the only reason I would tune in!
As Tishy can attest to, I can and have talked about soaps for hours on end. Any time there is a soap-related thread, I will be here! LOLOL!
Since there seems to be quite a few of us here, we should come up with some type of Trivia Game every week or so. I had such a blast coming up with remembering Weltek's story line that she was thinking of. Maybe we could do something like that?
Okay, I'll shuddup now. I do believe this is the longest post I've ever written on these boards! LMAO!
MM Maybe this world is another planet’s hell
