OT: anybody watch soaps?

[koolbreeze]

if so which ones and why?!?!?

[Silver]

Days of Our Lives.

Just because I've been watching for like 15 years, AND I CAN'T STOP!!! I wish I could. It's sooooo stupid. :rollseyes:

[koolbreeze]

Me too!! i want to stop... i just listen and if anything good happens i'll look up. i also watch Passions and Young and the Restless.

[brendajos]

i have watched Days all my life...my whole family has been a family of Days watchers. Dad took his "nap" each day from 1230-130 when Days was on. My brother planned his college courses around Days. When i was in high school we would watch it in band class on the days that the jazz band rehearsed (imagine 20 high school kids in an office the size of a cubicle watching days on a 9 inch tv!...lol) My mom STILL tapes it every day and watches it later.

i rarely watch it any more because i am almost always at work when it is on. However if i am at home i can't help but turn it on. I don't know how you could POSSIBLY think it is stupid though... :rollseyes: ....lol

i LOVED Another World and Santa Barbara back when they were on....never really got into any of the others and Passions freaks me out whenever i flip through it....

[koolbreeze]

yeah Passions is a little off the chain. its actually worst than Days but better than Days :?eyebrow: ... if that is possible!

I decided to give soaps a try when passions first came on :rollseyes: turned me off of soaps for good.. Sometimes I will flip over to see if the same thing is happening.. I wish all story lines would come out and they would moooooooovvvveeeee onnnnnn lol then I might go back to it

[koolbreeze]

tellme about it. some story lines go on FOOOORRRRREEEVEERRRR. i think that is judt annoying!

but i did get DH hooked on Passions and YR

My mom had followed Guiding Light since it was on the radio, so big sis and I got caught up in it, too. Then YR. Then As the World Turns. I haven't seen them in at least a year. This is the first time in my life that I don't have a clue what's happening on any of them.

ATWT is my absolute favorite, though. The Lily/Holden teen love story played out when I was in my impressionable teens.

Ok, you're all going to think I have no life when I answer, but....

I watch Bold & the Beautiful, As the World Turns, and Guiding Light.

It all started about 14 years ago when my sister and I would spend summer afternoons at my Grandma's house. She didn't have cable and watched all those soaps (including Young & the Restless, which I no longer watch), so we watched along with her.

And now that I have Tivo, I can't stop watching, even though B&B maddens me most of the time!! ATWT is my current fav. Sara, you may be sad to know that Lily and Holden are on the rocks (again!)

I will justify my soap watching by saying that this is when I do most of my knitting--I just look up when something important happens.

Oh and even though I live in Santa Barbara, I *HATED* that soap when I was a little kid--I used to run out of the room when the theme song came on.

Hooray though, first post for me! To think, I've been lurking around here for a few weeks now (being a pretty new knitter) but it took a SOAP topic to draw me out of hiding! :D

[koolbreeze]

thats ok as long as you did join... thats all the matters!!
welcom, take shoes off... stay awhile!


i watched Guiding light breifly, only cause there was nothing else on between classes and i had to watch something or go to sleep... :zzz:
