But, it worked for B&B, which only had the Forresters and Logans to begin with. Whenever they tried introducing a third family unit, they failed.
These types of discussions are always a bit conflicting for me as a European, because the US soaps that have been a huge hit internationally are, generally, the ones that are a bit different, yet, obviously, we need them to also be a hit in their origin country, which usually means the opposite of what works for us. 😂
Maybe the original intention of creating prime-time in daytime was too ambitious to really make work. I’ve also come to see that, generally, Americans don’t adapt well to change, so anything that is too different, or trying to reinvent the genre, are never going to be accepted as a soap that plays it safe with a tried and tested formula.
