^Me too on the last one. I hum the old FOTH theme from GH all the time.

 

I think men that are on soaps are at least 5x better looking than men who are in Hollywood (movie stars, primetime stars, musicians, etc)

During the summer when I was 12, I taped the entire Bo, Hope, Larry and Megan storyline on my portable cassette player by holding the cassette player up to the speaker on the TV.    Then I would listen to the audio over and over until I could repeat the dialogue from memory.

As a middle schooler I used to record myself on audio cassette tape doing Days fanfics and AW/ATWT/GL crossover fanfics.....I still have them.

I used to love Eugene and Calliope on DAYS and was just crushed when they left. 

 

I loved Luna on OLTL and cried when she died.

The first few years I watched the Daytime Emmys, I would get very angry if anything but CBS soaps won awards.

 

(boy are those days long gone)

[Soapsuds]

The day Lily found out that Iva was her mother I stayed home and watched & missed a family funeral....lol

I got angry with my brother who broke my tape of the Daytime Emmy Awards the year Rent sang "525,600 minutes" the same night I recorded it. I've never forgiven him. LOL.

When I write my soap fanfic, I literally act out the scenes to make sure the dialogue is right and sounds like something the characters would say.

Imagine me playing Erica Kane, Skye Chandler and Hayley Vaughan...All in the same scene.

I used to spend hours in front of the mirror doing my own "shot" for various soap opening credits. At one point, I edited a picture of myself and laid it over a picture of a local plantation home, OLTL 80s-style.

 

I wrote an X-rated one-shot fanfic about Rex and Jared from OLTL.

 

I used to literally get down on my knees and pray to God for SOAPnet, and I'd constantly tell my online friends that God hated it me because he refused to let me have it. Serious talk.

When I was in high school we had a video project and I decided to make it a soap opera. There were only two actors in it, me and my friend. I played a character, that characters twin brother, the characters twin sister, and the characters enemy who had plastic surgery to look like him.

When I was a teenager the magazines I hid under my mattress were.... soap opera magazines

Awww Remind me of when I use to go buy Soap Opera Digest, Soap Opera Weekly, and that other small soap magazine ( i think Soap Opera News) and get to the check out and say " I these the ones mom wanted...."

I used to act out hypothetical All My Children scenes as my hypothetical character in the mirror.

 

You, too?  I used to pretend I was Erica's new assistant (and Joan's replacement) at Enchantment.  I also used to practice my speech for when I'd win Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series.

I'm dating myself here, but back when I was in college back in 1963-1967, I scheduled my classes around a new soap opera called General Hospital.

I thought it wasn't interesting then.

I loved Luna on OLTL and cried when she died.

 

I cried for Luna too. I thought she was great (I was maybe 8 when she died). I was shocked to find out years later that a lot of OLTL fans hated her. 

 

I spent hours in middle school cutting up the soap magazines to make scrapbooks. Sometimes I hid in a corner of the grocery store and ripped pictures right out of the magazines if my parents wouldn't buy. 

 

I faked sick on the last day of third grade to watch Noah and Julia's wedding on AMC. 

 

In junior high, I thought the Last Blast gang on DAYS were literally the coolest people in the world. I'm still sad they never got that rumored Saturday morning spinoff. 

[Khan]

I'd disagree, and I wasn't even alive then, lol.  By my estimation, GH was solid from '63 'til maybe '72.  Then, it had a low period for the next four or five years until Doug Marland and Gloria Monty took over in '77.
