ALL: The Soap Opera Slap
I’m surprised because I would think slaps didn’t really become a thing until the 1970s.

ALL: The Soap Opera Slap
Soap operas are kind of known for having slaps and catfights. I assume that wasn’t a thing when soaps first aired on TV in the 1950s though, so when did that become a regular thing to expect?

ALL: Lack of Body Diversity on Soaps
I think it has always been a shame that there is such a lack of body diversity on soaps, especially when it comes to plus-sized women since the target audience is women and most of them are probably not sizes 0-4. The only couples where the woman was plus-sized I can think of on soaps (at least ones actually written for) are Sofia and Neil, Craig and Nancy (and in the end they had him be closeted the entire time), Michael and Marcie, Coop and Ashlee (my personal favorite), and kind of Destiny and Matthew (of course she was recast with a super skinny, lighter skinned actress on the reboot).

What do you think was the last good year of each soap?
So you stopped enjoying soaps by the early 80s? I think most people consider the early to mid 90s to be the best of GH.

Did it ever annoy you that actors who were leads would put themselves in supporting
Yes, she always submitted in supporting. BW also submitted in supporting on OLTL even though Jessica was a lead because that was ES’ category.

Like Alicia Minshew and Rebecca Budig putting themselves in supporting despite being leads the last 5-6 years of All My Children.

I’ll have to recount. Maybe I switched them accidently. It’s mostly because of Erika Slezak’s 6 wins. I think it’s interesting that GH leads every category except that one where they’re near the bottom.
