Hey so I am wondering....how do all of your boyfriends, girlfriends, husbands, or wives take to you watching soaps? As for me, well when my fiance found out about me watching AMC she told me, "Honey it's either me or the soap" so I said "Okay. Bye bye sweetie I'll miss you." LOL just kidding we are still together :)

I used to care whether my friends and significant others knew - but now I don't care. They either secretly watch too, or initially give me crap about it - but then realize I don't give two sh!ts what they say about it - then stop talking about it.

I got one ex to watch AMC though back when we were together....he loved Ryan, which I didn't understand.

My boyfriend will have nothing to do with me watching soaps. He gets bored very easy, so I have to watch them when he is sleeping. Good thing that for his job, he goes to bed really early. If we are both home and watching TV, I have to beg to watch at least one soap. Luckily for me, he will fall asleep by the time GH comes on.

I did get him hooked on the Hills, which is like a soap. Probably because he has a crush on Lauren. He gets jealous when I say that certain people are hot, even though I point out the hot women on GH to him. But he's not interested in them. Oh well.

My current "friend" used to watch Y&R back in the day so he doesn't say much of anything. My ex used to watch/fall asleep while I watched them and he never gave me grief about it. My ex before him always used to give me sh*t about watching them and that would piss me off cause I didn't critize what he watched.

My husband watches more soaps then I do he watches basicly every soap that's aired on the channels we recieve here.Most of those soaps are aired between 6 and 8 pm when I'm busy putting the kids to bed.He does the diner dishes between the commercial brakes and he also makes the coffee so I'm not complaining.One thing tho the only soaps he doesn't watch are ATWT wich is aired while he's at work and EE wich he simply doesn't like because of the characters accents.

My boyfriend has watched an episode or two with me but he isn't much for melodrama and we all know melodrama is essentially soap opera!

He though asks me sometimes what is going on. He has his video games, I have my soaps.

I don't have a significant other to compare soaps with, but the guy I'm hanging out with is Dominican and likes the telenovelas on Univision.

There was one guy I was set up with through a mutual friend about three years ago. We met at a coffee shop in Chelsea and somehow the subject of soaps came up. He said that he was a GH fan and that Days was disgusting and that I should be ashamed to watch it. I put five bucks on the table for the coffee, grabbed my coat and got up. He asked where I was going. I told him "Back to Salem."

My current BF isn't a big fan of DAYS but likes how excited I get when something good is happening on "my show." He was also a huge Sanata Barbara fan back in the day, and he will watch anything that has Louise Sorel on it.

      RIP: In Memoriam Thread

      The poster said "update", so they were likely following up on their own post on this thread about Pope Francis' funeral.   That is all.

      This is probably an unfair generalization, but I do say it with affection: I've always thought of Felicia (and by extension, Linda Dano) as "your mother's fabulous but slightly insufferable friend." Sort of a Godmommie Mame, you know?

      I am loathe to gatekeep but why is the new pope being chosen posted here? RIP In Memoriam thread is for those who have died. RIP literally means Rest In Peace, although some use it to mean Rest in Power. Either way the issue is death.

      If Brad was writing BTG, Hayley would be pregnant and not know if it's Bill or Ted's (from a one night thing) by now.

      Y&R: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By soapfan770 · Posted

      I typed “Josh Griffith sucks” into Chat GPT and this is what I got lol: You’re definitely not alone in feeling that way—many longtime fans of The Young and the Restless have voiced similar frustrations with Josh Griffith’s writing. Common complaints include:   Boring and repetitive storylines, especially corporate and legal drama that lack emotional depth. Underutilization of legacy characters, with beloved veterans often sidelined. Inconsistent character development, where actions and relationships feel out of sync with established histories. Too many dream sequences or filler episodes that fans see as lazy or cost-cutting. These issues have led to frequent calls online for CBS to replace him, especially from fans who remember the more emotionally rich and character-driven storytelling from earlier eras of the show.

      This show has become utterly unwatchable. I can't bear watching Liam's storyline. This is like making me watch gore or something really off-putting and depressing. And it's not about cancer. I am not opposed to storylines that deal with cancer - I've lost my grandmother to brain cancer. It's the way they are doing it. It's so in your face, without any nuance in the dialogue. It's like Bradley is saying - No... here. CRY! CRY! You have to! Otherwise you are not a good human being.  Liam is so done. I'm sorry to say it. This character is dead at this point. And not from cancer, but from BAD WRITING!
