sorry if this seems kind of rambly...

Most of my viewings of soaps has been an on and off thing up until last summer.

I didn't gain much of a serious interest in soaps until the late 90's and there are few things I remember from that time. The shows that I watched during that time were Days, Sunset Beach, GL, and ATWT. I didn't really get into AW in its original run, but I did get into it and enjoy the reruns before SoapNet removed it.

I watched Passions from late 1999 to around 2002. I did come back briefly a couple years ago when I heard Marla Gibbs would be on the show, but then I lost interest again after about about 2 weeks and haven't seen it since.

I watched Y&R and B&B on occassion back then, and I still do from time to time when the interest peaks in me. Especially B&B last Christmas.

As of last summer I've been watching ATWT and GL again, and as of a few weeks ago Days, more on a daily basis.

I've also been watching Ryan's Hope on SoapNet for a while. I've seen almost a year's worth of that show and I plan on continuing to watch to see the early years.
