Recommended Posts

That was around the time I got into DOOL too. I got into OLTL with the Marty's rape story. And I didn't really get into AMC until the baby switch story, but I've watched seldomly since 93. I started watching GH when SJB showed up as Carly. I had a major crush on her when she was on VR Troopers(yes I watched it LOL) so I followed her there.

I grew up watching ABC soaps with my family.

OLTL: Cord and Tina hooked me to the show

AMC: SMG playing a mighty fierce Kendall

GH: Sarah Brown as Carly

Days: Bo and Billie's romance as played by RKK and LR

Y&R: Amelia Heinle's debut as Victoria

B&B: Ridge and Taylor and later the Amber/Rick/Kimberly triangle

DAYS - I started watching when Carly was buried alive. It got me started on watching the show but Austin (PM) & Carrie was why I stayed with the show, and then I was just hooked. Later came the stuff with Sami, Bo & Billie and Hope's return...

I was always watching GL since I was little, but the storyline that got me hooked was with Alex and Fletcher stuck on an island and the return of Roger Thorpe. I still watched it religiously after that and kind of quit watching after 1994 because the show was just blah. Then, I started getting hooked again with Annie Dutton of course. I stopped watching GL after the budget cuts in 2005.

With DAYS, I started watching again with the Kristen/John/Marlena triangle. God I miss Kristen Dimera. :(

Most of my family has always watched soaps, so they were always a part of my childhood, but the first time I really follwed daily was when Frisco and Felicia started on GH. From the moment Frisco rips off her hat and realizes she is a girl I loved them! From there I got into Anna, and pretty much watched daily until Monty's second tenure, and then came back full force when Luke and Luara returned under Labine's team.

OLTL was my grandmother's favorite, but I really didn't get into it until Megan and Sarah arrived, then I loved it under Malone round one.

AMC I didn't even watch until SMG as Kendal Hart.

ATWT hooked me with Simon and Lily on the Island, and Rose is her twin. Carly going for her money and having Hal's baby, Barbara being burned. Hogan hooked me there.

GL I love, but only the old clips on Youtube. Had I given it a chance back then it would have all been about Holly/Roger/Alex/Blake/Alan-Michael/Eleni for me. I kind of got into GL during the Marina/Ben storyline, but then they made him crazy to prop Marina/Shayne, and I droppped it for good.

Days- I loved many characters, but the ones that got me hooked were Bo and Hope, and I still love them.

Y&R- Nina has a Chancellor baby, follwed by David Kimble hooked me there.

Y&R: Just absorbed it. My earliest memory was Lorie Brooks taunting her sister Lesley in a mental institution. I was hooked from then.

B&B: Donna Logan and Rocco were conspiring to get Bill Spencer photographed naked after he had published/gotten naked pictures of her.

More historically:

GH: Audrey Hardy tries desperately to conceal the paternity of her baby, Tommy. And Scotty Baldwin's mother goes crazy. After a lapse, Lassa Fever and Gloria Monty hooked me back in.

AMC: Erica Kane pretends to want a baby with Tom Cudahy, but she's really on the pill and opening a disco. Tom finds out and goes BALLISTIC. And again, later, Palmer lets his daughter Nina go blind, rather than let her be with Cliff Warner. Plus Jesse and Jenny in New York.

OLTL: Like everyone: Karen Wolek on the witness stand, confessing she is a hooker. And again this week, Gigi: "Translate. I don't speak bitch".

I was born during an AMC episode and watched all my life. But it wasn't until was 13 and the Phantom Erica storyline started that I got hooked. Susan was awesome, Vincent was really getting a chance to shine, and their chemistry together....OMFG. I've still yet to see anything like it. :wub: Their scenes in Erica's basement are probably my favorite ever on AMC. I laughed, I cried, I yelled, I gasped, and then I was sitting on the edge of my chair holding my breath as they almost shared a first kiss. What those two did in those scenes is going to be hard to top for me. Vincent should have won the Emmy for those scenes.

    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family 
    • We all knew that TT is busy so if she's off screen for a bit except for phone calls and/or visits.. then it is what is. Ashley was nicely used as support... which the writers should have been doing since day 1 so that viewers could understand why exactly she's on the show LOL Chelsea/Madison.... seems too good to be true... we shall see. Shanice as a PT... if it means more airtime.. I'm good.
    • Yeah, he's a mobster with Vanessa while his wife cozies up to mobsters as the worst mayor in America. 
    • He's too busy in Maryland with a younger blonde woman.
