Members Ben Posted August 15, 2008 Members Share Posted August 15, 2008 If we're strictly US speaking, then it's Sunset Beach (1997-1999), all the way. It was my first foray into the daytime gene pool, and nothing can replace it from the top spot. I still love it to this very day. Who could have predicted it's cult status? Then it's B&B (*1996-present). But there's not much difference between them, bar a few months-ish. * You'd be forgiven for being confuzzled over the dates, as B&B premiered in 1997, with '96 episodes on this side of the pond. Next is Days, but that's all hit and miss (more miss than anything else). I'm not all that fussed about it, but do tune in whenever it gets good, which is practically never. Sadly all I know is of the "crazy Days", and not its stable non-crazy era. ETA: How about you, Sylph? I could take a guess, but I'd probably... no certainly get it wrong.

Members Sylph Posted August 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted August 15, 2008 Well... Let me tell you one thing... If I ever decide to tell, it might be a surprise. It's not DOOL (except if it were Bill Bell's), it's not Y&R, it's not PSSN... It's not GL (a soap being blurred by too many visions that inhabited it).

Members Ilovedays Posted August 15, 2008 Members Share Posted August 15, 2008 Sadly i dont remember the Sven storyline, it was before my time. I would love to see that. My earliest memories of Another World were Janice stabbing Mitch Blake, then turning around and going after Rachel, and their fight in the pool. I remember watching that with my grandmother and how creepy it was when everything went silent when Janice and Rachel surfaced from under the water during the knife fight, and my grandmother thinking that it was Rachel that had been stabbed. I also vividly remember watching when Rachel shot Mitch in the Cory Stables. My first solid storyline memory was batshit crazy Alma dressed up in the Raggedy Ann Costume and locking Blaine in the closet. "Join us each weekday at this time for the continuing story of Another World!" Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skiman12082004 Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 My favorite soap will always be Santa Barbara. I have loved a few others since namely Port Charles, Sunset Beach, Loving, The City and Generations. I almost forgot Bold and Beautiful, but that's only because I hate it right now.

Members DaytimeFan Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 My heart belongs to Y&R. Then it belongs to AW, then DAYS, then B&B. All of course touched by Bill Bell. He was MY kind of writer. I also enjoyed 80s and 90s GH and AMC. After 2000 those shows fell to absolute sh*t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members y&r_fan Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 Y&R. Duh. Yes, even during the Latham era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I think it will always be The Young and the Restless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JamesF Posted August 16, 2008 Members Share Posted August 16, 2008 I have three by continent. Coronation Street, Neighbours and The Bold and the Beautiful. Unfortunately for the first time in 15 years, I have little to no interest in anything that happens to/on the last soap of that list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
