Free to watch Vintage soaps episodes on mbc's offical website

They even have episodes from the 1950's!

http://archives.museum.tv/archives

You have to register, but it's a free. Once you do that, click the TV archives (as opposed to radio) then under the "Series Title:" box, you type in the name of the soap. Make sure to click the "Digital File Available" check mark at the bottom, then click submit. Then a list of episodes will come up if they have episodes of the soap and you just click "Play" under the picture and enjoy!

Here's what I have found of what they have to watch online for free:
