The object of the game is simple. Ask a question about the world of soap opera, whether on-screen or off and the first person to answer it correctly gets to choose the next trivia question. I'll start with an easy one ...

Who is highly regarded as the mother of the soap opera genre?

So do I have to wait for you to say, "That's correct!" to ask my question?

Let's make this more difficult...now that I've said that watch this one get solved immediately.

Name every soap that had a different working title than the one which made it to air.

If you are 100% positive with your answer, you are allowed to move on. If there's doubt, wait for the questioner or someone else to confirm your answer.

Carl, it's SFK's turn!

Oh sorry. No one told me I had to actually read all the words.

I'll ask this after SFK then.

Carl is evil!

Here are some others:

Ryan's Hope - A Rage to Love (or Live, I forget)

Search for Tomorrow - Search for Happiness

One Life to Live - Between Heaven and Earth

General Hospital - Emergency Hospital

AMS - OLTL was actually Between Heaven and Hell! Unless they later changed it to that as well before settling on One Life to Live.

Crap, that's what I meant to type!

Everyone did great. If there are any others I can't remember them. I had forgotten a few of those listed. I still can't believe anyone wanted to have LOVNYC as a title.

There's conflicting information, but I always read back then that that was never meant to be the actual title, just their name for the project in its planning stages. But yeah, when the title "The City" was unveiled, I remember a letter to SOD from a fan saying that they should have stuck with LOV<3NYC. I thought "The City" was pretty uninspired myself.

LOL at "Carl, it's SFK's turn! " I love you guys.

Y&R-The Innocent Years

and from primetime...

Dynasty - Oil

Pacific Palisades - Brentwood (changed because of O.J.)

New question please!

Someone ask another question! Cause I want to answer one, LOL.

Hmmm, let's see... it's so hard to come up with questions for such a knowledgeable group!

What three former soap stars were college roommates?
