Members Sylph Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I was wondering do any of you have a favourite recap site which you go to when you miss an episode or want to check a specific fact or something like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 I go to Soap Opera Digest's website to read recaps. They have the most thorough, though out recaps IMO. When I want to get facts, I usually go to soapcentral since they have those character synopses. They really need to update all of them, though. Kendall from AMC as an example : her synopses just ends at February 2009, when she was driving recklessly and almost hit Greenlee, who swerved over the cliff. The synopses just ends there, how annoying...lol One place I do NOT recommend to get recaps: SOAPnet.com. They have long, thought our caps as well but it's stupid because you have to actually click page 1, page 2, page 3 to read them fully (whereas with Soap Digest, it's just all one big page with about the same amount of content). I hate that because there's like, a few paragraphs on each page. They can fit that mess into just one page and they know it...And there's also ad videos screaming at you to the right every time you click, and the recaps are written in such a childish way.

Members All My Shadows Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Soap Opera Central. If I have the time/interest, I also read the transcripts at TV MegaSite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 soapcentral.com has really good daily recaps, IMO. They also have really good character synopseses, but like AllMyDaysatGH said, they tend to just cut off at certain events and they don't always keep it up to date. SoapNet sucks. SoapOperaDigest is good. Also, if you can't get soapcentral.com in Canada (which I think you can), if you just type in the characters names in Wikipedia, most of them have really thorough character bios that usually have really thorough facts and details for every storyline the character has been in...Also a LOT of the character bios on Wiki are directly copied from soapcentral, so they're pretty reliable.

Members Sylph Posted October 1, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Oooh, thank you all so much! I know there's a ton of them out there, but really wanted to know which others prefer and why! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 Woops, I don't know why I thought EricMontreal posted this thread. That's why I made the Canada comment! Haha, so I'll just leave that there in case anyone from Canada DOES read this! Haha. No problem, Sylph! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 1, 2010 Members Share Posted October 1, 2010 One thing that bugs me about SOC's character bios is how some soaps have tons of characters covered (case in point: ATWT has a page for Susan......Hughes, who never actually appeared on the show) while others have very few. You won't find many pages for pre-90s AMC characters, even long-running ones like Daisy, Ellen, Estelle, etc. And some, like Tom, just have a few paragraphs to cover like 20 years of storylines.
