What soaps do you watch?

Days 3 or 4 times a week. I honestly don't consider it too tough to get through, most days. I don't feel like it's nearly as much a mess as people around here seem to think! (Except I cannot handle Sami/Rafe and EJ/Taylor for too long...)

I check out one of the ABC shows about once a week. If I have nothing else to watch while I'm working out, I'll use the ABC Player app on my iPad and watch one of them. I never feel compelled to watch more, really.

I only have ONE LIFE TO LIVE now...but I used to include ALL MY CHILDREN in my viewing. For a time, during the early 90's I preferred AMC, because it was a bit more reality based and it always seemed to remember its past. Then after the 25th Anniversary the show took a bit of a new direction...Erica started kidnapping babies...Dimitri had an extra-marital affair with Maria...Palmer took after the likes of Vanessa...and it didn't get much better with a landmark abortion story being reversed in favor of science-fiction and Dixie dying from poisoned pancakes. I tuned back in when Julia Barr came on to wrap up Adam Chandler's story and actually started to watch daily up until Christmas. Just something about the current ensemble and the stupid things the veterans were doing...Erica stringing Jack along, which is more of a record then her combined nuptials; the Chandlers fighting amonst themselves in what was supposed to be a Cortlandt vs. Chandler epic, but it's just a mixed bag of unsubstantial characters...Ryan/Greenlee/Kendall overload....and the ruining of Damon, who could have been the next breakout character because the actor Finn Whitrock was really talented. I did enjoy Michael Nouri...but the character of Caleb is sooooooo soooooooo contrived, I mean he has a family tie to Palmer Cortlandt as like a distant relative. They should have just made him a Ross Chandler recast. Would Erica have had an issue with falling for Ross?

Yes, considering Ross was a convicted rapist, and Erica herself shares "a legacy of rape" with the other Kane women.

Although, if they had brought back Ross, and then gradually allowed him and Erica to become lovers, it would've made for juicy and exciting drama between her, Bianca and Kendall (among others).

Y&R everyday. It's probably the only one I care about or have any real investment in.

B&B a few times a week.

OLTL and GH (when I don't have [!@#$%^&*] else to do during that time, more often than not I watch with contempt)

Stopped watching Days regularly very recently. They refuse to do anything remotely interesting storywise and I can't waste 38 minutes a day on "EJ is psychotically obsessed with inflicting suffering upon Sami Part 472784". So really I don't watch any US soaps anymore. They're just not worth the investment anymore. This is coming from someone who used to watch 5-6 US soaps daily some years ago.

So now it's EastEnders and the Dutch soap Goede Tijden, Slechte Tijden (whatever bits are subtitled into English, anyway). That's about it.
