For many years a soap set was integral to a character - their history, their identity, to the point where some soaps made a big deal out of moving (GL having Fletcher say goodbye to the home he'd shared with Maeve, etc.)

Is there any particular set you always associate with a certain soap character?

Bobbie and the brownstone.

Katherine and her mansion. (The longest running set in daytime right?)

The Quartermaine Mansion & the Quartermaines on GH. That set is synonymous with them.

As Jeanne Cooper always says in reference to the Chancellor Mansion, her set is the biggest. LOL.

Robert Scorpio and his Batcave hidden behind the sliding wall of his living room.

Bobbie and the brownstone.

Also from GH:

Sean and Tiffany and their penthouse

Lucy and Kevin and the lighthouse

AMC:

The Cortlandts and Courtlandt Manor

Benny and Donna and their apartment

Phoebe and Langley and the Wallingford Estate

Erica and Linden House

OLTL:

The Buchanans and the Buchanan mansion

I was just about to say Sean/Tiffany and their penthouse!

No, the Horton Living Room was in the first episode of "Days" on November 8, 1965 and still appears today.

The imposing black and white (and apparently expensive as hell) Clegg mansion was Capitol's iconic set. I wonder how it would have evolved over the years had the show lived even until the '90s.

I don't think Erica Kane ever had a set better than her '80s pink and mauve Linden House. That's the iconic Erica Kane set to me.

OLTL's Dorian had several sets and they were always just right for where the character was in life, in terms of priorities and even wardrobe. This penthouse set is my favorite:

It didn't last long, but Sydney Chase's penthouse in The City was so pitch perfect straight out of the gate.

I thought they retired it when Frances Reid passed, after the Alice's death storyline?

Jennifer has lived there since she returned to Salem.

Oh okay. Thanks. Sorry about that. I haven't been watching very much and somehow missed that. Though now that you mention it I think I did catch that the other day.

One of the soap sets I always associate with a character is Jack's apartment on Ryan's Hope. He got it when he was a young man, his first home, and he never wanted to leave, because it represented everything about him. Through marriage, separation, reconciliation, being widowed, raising a child, he never left that apartment.

For the majority of the last 30 years Jack Abbott has resided in the family home. Am I right in saying that he lived at the ranch when married to Nikki? I don't recall her living at the Abbott mansion.

He lived at the ranch, yes.
