Members allmc2008 Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 What are some soaps that cancelled/went sour before you became interested in them (or the genre). I wish I had gotten into: RTH RH ATWT GL AW SFT EON Classic Y&R Capitol TD SaBa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I wish I had been alive to see LOVE IS A MANY SPLENDORED THING and WHERE THE HEART IS. From everything I've heard about those two over the years, they sound very intriguing to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 The Edge of Night would be one for me for sure. I was alive for the last few years of its run, but I was very young and my mom had stopped watching it by then (we watched AW/DAYS/Texas at the time). I've heard nothing but great things about it. I also wish I was alive for ATWT and AW in the 70s. Both sound like they'd be right up my alley- everything I read about Susan Stewart from back then is fascinating. And I'd love to see the Rachel/Steve/Alice triangle, Rachel & Mac's courtship, and everything with Janice/Mac/Rachel/Mitch, ESPECIALLY St. Croix.

Members allmc2008 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I would love to see all of EON. That is the most intriguing. Wasn't Susan Lucci on LIAMST for a while?? I know Donna Mills was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I just wish i were able to see all those lost 60's/70's episodes of any soap, particularly OLTL since I have become somewhat interested in classic episodes. Y&R/B&B are obvious ones. I wish i was able to watch the entire run of both shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 '70s AW and OLTL. It surprises me that I don't automatically say '70s AMC whenever this question is asked, but for some reason I feel like I have a "handle" on it. Maybe because enough of it has survived and been shown? I have faith that I'll see the entire runs of SB and CAP someday. Add me to the list for EON. I always get a kick out of fan memories of watching the show after school. I think I would have dug watching stunning Marla Adams do her thing as Belle on SS.

Members allmc2008 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 As I always said regarding AMC: Compare an episode from the 70s to the 80s and you can still see how they are the same show. Compare an episode of AMC from the 80's to one of the 90s and you will get the same experience. But if you get a random episode of AMC from the 70s 80s or 90s and compare it to the 2000's you will be watching a totally different shows. Basically, AMC held onto its core longer than OLTL did. I do think, if Agnes was motivated, she could help bring the show back to its roots the same way with AMC. But she would need help in learning 35 years of history that she didn't write.

Members robbwolff Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 What is RTH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 RTH is Right to Happiness. It was a spin-off of Guiding Light than ran from 1941 to 1960. Never made it to TV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapgirluk Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 any pre 2005 ones. as except for 1 year of Days & a few B&B i've not seen them. A minus of being in the UK lol I'd especially like to watch AW & Loving, I think youtube has some AW that are in order or it did. I've been meaning to watch them for at least 3years lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I get what you mean--I also think OLTL seemed to go through more changes than AMC did over that decade. Still, I'd love to see either from the 70s heavily, if that counts. Out of the canceled soaps I've never seen even one episode of, Where the Heart Is (which sounds crazy) and Lovers and Friends/For Richer For Poorer top my list.

Members soapgirluk Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 I've lost the AW channel lol, it was back before youtube changed you clicked 'tv' then 'soaps' & was about 100 or so eps all in order lol I see a few eps are up though, i'll just have to try put them in a little playlist. I own the Book and AW sounds really good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted October 3, 2013 Author Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 Off Topic but was Somerset Popular?? What was the diffrence between Somerset and AW?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted October 3, 2013 Members Share Posted October 3, 2013 All soaps kinda soured by the time I started watching on my own in 2001, but only considering ones that were cancelled and no longer on the air by then, I'd say my top pick is Love of Life. The entire run and its different formats intrigue me very much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
