Hey all. I am an educator in North Carolina. In about 5 weeks, I will be off for an 8 week summer vacation. I have always been a long time fan of AMC, OLTL and GH in the 80's, 90's and early 2000's but since AMC and OLTL were cancelled have not tuned in to the soaps much. I've also watched Days, Y&R from time to time. With my 8 week vacation on the horizon, can anyone recommend any soaps to tune into, if any?

Nothing on any of the major networks! I'm serious. Not one of them is proving why soaps should still be on air.

It's pretty sad when soap fans are telling you not to watch soaps - but with the current state of all 4 at the moment, that's about the truth. On a positive note, Days has Queen Eileen Davidson returning this summer, as well as KDP from OLTL - hopefully their story will be worth watching!

Believe it or not, there are some very good soaps still on the air. Such as "Maury," and "Steve Wilkos," and even "Trisha Goddard." Check them out, I highly recommend them all!

Days this summer should be quite good with the upcoming exits and returns.

Yeah, I heard some good stuff about it when they were taping it...five years ago.

Y&R if you must.

Days Always made a good summer show back in the day.....along with Passions.

Well I really like Own's "The Have and the Have Nots" its third season is premiering May 27th its a real old school soap, diverse, not pimping and propping favs just straight up and let the chips fall where they may. Here's an introduction to the show.

Tyler needs somebody to move the conversation along. I wish he wasn't do proud of himself. & actually ask for help or maybe where do he need to improve at.

ICAM! Tyler Perry could use a LOT of help!

Have and Have Nots? One would be better off sticking to the horrible daytime shows

As for the question, all the current soaps stink, some worse than others. I think Days shows the most promise for summer specifically bc of one return, which Im hoping is summer since we heard about it years ago

YRfan23's classic Young and the restless episodes being uploaded in the YR old articles thread.

The Haves and The Have Nots is great. I'm behind though. All the normal daytime soaps suck.
