Members SoapDope Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Supposedly Y&R did one of the first breast cancer stories with Jennifer Brooks in 1975. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 I didn't know that about LIAMST. Yeah, your right about Days. Wasn't it Laura ? I remember someone said they showed her pearls break and spill on the ground. Bill Bell wrote that storyline too. I have read that Chris Brooks rape on Y&R in 1973 was shockingly graphic and violent for daytime TV. Anthony Geary played her rapist George Curtis.

Members SOAPSFOREVER Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 All the soap reference books list ATWT and EON as the first half hour soaps. They don't get into which aired first, which seems moot to me. They were both P&G shows and launched on the same day. For my money they should jointly share the honor as first half hour soaps.

Members GMac Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Was there a marital rape story before Roger/Holy on GL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapsfordays Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Days did the first crib death. First possession by a main character. First gay male wedding. I'm sure there are more but Days does a lot of firsts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Was GH the first official summer in the run storyline with Luke & Laura? Did anyone mention Katherine getting a facelift on camera on Y&R? Or the famous Nixon storyline on Guiding Light where Bert had a cancer scare? I've read that was the first medical storyline (minus birth and death). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 I don't think so -- but I think you're right. Margo Flax on AMC had the first facelift on soaps, but Kay's was the first performed on-camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted June 10, 2015 Members Share Posted June 10, 2015 Not counting radio soaps, would the first mob storyline have been the Rose Peabody shenanigans on Search For Tomorrow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted June 11, 2015 Members Share Posted June 11, 2015 Was Y&R the first soap to do a right to die storyline when Liz pulled the plug on Bill Fosters respirator in 1976 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
