Was it Days of our Lives?  Santa Barbara?  General Hospital?

Not sure, but wasn't Lily Walsh kidnapped every other week on ATWT?

DAYS for sure.  The women on that show were always in danger and being saved by their man. 

 

When I was a kid GH and DAYS were my favorite soaps.  And on GH you routinely had women in on the action, capable.  Anna, Bobbie, Monica, Felicia, Tracy, Tiffany, Lucy etc...while sometimes in danger they were rarely damsels in distress.

 

DAYS of the same 10 years was full of them.  Huge difference in how the women were written.
