BRB - Setting the DVR


This looks amazing
tammyinlalaland 20th-Sep-2012 02:10 am (UTC)
GH IS THE BEST SOAP OF ALL TIME...

It even survived the Sonny era
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:11 am (UTC)
The City was ahead of it's time imo.

tammyinlalaland 20th-Sep-2012 02:12 am (UTC)
the City was such a bad rewrite of Loving..

josiefier 20th-Sep-2012 02:11 am (UTC)
Pretty sure I'm the only one who'd have Sunset Beach in the top spot.

FRANCESCA!! I would buy those DVDs so damn fast it'd make the NBC peacock spin for a year.
browneyedguuurl 20th-Sep-2012 02:23 am (UTC)
I liked SB a lot. I hated that Mary Sue Meg though. Annie was my girl.
browneyedguuurl 20th-Sep-2012 02:11 am (UTC)
UGH @ that picture of Ryan/Greenlee. Worst.couple.ever! And my fave soaps were Another World, Guiding Light and GH.

ALL MY CREYS! I loved Jake & Vicky so much! And Cass/Felicia as bff's, Cass/Lila, Donna/Matt. I miss it!
rhyana 20th-Sep-2012 05:34 am (UTC)
My OTP for anything will always be Frankie and Cass. Love them forever.

ANOTHER WORLD GIVES ME LIFE
apple_fries 20th-Sep-2012 02:12 am (UTC)
lol at the top two being from abc

but even though i've always only really liked NBC soaps, i still wish i had been into AMC. it seemed good.
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:14 am (UTC)
i miss Zoe Zarf



apple_fries 20th-Sep-2012 02:18 am (UTC)
omg... this looks gr8.

i watched scenes with SMG as erica kane's daughter too and it was so good
jigglemypuff 20th-Sep-2012 02:23 am (UTC)
LOL! Zarf was such a parody of himself. It's sad that AMC actually thought this was some kind of ground breaking stuff.
apple_fries 20th-Sep-2012 02:12 am (UTC)
and where's passions....
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:20 am (UTC)
_scarlett_icons 20th-Sep-2012 03:16 am (UTC)
passions was such a guilty pleasure.
professor_chaos 20th-Sep-2012 02:13 am (UTC)
I am disappoint that OLTL did not beat out AMC since it was always the superior soap imo but then again ABC treated it like the devil's spawn for so many years.

I'm also sure people are remembering how these soaps used to be up until about 5 years ago but now they are all pretty shitty. GH has improved slightly but not enough and will never go back to being what it once was. And I have no idea why Days hasn't been cancelled yet.
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:51 am (UTC)
everyone always forgets the awful years of soaps.
tammyinlalaland 20th-Sep-2012 03:03 am (UTC)
I remember the two decades of bad GH
buttertooth 20th-Sep-2012 03:04 am (UTC)
Oltl is responsible for the best soap character ever, Todd manning. For that I'll always be grateful. Gh is my favorite so you can probably guess that im loving that he's joined the show.
batty_gal 20th-Sep-2012 03:23 am (UTC)
I agree with all of this tbh.
ohsuplovely 20th-Sep-2012 08:20 am (UTC)
ia about oltl. it will always be #1 to me.
365reasonswhy 20th-Sep-2012 02:13 am (UTC)
Should be

Santa Barbara
General Hospital
Days of Our Lives
Another World
All My Children

Sorry CBS soaps, none for you.
dancedallnight 20th-Sep-2012 02:14 am (UTC)
Jax and Brenda alone make General Hospital #1 for me. I still watch their scenes on youtube from time to time

Honorable mention to AMC and Y&R. And never forget Sunset Beach.
josiefier 20th-Sep-2012 02:16 am (UTC)
YAY for another SB fan!
dancedallnight 20th-Sep-2012 02:20 am (UTC)
omg that show was my shit!! I wish NBC had kept it around instead of Passions. I think I still have the finale on VHS somewhere in my old room lol
withoutyoursmil 20th-Sep-2012 02:23 am (UTC)
URGH Jax and Brenda. SING IT! They were amazing.
joaniemaloney 20th-Sep-2012 02:16 am (UTC)
PASSIONS OR BUST.




...it was the only soap I ever watched. I still can't believe I followed it for years.
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:18 am (UTC)
remember the prom boat disaster!

apple_fries 20th-Sep-2012 02:19 am (UTC)
idc what anyone says, it was perfect. you could miss like 3 weeks of eps and come back and its still on the same day repeating every single line from 3 weeks ago.
withoutyoursmil 20th-Sep-2012 02:25 am (UTC)
lmao
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:27 am (UTC)
remember when Sheridan was in labor for an entire month! i'm not even kidding.

I scrolled up prepared to call you crazy, but I can see it. Weird. I've never noticed that before. I think it's the mouth.
brandon198403 20th-Sep-2012 02:21 am (UTC)
I loved Days during possessed Marlena and the Salem Stalker. Best daytime TV hands down lol
isntdaveone 20th-Sep-2012 02:25 am (UTC)


surfin_the_sun 20th-Sep-2012 02:24 am (UTC)
