Poll question: Favorite Daytime Soap Opera

CONFESS

You love them and you follow them. I do!

I am off work on Mondays and if I'm at home I'll watch "The Bold and the Beautiful" (and maybe parts of As the World Turns). I love that soap - it's so freaking cheesy!! But that cheesiness makes B&B one of the most watched TV shows around the world (Italy can't get enough of B&B. The soap films a remote there at least once a year and the Italian fans go nuts when the cast is there).

So come on - what is your favorite daytime soap opera!!

1. Y&R Here

I confess: I've been watching since I was in high school. I'm now 46.

Yesterday Ashley showed up for the Newman's big fund raising event in a bathroom with a baby blanket. She's gone bonkers and thinks her miscarried son is alive.

Gina's restaurant was torched and it wasn't the mafia, it was Lily's enraged older boyfriend avenging Colleen for telling Lily's parents about them. Colleen was somewhere in the blazes. Her older boyfriend J.T. is coming to the rescue.

Victoria got a furtive kiss from her new boyfriend, the handsome black chemist from Jabot.

I ask you, where on nighttime television can you get all that?

2. Holy Batcrap - Ridge DIED???

I just read the recaps on http://www.soapcity.com (I couldn't watch on Monday) and freaking Ridge died on Bold & the Beautiful. And I don't think this is a "Come back from the dead" death. The guy was freaking incinerated.

Holy Batcrap this is major. He's one of the 4 original cast members of Bold & the Beautiful (along with Eric, Stephanie and Brooke). Plus they just killed his wife off about a year ago (And that was another 'She's definately dead' death.

YIKES!!!

[jus_the_facts]

5. yep Lynne.....sad but true.......

.....saving Brooke's life...she and Stephanie had a tender moment yesterday over it! :eyes: :D

[LynneSin]

7. I had no clue that was coming - any chance he can come back?

Or is this a really really dead dead death

[jus_the_facts]

10. Well he did fall into a pit of fire........

.....can't see him coming back after that...but ya can't ever be too sure about the *creative* writing that may bring him back from that somehow! :D

[jiacinto]

13. Did Stephanie blame Brooke?

But I don't think Ridge is dead. Ronn Moss hasn't left the show.

[jus_the_facts]

16. Nope she didn't.......she said.....

...."......he really DID love you didn't he?!" :eyes:

Well reeeeeally will be interesting to see how in the world they'll explain how he didn't fall straight down into that fire!!! :crazy:

[jiacinto]

17. Yeah

It will be inteersting.

[jus_the_facts]

3. okay...I confess....B'n'B.......

.....comes on after the noon news and it's like rubberneckin' at a bad wreck...dammit!!:evilgrin:

[catpower2000]

4. GH! GH! GH!

I watch it about once a month, maybe. And I still know exactly what's going on within 10 minutes. How can anyone NOT love the evil genius that is Sonny? :evilgrin:

6. I tape GH every day...

I'm pathetic, I know.

I got hooked when I was in college.

[skippysmom]

9. GH too...

I got hooked on it when I was unemployed for 2 months earlier this year.

In high school I watched GL and in college I watched Another World.

[noonwitch]

11. I've been watching GH for over 20 years

Since I was a freshman in high school. Laura hadn't even married Scotty yet when I started watching-she was on trial for killing some guy she had a crush on.

I can't believe they killed off Stefan yesterday! I always liked him. Then again, nobody is really ever dead on GH except Steve Hardy, Jesse Brewer and Aunt Ruby (their portrayers died). And Robert Scorpio, it appears, much to my continued disappointment.

[Whitacre D_WI]

15. Yes, interesting...

of course, I hadn't watched yesterday's tape yet, you SPOILER!

Eh, no hard feelings -- Luke did do a number on him with that knife on Friday, after all.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

28. Actually, TECHNICALLY, Stefan killed HIMSELF.

He took Luke's hand, while they were struggling...and then he plunged it into his own chest. I have been watching GH for years, myself ...started watching it when I was a kid with my mom. I can't help it...It's one of my weaknesses. Oh, but I never got onto that Brenda/Vanessa Marcil bandwagon. I can't stand her.

8. Victor Newman 'nuff said

and Nikki is still a hottie.

[jiacinto]

12. The Bold and the Beautiful

Without a doubt!

[nykiera]

14. Passions

and Days of our Lives~where they are killing a many longtime cast members off.

[Kat45]

21. Yeah, why are they doing that?

That sucks. If they kill off 'John Black' (which I've heard they're going to do), it sucks even more. IMHO, he's the best character.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

29. Did you not nearly piss yourself when...

You found out they were killing off JACK!?
Duckie

[AntiCoup2K4]

31. Jack can always come back

Shit, they brought Stefano back from the dead 500 times now.

Uh, or so I've been told :evilgrin:

[maxanne]

18. Santa Barbara

was the best. Mason was a great character - snide, witty, alcholic and handsome - yee ha.

Keith and Gina were a hoot, some of their bedroom scenes were hilarious. SB was great because it didn't take itself too seriously.

[catzies]

25. The actor who played Mason was my boss' daughter's neighbor

And she kissed-and-told.

[maxanne]

32. yikes

lucky her!

[Kat45]

19. You forgot "Days of Our Lives"

I watch that and "Passions" every day. 'Days' is a classic, and "Passions" is a riot.

[Kat45]

20. Sorry, dupe post, so I edited it out.

It told me it didn't post and then when I posted again it was already there. Go figure!

[Rowdyboy]

22. 20 years of Guiding Light

Springfield is my guilty pleasure...

Got hooked while I was hurt in a water-skiing accident and was off my feet for a month. A friend who came over to make my lunch every day turned me on to it.

[demgurl]

23. It's Days and Passions for me! n/t

[SiobhanClancy]

24. EastEnders

I KNOW it isn't a "daytime" soap opera,but it's the only one I've ever liked and %*&# BBCAmerica has taken it off the air:(

[goobergunch]

26. You left out U.S. Senate!

Yes, I do watch Congress on my days off from school.

[LynneSin]

27. I did when dems were in controlled

I couldn't handle it with Frist

:shrug:

[YellowRubberDuckie]

30. I love that cartoon, Lynn.

How sweet.
