Passions! Passions! Passions! Passions!

(hehe, you don't want to see how my best friend Steph and I react whenever someone mentions that soap!!!!)

My all time favorite soap that i follow constantly is General Hospital. Been watching for five years!! I tend to watch One Life to Live because it's on before GH and I don't have anything to do at that time (really bad excuse). Started to pay more attention to Days which I started watching about 7-8 years ago when Jack and Jennifer came back. Used to watch Another World before it got cancelled. When your classes just happen to fall opposite of your soap schedule you watch them, but I have stopped recording them when I can't watch during the day!!

GoodGirl103 · 02-20-2001, 09:03 PM

Ryan's Hope was always the best! I like General Hospitle and Pasions too.

Jo: It was just like Saturday night fever...but it was a Friday.

Blair: If I'm not perfect, and that's a BIG if....it certainly wasn't his place to say so.
Jo: Right...it's mine!

Blair's new saying of the new Millenium!
"I'm a princess
I was born on a cloud
If you wanna get with me
You better bow down
So get on your knees
And call me "Your Highness"
Because, baby, believe me
I'm New York's finest!"

JoPol_wannabe · 02-20-2001, 11:12 PM

My favorite soaps have to be Days, ATWT, GL, GH, and Santa Barbara, and did yow know that the people who played Blair parents were both on Santa Barbara and her mom was also on Gl and I think she is on oltl now but I'm not for sure.

Nat: Alright I can't take criticism I never could even when I was a baby if people didn't laugh when I was being cute I would spit up

lesliem14 · 02-20-2001, 11:22 PM

She's on AMC, not OLTL.

02-21-2001, 04:20 PM

That's right. Marj Dusay played Alexandra Spaulding on Guiding Light, she plays Vanessa on All My Children.
By the way, my favorite soaps are the only ones I've watched!
DAYS, GL, and B&B.

My favorite soaps are only channel 7 ones All My Children, One Life To Live and General Hospital. My most favorite one is General Hospital though. I have been watching those for a very long time.

AlexzBonner · 02-21-2001, 10:46 PM

I think that I can safely safely say that BlairW_1's (she's grounded off the computer!!!

) and my fav soap is Guiding Light!! That's where I got an idea for a fanfic. Of course... it wouold be considered "controversial".

Roy: Did you notice? I've been away.
J: Bless you!

J: Blair, I hit you.
B: Nooo!
J: But, I've been talkin' to God about it, and He wanted me to do it.

I like all these GH fans and all you GL fans we would really want the Labines back as headwriters! They were writing GH when I started watching and it's been downhill ever since. It's looking like Megan McTavish (currently at OLTL) is coming and I'm not happy. She's going to decimate GH even more if thats possible. The only good thing is the Cassadines are finally going to get a story (love Alexis played by Nancy Lee Grahn) and the Sonny and Carly hour may be reduced.

02-22-2001, 07:56 PM

I like GL, but it needs history, older characters, and less San Cristobel! I mean, HELLO! The Labines need to kick some sense into Paul Rauch (he's the EP) he totally ruined the show the MINUTE he came on. Okay, okay, the show's still kinda good, (Brittany Snow is very talented, she's Susan Lemay) but still, the show needs more (Springfield, that is!)

My favorite soap is Days of our Lives. I have been watching it for about 7 years.

trm37 · 02-22-2001, 10:19 PM

By far my favorite soap of all time is Passions!!! It is so ridiculous that it is hysterical. When Timmy and Tabitha were being stalked by "Norma" I just fell out!I am laughing almost the whole hour. What entertainment!!! Tim

My favorite of all time would have to be Ryan's Hope. I remember my mother watching RH and All My Childeren when I was a kid. I watched GH for a while but now find it totally unwatchable. I don't really follow any soaps religiously now but will tune into Soapnet every once in a while to catch an old Ryan's Hope episode.

mst3k4evr · 02-23-2001, 01:35 AM

I watch a couple of soaps, but I have an attraction towards Passions. Sure, the storylines may move slow at times(the engagement party lasted almost a month!), but it is so different than the others. Where else would you find a talking doll as great as Timmy?

TIMMY RULES!!
