Back In The Day

I remember back in the day how I use to love Soap Opera. Back then they had a lot of them on. Do you recall when they only use to stay on fifteen minutes? Well back then my favorite one was The Secret Storm. We had a friend who would watch it, while visiting her we all got hooked. I was just a teen at the time, and others got hooked to. I liked many of them, but The Secret Storm was on the top of the list for me. Did you have a favorite one?

The only two I was mildly into were Guiding Light and The Edge of Night. That is unless you counted Dark Shadows. I loved that one. It needs a re do.

I never got into them but made me sad because one time I did watch I think General Hospital with my friend and his mom. She just passed away but this made me remember that.

I'm sorry for that. They were really one of the great pastimes in that era.

@crossbones27 I haven't seen any here. I'm watching Korean and Chinese dramas on YouTube. They're really good.

I do remember that one and that was one of my favorites Popcicle!! I never would have remembered or thought about it, til you reminded me here. Well I am not sure if I recall the 15 minutes though. Well I guess years ago I did like General Hospital and then later on in years Sunset Beach.

I like Spanish Soap Opera. My favorite soap opera is Queen of Flow. It is on Netflix, but I like several soap operas. I liked them when I was a kid and I still like them now.

I think Ryan's Hope was the only one I watched very much. Or General Hospital. I believe Secret Storm set the record as the longest running daytime serial. Mom watched it.

I never watched any until I was home after surgery. I enjoyed General Hospital while I was home. Have a good weekend.

I loved watching AS THE WORLD TURNS, Bold and the beautiful, Y&R, AMC. Hopefully soap operas become better and more interesting. AS THE WORLD TURNS had a lot of interesting stories that were told. Also how they were expressed and portrayed were very interesting. As an actor my self, I got into it.
