Hi, I am a huge Y&R fan and am really, really disappointed that CBS DRAMA are no longer showing the show from next week. If there are any fans of the show who have any shows on DVD/Video from 2006 onwards, I would be willing to pay good money on an on-going basis for recordings of the show. ...

Does anyone else watch GH like I do? I am really enjoying seeing Helena back and her scenes she had with Luke. I can't wait to see what other tricks she has up her sleeve this time around. :wiggle:

Live...from her Condo--- Let's listen in while glamourous Brenda Dickson (ex-Young and Restless "Jill") gives her Beauty advice. "Welcome to my Home" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W5cS07X06VY (I keep telling you all---American Daytime Soap Stars are far more glamourous than their...

I watched Guiding Light for so many years, I really miss it. I saw this tribute to the show, it was a awesome video, I had to post it. It made me cry seeing the stars that passed away, especially Beverly Mckinsey, and Micheal Zaslow, and Larry Gates and Charita Bauer to name a few. <object...

Has anybody watched any of the What If web series from ABC.com? I thought they were kind of entertaining and it's nice that ABC is at least attempting to do something new or innovative. The Spinelli/Todd Manning clip was amusing. My favorite is probably the Carly Corinthos/Ryan Lavery clip. ...

OK, so I figured this could be a place for Y&R screencaps! Everyone who'd like to join in and contribute feel free, and comments are appreciated as always! Let's have some fun! Starting off with some screencaps from 1988. In the first one, Jack (played by Terry Lester), is telling Ashley about...

For anyone interested, Netflix is streaming 'Dark Shadows Revival' (the complete failed series, of course). It's worth the watch to see some old soap stars who were major fan faves, and actors who were linked to daytime soaps - even if their roles were limited: Julianna McCarthy (ex- Liz Foster,...

I just saw at Soapdigest.com that Kayla Johnson, (MaryBeth Evans) will be coming back to Salem in Sept, for an undisclosed amount of time... I'm sure its for the days 45th anniv, but who know. I'm excited about her coming back, It was nice to see her interact with her daughter Stephanie, and...

We the Kings have a new song called Heaven Can Wait and part of it sounds so familiar - like a soap opera opening theme song. It's at the :10-:20 mark, again at 1:59-2:12, and again at the 2:50 mark. <object width="445" height="364"><param name="movie"...

Hopes words at Alice's Memorial, I know I'm a week late and a dollar short, but I just got to watch the Alice Horton Memorial. It was so beautiful, I loved seeing all the old characters back in town, and watching the clips, Like Alice and Tom wedding renewal. It reminds us all of all the days...

On monday next week tv4+ i starting to air the first 35 episodes of the bold and the beautiful in Sweden. OMG I can't believe it!!

Recently there have been a ton of web-soaps appearing on the internet or being talked about. I've checked out a few and wasn't all that jazzed about any of them. I did find Steamboat- but GL and ATWT vets to be kinda funny, but that's about it. So, is anyone here looking or caring?

I loved Ryan's hope it was so good, it was on jul 7 ,1975 until jan 13,89 . I didn't start watching until the year 1980 the storylines, and the cast were great. Starring Helen Gallagher Bernard Barrow Kate Mulgrew Ron Hale Nancy Addison Altman John Gabriel Louise Shaffer Hannibal Penney ...

Hi all i've just started watching young and the restless and im hooked i use to be hooked on days of our lives but that just got to sillyer and silly. but what im really looking for is if anyone has really good quality dvds of the young and the restless, im looking for the early years of the show...

I posted this at a couple other sites, so it's time to make all the rounds. Here is the Horton family based upon Soap Opera Central's original tree that listed all the relationships with the characters instead of just spouses and children. No dates are listed in this particular list, it's just...

I haven't checked my TiVo yet, but I believe that today is the day.... :( <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/7TBHvTpIyWk&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess"...

Watched today's RESTLESS episode and I have to say that I really love how Lyn Marie Latham (the head writer) can illustrate both character and plot driven stories at the same time. The show is not the same anymore but the writing (especially the dialogue) is very good. However, it's not as good as...

Watching the Daytime Emmy Awards...just saw the "farewell to ATWT". OMG, but that was HORRIBLE> That show gave absolutely ZERO consideration to its rich history. Saying I was disappointed is understatement of the century. I would have liked to have seen something dealing with those they lost...

Very sad. I wonder if she just gave up living knowing that "ATWT" was canceled? The final ep. should be of past characters coming to Oakdale because of Nancy's death (JMO....). http://www.welovesoaps.net/2010/05/helen-wagner-has-passed-away.html <object width="640" height="385"><param...

Get ready to say farewell to Frances Reid/"Alice Horton" soon on DAYS in the coming weeks when Alice passes away. The show will never recover from this loss, ever. <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/y-SyHFv76ws&hl=en_US&fs=1&"></param><param...

Michael Fairman has a new interview with Christina Bennet Lind over at Advocate.com. I think he asked some really good questions, I particularly like her answer to the question about what gay issue she would like the show to address now that she is Bianca. I think her suggestion could make for a...

While I am not a fan of the "Bold & Beautiful", I must say that this is one of the best death scenes that I have ever seen on a soap. It is especially moving to all of us who have enjoyed "The Golden Girls" and are seeing all of the 'girls' slip away one by one. <object width="480"...

Disney has decided to scrap SoapNet and replace it with children's programming. Too bad. If SoapNet had remembered what it was for--- it might have survived. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/27/business/media/27disney.html?src=busln

Just curious what everyones favorite daytime soap is. Mine is Young and the Restless, and I believe it's far and away better than the rest but I want to see what everyone else thinks.

Since they have moved their studios to California and it is 2010 the residents of Pine Valley needs to redecorate their homes. I noticed Annie made some changes to the mansion, maybe the others will follow. Fusion and Confusion are modern and up to date. Talking about Confusion, what are the...

All My Children’s long, careful search for a new Bianca has ended with the role going to newcomer Christina Bennett Lind. Her resemblance to Eden Riegel is astonishing. And we’re not just talking looks. “Christina oozes goodness and we really needed that for Bianca,” says exec producer Julie Hanan...

John Martin is the new Bill Horton for the Alice Horton tribute.

Now THIS is how soaps should be written! Great to see Daisy and Nina again....and the final surprise guest appearance at the end rocked ("Uncle Palmer....welcome home....")!! <object width="480" height="385"><param name="movie"...

Going through one of the rag mags at work yesterday and read an article about Deidre Hall's bizarre behavior at Frances Reid's memorial service. It is said that when she was giving a speech about FR, she said to the audience "I have had sex with a lot of you in this room!" and "It must be my...

A question for the hardcore fans...I wonder if anyone would spend their money on hundreds of dvd's of their favourite soap?

:hello:hi all i've just started watching and recording days of our lives here in the UK but about 7 years behind but im totaly hooked its just brilliant, i never thought for one minute that i would find a show to replace my sunset beach but days has and so looking forward to whats to come. i would...

Someone at YouTube posted a lot of musical themes that were written for specific Days of Our Lives characters and couples in the 1980s. You can find them here: http://www.youtube.com/user/hortonofsalem#p/u I've had these songs for a while, but was happy to see someone sharing them on...

With GL being canceled, I thought it would be fun to discuss our favorite time period of the show. Mine was in the early 90's - 91-93 - I call them the "non Reva years"....the show was so good, such a great cast where one character did not dominate. The stories were wonderful: ...

Frances Reid (95), beloved Alice Horton, original cast member passed away this morning.
