Who Introduced You To Soap Operas?

Soap:  Another World

A girlfriend in high school introduced me to the wonderful world of soap operas with Another World.  I was hooked and watched the show into young adulthood.

Soap: All My Children

My future husband reintroduced me to the world of soap operas.  He was a devout fan of All My Children and Erica Kain along with another male friend.  I began catching the show with them, was hooked, and loved it.  My daughters grew up on All My Children and we all watched faithfully to the very last Disney/ABC episode.

Who is Your Favorite Male Soap Opera Actor?

David Canary as Twins Adam and Stuart Chandler

Show:  All My Children

Actor:  David Canary

My favorite soap opera actor is David Canary as Adam and Stuart Chandler on All My Children.  David brought such a breadth of experience with him when he joined All My Children.  He used that experience to create not one, but two incredible portraits of individuals, the twins, Adam and Stuart.  Every scene he was ever in he leant class, grace, and style to.  Thank you David, for your consistent, absolutely impeccable work!

At What Age Did You Start Watching Soap Operas?

Show: Another World

Age: 14

Victoria Wyndham as Another World's Rachel Cory

There were never soap operas in my house growing up.  They were thought of and referred to as, "sob stories."  At age 14, I met a girl on the school bus, we became friends, and I began spending time at her house after school.  She and her older sister watched Another World when they got in the door from school.  On occasion when their mother was home in the afternoon, she watched too.  That amazed me!  I began watching with them.  Steve and Alice, Rachel and Mac, I was hooked!  It became a regular routine to stop at their house after school before going home so I could catch Another World.

What Is Your Favorite Soap Opera Line of Dialog?

James Kiberd as All My Children's Trevor Dillon

Show:  All My Children

Favorite Line of Dialog:  No Bout Adoubt It!

All My Children's Trevor Dillon (played by James Kiberd) was an easy going, beloved character to many.  He is still to this day, over ten years since appearing on All My Children, affectionately called Uncle Porkchop.  Trevor had a way of playing with words, and one of his recurring sayings was "No bout adoubt it."  To this day, I use that line!

Who Is/Was Your Favorite Soap Couple?

Soap:  One Life To Live

Couple: Cord and Tina

Okay, I am an All My Children fan.  I could have picked a long list of couples who had chemistry on All My Children.  But, the couple that immediately caught my attention and heart was the courtship and relationship between Cord Roberts and Tina Lord on One Life to Live.  They were so different - playful, loose, and exuded a special chemistry between them that made you want more, more more!

What Was Your Favorite Soap Opera Event?

All My Children Crystal Ball Keepsake

Show:  All My Children

Event:  The Crystal Ball

The Crystal Ball was a magical annual event in Pine Valley that always became the canvas for much foolishness and mayhem, something soap fans love!  All of Pine Valley attended the Crystal Ball.  The costumes, gowns and tuxedos, and the actors and actresses in them were always delectable eye candy for viewers.
