Which Cancelled Soap Opera Should Return to Production?

Anyone who knows me knows that of course my answer is All My Children.  I miss Pine Valley and all the characters in it.  However, I think my answer would have to be ALL cancelled soaps should return to production.  Soap operas are a form of entertainment that steps over the traditional boundaries of entertainment and into the realm of social education.  Soap operas educate viewers on social issues.  So many of us have learned social lessons from our stories that we carry into our real lives.  But, if we cannot have all the cancelled soaps returned to us, I would love to see All My Children again.

Which Soap Character Would You Like to See Return from the Dead?

Josh Duhamel as Leo du Pres

Soap:   All My Children

Character:  Leo du Pres

After All My Children's Leo du Pres (played by Josh Duhamel) went over the waterfall, we waited years for him to show back up on the show somehow.  I always thought he would be resurrected.  Now, it would be wonderful if All My Children were resurrected!

Which Soap Opera Couple Should Have Never Divorced?

Susan Lucci and David Canary as Erica Kane and Adam Chandler

Soap:  All My Children

Couple:  Adam and Erica

There have been many couples that have come together and then later divorced in Soapland.  The couple I felt should never have divorced was All My Children's Adam Chandler and Erica Kane.  They may have both had better mates, like Brooke English and Jackson Montgomery, but when Adam and Erica were together it was constant fireworks as they plotted and schemed and then made up with each other.

Where Is/Was the Best Soap Opera Place to Eat?

Erica Kane and Bianca Montgomery at the Valley Inn

Soap Opera: All My Children

Place to Eat:  Valley Inn

There have been many fine dining establishments in the cities of the soap opera world.  For me, the best was All My Children's Valley Inn.  The Valley Inn was an elegant setting with food that always looked... well... good enough to eat!  It was a great place to bump into the who's who of Pine Valley and the location of many a legendary cat fight.

What Lesson Did A Soap Opera Teach You?

Pine Valley

All My Children taught me the lesson of community.  In this fast-paced, disposable world, we often have no idea who our neighbors are, let alone the head of the local hospital.  But in Pine Valley, albeit a fictional town, as with most other soap locales, there is a sense of community.  When tragedy strikes, as it most certainly will in a soap town, all the inhabitants bond together to get through it.  Holidays are certainly always family events but in Pine Valley they were also community events with everyone coming together in celebration.

Who Is the Best Soap Opera Cook?

Soap Opera:   All My Children

Best Cook:   Kate Martin

For me, Kate Martin was the best cook in soap operas.  She was always baking cookies, cooking dinner, cooking something.  You could almost smell the aromas coming from Kate's kitchen.  The Thanksgiving spread was ala Grandma Kate.  There were scenes in the Martin kitchen.  Do soap operas even show kitchens any more?  If Kate Martin were still around, there would definitely be a kitchen set and it would get a lot of use.

Who Is the Sexiest Soap Opera Actor/Actress?

Thorsten Kaye as Zach Slater

Vincent Irizarry as Dr David Hayward

Susan Lucci as Erica Kane

Roger Howarth as Todd Manning

Sexiest Soap Opera Actors:  Thorsten Kaye, Vincent Irizarry, Susan Lucci, Roger Howarth

I actually could go on and on with this one because almost all the players on daytime soap operas are sexy.  My pick for sexiest goes to several people: Thorsten Kaye AKA Zach Slater on All My Children; Vincent Irizarry AKA Dr David Hayward on All My Children; Susan Lucci AKA Erica Kane on All My Children; and Roger Howarth as Todd Manning on One Life to Live/General Hospital.  I could go on and on - there are just so many hot, sexy actors in soap operas!  These are but a few!
