I got into the Soaps back in 1980 at college.  My guy friends all thought I was nuts until they found out where I spent time watching...at ther girls dorms lounge.  It's strange how many of them changed thier attitude after that.  I always liked the whole Luke and Laura thing so I'll choose G.H. with Bo & Hope and Days Of Our Lives a very close second....

The only one I watched in the 80s, One Life to Live.

My babysitter used to watch DooL and that got me hooked. I still watch on occasion.

Remember Sara and ...what was her sisters name (Played by Jessica Tuck)?  The one who ended up with Joe Lando (Who moved on to Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman)...I forgot his character name as well!

Dynasty

Days Of Our Lives..I was definitely hooked back then!  :)

Hands down - General Hospital!  Rick Springfield and John Stamos - need I say more.  One Life to Live and Ryans Hope were close seconds.

You forgot about Jack Wagner (Frisco Jones)  ;D

Days Of Our Lives.  It was the only one that was on after school so I could get hooked.  Of course, now it has gone to heck in a handbasket. ::)

The Young & the Restless.  My mom watched it from the first episode.  Later on I got hooked on General Hospital, which I recently got back into.

I LOVE days, y and r, and all my children!!  I used to like Another World too :D

RockandRollFan - thanks for reminding me - how could I forget Jack Wagner! :o

I would pick Another World, which is currently airing episodes from 1988 on Soapnet. I also liked Santa Barbara with Cruz and Eden.

I remember watching Another World but not for long. I'm pretty sure the character who played Greg on AMC went over there for a few years ???

I pick other because I like Days of our live and General hospital. I still watch G.H. till this day.

Shame on you. ;D

I liked General Hospital the best!

Those two are on top of my list, too. ;)

I seem to recall Jack Wagner going over there for a stint...after he left GH and before he took up "Residence" as Dr. Peter Burns on Melrose Place :)

I remember watching something from The Grundy Studios called 'Sons and Daughters' while I was little. I hardly remember anything about it.

Yes

Young and the restless...although i have been also watching days and all my children alot for the last few years.

Other.  "Santa Barbara"

DOOL....Patch and Kayla.....I just loved that storyline.

Yep...I loved that storyline as well...then DOOL started to SUCK ::)

Texas(Ryan Connor-hello!)
Days Of Our Lives
Another World(loved the Marley/Vicky/Jake dynamic)
Loving

All My Children

Definitely the ABC soaps were much better. Athough Young and the Restless had great story lines, though for my age I shouldn't have been watching them.

Tanya

Loving and All My Children, I used to watch these with my mom. I was watching AMC up until a year ago when it got too stupid to tolerate. Then I got hooked on General Hospital in the mid to late 90's and gave that up a few months ago.

Other - "None of them"

You're scarin' me here Mark  ;D

I love All My Children and I still watch it! :D

General Hospital

I used to watch "All My Children" in the mid 90's when Knowa and Julia were together. Kelly Rippa was also on the show when she played the character Hailey. I think Edmund and Maria were togther too at the time on "All My Children". I kinda catch the show when I come at night.  I know Julia(Sydney Penny) just came back to "All My Children". She still looks the same. She is pretty.

I used to actually watch AMC the odd time, so it gets my vote :)

8)  General Hospital...I started watching when the whole LUKE and LAURA thing started...Didnt he rape her in the Disco....Dang..that was a LONG time ago..LOL!! And of course John Stamos..Rick Springfield..Jack Wagner..I also watched One Life To Live...

I watched GH and  Santa Barbara. A tie beteen them, so In picked "other"

Wasn't George Clooney on one of the soaps during the 80's?

This is when I started watching.  I still watch GH now with the whole Sonny/Carly storyline. 

I also used to watch DOOL, but lately it's gotten really stupid.

He was on Facts of Life. A soap..hmm...I'm thinking you are right. He played a Dr. ? http://www.addis-welt.de/smilie/smilie/verwirrt/85.gif

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten that he was on "Facts of Life".  I checked IMDB, and he is listed as bieing in a TV series called "E/R" (NOT to be confused with the famours ER on Thursday nights on NBC) from 1984-85.  He played "Ace".  So I guess I was wrong about him being in a soap.

you didn't put Dynasty? What's wrong with you??  :-X
that soap WAS the epitimy of the 80s.
And wasn't it called DALLAS and not TEXAS?!!?

Those were Primetime Soaps  ;)

There was a daytime soap called Texas  in the early 80's.  It was a spin-off from Another World  :)
