I used to schedule my colege classes around my "soaps". I haven't watched them until recently when...

General Hospital brought back

I am hooked again...
the "oldies" are coming back...Robert Scorpio, Holly used to be Scorpio and Luke is still being Luke.

Also, DOOL brought back Caliope Jones. Anyone old enough to remember her? She is playing a wedding planner and has aged really well!

I remember Caliope. I wonder if Eugene is still in the basement.

Patch is coming back to DOOL 6/9 and Kayla joins him 6/12!!!

I remember dragging my kids to the mall to see them a couple times. It made the early child rearing years more pleasant. DS has even named his dog Kayla...not sure why.

The only one I watch now is General Hospital. I've watched it for about 30 years or so. I tivo it so I can watch it without the commercials.

30 years of General Hospital...scary! Patch and Kayla wow talk about digging up the past, DOOL is the other show I have been watching for 20 years, I do have a life..honest!

General Hospital, the innovative, award-winning drama series, celebrated 43 years of broadcasting on April 1, 2006.

Days of our Lives debuted on November 8, 1965,

The American soap opera The Guiding Light started as a radio drama in January 1937 and subsequently transferred to television. With the exception of several years in the late 1940s when Irna Phillips was in dispute with Procter & Gamble, The Guiding Light has been heard or seen every weekday since it started, making it the longest story ever told. Other American soaps that have been telecast for more than thirty years (and are still in rotation) include As the World Turns, General Hospital, Days of Our Lives, One Life to Live, All My Children, and The Young and the Restless.

WOW!!!!!!! Even I wasn't here in 1937!
