I just wonder who thinks that sometimes soaps drag a story out too long that you just stop watching it. I always watched soaps not as much now as when i was youger. I usually watch Young and the Restless everyday and I will watch All My Children, One Life to Live and General Hospital only when it looks like the story line is interesting. Last week One Life to Live caught my eye and I watched it waiting until Monday thinking that Gi Gi would tell Rex that Shane was his son. No it didn't happen. I had read the the actress that is playing Adrianna is leaving the show and I know it will happen, but I lost interest. I have only watch Young and The Restless for about a year. I like the way they develope a story. They will lay a foundation and then bring it back awhile later.

That's funny because on As The World Turns...the stories go way too fast and there is no build-up at all....it's like speed watching. I only watch it because one of my daughter's friends is an actress on the show so my family began watching it last July.....
It wasn't like I remembered soap operas to be like you say, drag out storylines....I think I prefer the drag out to the endless new stories!

I used to watch Day of our Lives. I could literally go months without watching and out of the blue watch an episode and feel like I havent missed a thing. Sometimes it could be February and yet the storyline is still on Christmas day. It takes years for any type of resolution.

I watch GH and AMC. Some of this stuff drags on forever. plus the situation with bringing back a character that has died. maybe as a ghost, or re-writing as they never really died, or the wonderful identical twin!

You wonder why they write the person out of the show if they bring them back right away as a ghost or another person. If you watch General Hospital the just the past three Carly's will confuse you.

They have no real reason to wrap up a storyline since there's never a season finale. What amazes me is that some of the same characters from twenty or thirty years ago look almost exactly the same! With all that continuing drama, you'd think they would get wrinkles at least.

WEll there are a few who don't look the same. Take Bobbie Spencer I'm not sure what the deal is with her lips.
