I remember when I was growing up, the neighbor across the street switched from 2nd shift to 1st shift, so she bought a VCR to tape her soaps. All My Children and One Life to Live, if I remember correctly. She expressed regret for buying it during the terrible OLtL story line in which Vicki Buchanan was shot and was in a coma but her soul was on a space ship headed to heaven. She had to confront the Devil, who just happened to look like her step-mother Dorian, before they arrived in heaven.
My mother, as fine a mother as she was, tended to have a negative personality. We blamed it on her watching that crap all day while we were at school and work.

I was in a church service where someone requested prayer for one of the characters on a soap opera. Not the actress – the character.

I remember my mom watching soaps between 11 and 2, there would be tissues around and lots of vacuuming. Everyone needs their escape and that was hers.

Well, at least Andy’s honest about wanting the TV to herself while her soaps are on.
