TV Soap Operas

Evil twins, baby switches, scandalous affairs, shady business tycoons and diabolical schemers are just some of the elements that have made soap operas famous. Soaps like General Hospital, Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, One Life to Live and All My Children have enthralled viewers for generations, carrying on the proud tradition of the classic soaps of yesterday, like Santa Barbara and The Edge of Night. Perhaps no genre has made Daytime TV as unpredictable and exciting as the soap opera!
