celebritymembers -> ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 4:14:59 AM)
There have been many soup operas and the longest running one is the UKs Coronation Street, December 1960 to 2016 to date. Some have been truly outstanding and others mediocre and best forgotten. Some of you may have lived in more than one English speaking nation and so seen many different cultural soup operas. So what is your favorite top 3 in preferential order please and what made you keep watching them?

None of the above. And they are SOAP opera's, not soup opera's.

Greta75 -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 4:45:23 AM)
I don't know any of those programs you listed!

Lucylastic -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 4:48:42 AM)
apart from the fact that half the UK ones up until 1988 arent mentioned in the UK list crossroads, emerdale farm, eastenders, corrie, Practically all the others were american written soaps I had never seen any of the american daytime soaps in the UK until I moved here, shame its a cut n paste, list and badly inaccurate, but socks will be sucks. But then when I were young, we only had two stations, till bb2c came along...then channel 4. in my late teens?

celebritymembers -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 5:56:22 AM)
I wrote the thread so if I refer to Soup then it means soup and not soup got it?

celebritymembers -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 5:57:59 AM)
You must have been born quite recently then? They say kids learn quick nowadays. Surfing the net at 1 and staring in porn movies at 2.

freedomdwarf1 -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 5:58:47 AM)
You can't watch SOUP on TV!!! And there's no such thing as a soup opera. But there again, I didn't expect anything better from a sock.

celebritymembers -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 6:02:06 AM)
You are a silly woman! Socks will be sucks? What are you on about? The list appeared comprehensive but for some reason important ones with iconic stature were indeed let out. I mentioned Coronation Street. Many go back before we were born and even predate television. If you can think of one's not mentioned then state them in a thread?

freedomdwarf1 -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 6:05:25 AM)
Not a single Kids TV soap is mentioned anywhere. Or do you not believe in kids soaps? Nope. You just like to see your posts instead of having anything sensible to contribute.

I dont care if you dont like it, I did include several not mentioned. crossroads, emmerdale farm, eastenders, corrie, no mention of the radio soaps recorded in the UK too in the sixties and 70s in fact I dont see an english one mentioned in your sorry list.

celebritymembers -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 6:26:37 AM)
Yes there is I just invented soup opera. True both soap and soup are bizarre names for TV programs that are a continuation from one crisis to the next in a series of follow on episodes. I wonder who coined the phrase and why?

celebritymembers -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 6:28:08 AM)
I do like your buttocks and what lies between them Lucylastic. I would sure enjoy whipping them?

Lucylastic -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 6:41:49 AM)
look up Procter and Gamble... btw, you stand less chance off whipping my ass as you have, becoming the popes third wife.If you are going to post walls of text, please make sure its accurate. It makesyou look, well sucky socky

In 1933, Procter and Gamble began sponsering first radio and then daytime television dramas. P&G's major item they made at the time was laundry soap. And they were one of the largest laundry soap makers. The name Soap Opera quickly was coined P&G was a major sponsor of daytime television dramas from the 30's to the 2000's. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soap_opera http://soaps.about.com/od/listsandtrivia/a/Soaps_Name.htm

From the list, 2 of them tie for my favorite: All My Children and Eastenders "The best thing in a man's white shirt is a woman in black heels"

angelikaJ -> RE: ACCORDING TO YOUR AGE AND MEMORY WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ENGLISH LANGUAGE SOUP OPERA (1/16/2016 9:30:48 AM)
First of all Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman was a parody of a soap opera. As was Soap (appropriately not listed). I don't see Dark Shadows on the list. And at various points, I have watched ones on NBC: Days of Our Lives, The Doctors, Search for Tomorrow (which ended on NBC) Another World and it's spin-offs: Somerset and Texas, and Passions. ABC: Ryan's Hope, All My Children, One life to Live, Loving and General Hospital. CBS: Young and the Restless and Guiding Light. Daytime soaps introduced us to actors/actresses such as Alec Baldwin and Kathleen Turner, Ted Danson, Demi Moore, Meg Ryan, Julianne Moore, Tommy Lee Jones, Ray Liotta and Kevin bacon among others.

Well the photo is not of your ass for sure! You have a less firm and wrinkled ass than most!
