The Soap open and close makes me homesick, these were on when I came home from school, mom always had a snack waiting. My grandfather came over M-F to watch tv after my grandmother passed. So many memories, they’re all gone now, but the fond memories live on.

@@danielbryan9754If you can watch Coronation Street that debuted on December 9th 1960. It was and is so 180% from US Soaps. The women had to work to provide for their families, whether it was a factory or a hotel kitchen. Now alot of US Folks watch UK Soaps. The Castle from Franco American Spaghetti looks like the opening sequence from The Friendly Giant. Also when Florence Ballard Of The Supremes ended up broke and on welfare, Jet Magazine came to interview her and she was feeding franco american spaghetti to her kids, nothing wrong with that but after being part of the biggest girl group of all time and falling on such hard times must have been very humiliating.

During this era CBS was considered the station that Moms and Grandmas watched for their soaps, ABC started crafting shows to appeal to teenagers and young college kids, such as Dark Shadows, GH, OLTL and a few others that didn’t last.

@JozarS.-ol4fj 7 ай бұрын

But in 1973, CBS started its first soap to cater to teenagers and young people through Bill Bell and Lee Phillip-Bell's jointly created soap "The Young and the Restless" which was inspired by ABC's "All My Children", "One Life to Live", and "General Hospital". Y&R since then is not only for teens and youngsters but also for mothers, grandmas, and even fathers and grandpas, too.

@@sandrasanders706The UK was so 180% from US Soaps. In the late 1950's there was a Book that was originally serialized in a Newspaper called Saturday Night & Sunday Morning by Allan Sillitoe, then it became a Novel, and it inspired a man named Tony Warren to create a Serial based on a Blue Collar Community getting by during the post WW II. It was called Coronation Street that debuted in 1960. William Roache now surpasses Don Hastings as the longest male Soap Actor in TV History.

You know I used to watch The secret Storm when I was a kid especially in 1966 when Ken Roberts did most of the announcing at that time. But I'll tell you one thing who ever wrote the theme to that they sure did one hell of a job putting it together. As a matter of fact I remember that theme song had lyrics to it. You might want to go through the archives and look for the lyrics to The secret Storm theme song because basically it'll tell you pretty much what that soap opera is it all about. As a matter of fact we all remember what the soap opera was all about.

Sometimes it's hard to know, because when they first started videotaping some soaps, they either didn't have videotape editing machines, or those machines were only for network news divisions--so the first taped soap operas were done "live on tape"--performed just like it was live, but taped without any cuts or later editing. Dark Shadows, for example, is famous for the flubbed lines, strange miscues, and boom mics or cameras getting caught in shots. Those bloopers weren't corrected because there was no tape editing.

This is from when soap operas were "antiques". LOTS of descriptive dialog to push the plot along "So...Ann decided to keep her baby?" . "Well if Jerry comes back from Europe ; he may feel differently and do something about that". 2 people in a room talking endlessly about others....Someone goes upstairs and does not come back down for 5 months.....just boring as hell. By 1977 , soaps got way better and more ACTION . More SPICE. Not every character was a "cookie cutter" . The scenery got better .
