Oh wow, flashbacks.

I started with Guiding Light with my grandmother then graduated to Days of Our Lives during the era of Jack and Melissa.

I remember covering my book with a homemade scrapbook of Jack and Melissa photos. rofl

General Hospital and Days Of Our Lives. I still watch about once every 2-3 months to keep up. HA!HA!

Hands down - General Hospital. It was the Luke & Laura time. Very hot!

Another World. God, I loved that show. Watched from the time I was a little kid, 'cuz I had two sisters a lot older than me. Also loved General Hospital, but it doesn't seem to have the same quality of storylines it once had. *sigh* Maybe I'm getting old?

As a teen, I got hooked on General Hospital wondering if Robert Scorpio and Holly would ever get together. That led to As The World Turns and I was always glued to the screen when Royce was on the screen. I took on The Bold and The Beautiful simply because it's not every day you get to see a soap start. So jump in! But one day there was some alien story line on General Hospital and it all slowly died from there. It all became too predictable and sometimes silly. I guess it was just a phase. :-)

Mine was General Hospital.

At this point, I'm wondering if there's a connection, since my blog is "General" Hysteria. Hmmmm. LOL.

I wasn't officially a teenager yet, but my favorite teen soap was "Never Too Young." I would be very surprised if any of you had ever heard of it. I was pretty young, and my mother had forbidden me to watch it, so I had to hang out at the neighbors' homes to get my Tony Dow fix. Quite a change from being the Beaver's brother, that's all I'm sayin'.

Days of our Lives! I remember watching that (along with Another World) with my mom growing up. Even through college we had a Days of our Lives meetup on our dorm floor. I actually only stopped watching it a few years ago, but I still catch an episode or so every few weeks.

I have to say my favorites now and still today are the young and restless and the guiding lights :)

To follow in my mom's footsteps, I watched Young and the Restless. But, it was always SO serious.
I was a big fan of Santa Barbara...Cruz and Eden were the best. I also watched All My Children and General Hospital.

While I stayed at home with my daughter after she was born, I started watching Days of Our Lives. However, now, I don't watch any of them. The funny thing is now, I can flip through the channels and catch a show - and it seems to picks up right where it left off.
