LOL
I absolutely hated them, until I married an American!
Then still had no understanding...until, I found out some of the most 'cool' people
LOVE them, and watch them.
I got hooked later in time, for 2 years....For Americans, they find some 'normality' in watching.
Guess that's why they really did 'invent' them....No not really my-cup-of-Tea.
I stopped watching as soon as I found I was hooked too.
'Guiding Light' was America's longest Soap Opera.
Started on Radio, then went to T.V. when they came into being.
Ran 72 years!!!! can you believe that?
