Re: Your story?
Yeah, the Bold story lines are getting hard to swallow! I began watching when I worked at a home the summer after high school for elderly and disabled residents. They watched CBS news with lunch, then Bold was on after, when I was cleaning the dining room. So, that is how I got into it.
Mom was a Days' fan, so I did keep up with that off and on, but could not take the amount of time they dragged story lines out.

Re: Your story?
airtime has much to do with it. In the US in the '50's CBS-TV had The Secret Storm at 4:15 pm and The Edge of Night at 4:30 - ideal times for relaxing when you got home from school. In the '70's when I lived abroad Swedish TV carried Emmerdale Farm in the early evening, perfect for after-dinner viewing. Now with VCRs I suspect air time makes little or no difference.

I was never that big of a soap fan. But I recall many visits to my aunt's house when I was a kid, and she'd be watching her soaps, mostly those on CBS. Even in the early 70s, soaps still used organ music.

How did you all "find" your soap of choice?
