Name: First only please.
Ash

Location: State only please.
Massachusetts

Age: if you'd like to give it.
25 :whistle:

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis?
On a daily basis? Well, I don't really have time for that, but I've followed AMC, OLTL and GH all my life.

How long have you been watching soaps?
All my life :thumbsup:

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet?
SOAPnet or clips

Do you DVR/TIVO or record your soaps?[/b}
Nope- other people do it for me :flowers:

Do you watch alone or with someone?
I find it irritating to watch with someone who's not as into it as I am, so I usually watch alone.

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps?
ABC

What is your favorite soap(s)?
Classically, GH. Currently, OLTL.

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character?
Oh, cannot choose, cannot choose! Um, for couple, it would have to be Jax and Brenda (GH), barely edging out Robin and Stone (also GH), and John and Natalie (OLTL) are in there, too. Characters, and this is probably no surprise, Robin Scorpio, Brenda Barrett, and Elizabeth Webber from GH and Natalie and Jessica Buchanan from OLTL. With a strong presence from Kendall Hart on AMC.

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair?
Jared and Natalie on OLTL, they are just owning me. JNJ, OT3, y'all!

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan?
I think I'm definitely an actor fan. Rick Hearst has been written as a villain for years, but he just sucks me in and I feel such sympathy for this devil. And on the other hand, Steve Burton, everyone's favorite hero has been fast-forward material for me for as long as I can remember.

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap?
The Robin and Stone storyline, just was so well-written, and such a complete story from beginning to end.

Favorite Actor(s)?
Rick Hearst, Thorsten Kaye and Tuc Watkins really own ABC.

Favorite Actress(s)?
Kimberly McCullough, Robin Strasser and Melissa Archer, and Alicia Minshew.

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you?
I have, once or twice.

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones?
When I pass by in the grocery store, ABC SID.

Do you buy those magazines in the store or do you get it delivered by mail?
store

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free?
Who you calling a whore! LOL, I'm trying to not look. I think it makes it much more enjoyable when you don't know what's happening.

Do you collect soap stuff like autographs, props, scripts, or other momentos?
Nope

[b]Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day?

For OLTL and AMC, they've had some rough patches, but they've been consistently good all these years, with all these characters I've grown to love and they've changed with the times, but still kept their traditions. For GH, I'm just holding out a wing and a prayer that it will one day get good again.

Don't have time to post the whole complete list of answers, but I have been watching GH for almost 30 years. I love the Qs. Tracy is my favorite character. I loved Ned/Dillon/Alan and the rest of the bunch as well. I have really enjoyed the Luke/Tracy storyline cause it gave JE more airtime.

I have recently come to enjoy Lusam, spin/max and Jlex pairings.

My favorite other characters besides Tracy are Maxie, Alexis and I love Diane now!

I have three kids and am a stay at home mom living in Houston!

Thanks for letting me post here Ryan!

Name: Manny (not my real name, but you all wouldn't know how to pronounce my real name.. lol)
Location: Zagreb, Croatia
Age: 24

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis?
None actually... I recently gave up GH... that was the last soap I watched.. but I still follow GH and DAYS through spoilers and recaps...

How long have you been watching soaps?
Since like I was 10...

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet?
Neither... lol

Do you DVR/TIVO or record your soaps?
Nope...

Do you watch alone or with someone?

Always alone.. not many soap fans around me in real life..

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps?
I don't care which network it is.. if it is good drama, I'll watch.. But DAYS was my soap for years and in the last year, I got into GH..

What is your favorite soap(s)?
Well, my all time favorites are Days of Our Lives and Sunset Beach. But I do think GH could be great (if it didn't revolve so much around same characters and death..). Also I LOVED Y&R before LML came...

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character?
My fav couple is, of course, Bo and Hope from DAYS... they are followed by Liz & Lucky from GH and Nick and Sharon from Y&R.
My single fav characters are: Phyllis from Y&R (before she became a happy housewife), Nicole from DAYS, Alexis from GH, Hope from DAYS...

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair?
Well Bo and Hope.. :) L&L aren't together and neither are Sharon and Nick... I don't think I really LOVE any other couple...

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan?
If I really had to choose, I would say actor fan... because great actors can make really bad characters somewhat good, but great characters can't really make bad actors good... lol

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap?
Shockwave (SuBe), Elena Nichols' Murder (Santa Barbara), The Masquarader (The City), MetroCourt Crisis (GH), Baby Switch (DAYS), Coronation (DAYS)...

Favorite Actor(s)?
Ric Hearst, Greg Vaughn, Lane Davies...

Favorite Actress(s)?
Michelle Stafford, Nancy Lee Grahn, Kristian Alfonso, Sharon Case...

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you?
I don't write... and I don't think I ever will.. lol

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones?
No... they don't come out where I live..

Do you buy those magazines in the store or do you get it delivered by mail?
-

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free?
If I am really into a show, I am spoiler free... I was spoiler free for GH for a whole year of watching...

Do you collect soap stuff like autographs, props, scripts, or other momentos?
No...

Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day?
Well, right now, like I said, I don't watch any soap.. but I love sense of familiarity... feeling connected to the character... that's probably the reason #1..

Name: Brittany
Location: Nova Scotia. Yup I'm Canadian.
Age: 17, soon to be 18.

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis? ATWT & GH

How long have you been watching soaps? 9 years

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet? Nope, don't get Soapnet.

Do you DVR/TIVO or record your soaps? Nope.

Do you watch alone or with someone? Alone. I can't stand it when people ask me questions during the show. It drives me insane.

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps? Yes, I use to watch NBC soaps now I don't. I watch ATWT sometimes I watch B&B. I watch GH everyday even though I try to stop. I use to watch AMC, I tune in during the summer sometimes, and I don't watch OLTL anymore.

What is your favorite soap(s)? GH. I know, it is my favorite right now because I love to hate it.

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character? Theresa&Ethan (PSSNS), Theresa&Fox (PSSNS), Lucky&Sam (GH), Zach&Kendall (AMC), Carly& anyone but Tony(GH, yeah I pretty much like her with everyone so I am easy to please when it comes to Carly), Holden&Lily(ATWT)

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair? Patrick&Robin (GH), Maxie&Spinelli(GH, they might as well be a couple), Johnny&Lulu(GH), Luke&Noah(ATWT)

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan? I am an actor fan. No matter what I will always like the actor even if I hate the character. I do have such respect for actors and it drives me up the wall when people make up ish about them.

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap? The Metro Court Hostage Crisis, even though Alan died. It was just amazing.

Favorite Actor(s)? All of them but my favorites are Bradford because he can do drama and have it be so well. And he is an amazing comedic actor and it is much harder to do comedy so I hear. Scott is also my favorite for the same reasons. Dillon always gets some funny stuff.

Favorite Actress(s)? I love them all and for my fave actresses there is a 5 way tie. Lindsay Hartley, Lindze Letherman, Laura Wright, Kelly Monaco, and Kirsten Storms. They are just all so amazing.

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you? I do e-mail Frons trying to get Lindze back. She would have stayed, she wanted to stay. There were so many ways they could have went with Georgie. I just don't feel her death was justified and Diego wouldn't have killed her. Sorry, he loved her.

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones? Hardly ever.

Do you buy those magazines in the store or do you get it delivered by mail? If I get them I get them as an impulse buy before I leave the store, while I am waiting in line.

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free? I am not a spoiler whore. I do intentially look at spoilers but on the other hand I don't. If the thread happens to contain spoilers w/e I don't care I'll go in it anyway. So I am not a spoiler whore, and I am not spoiler free either. Sometimes I want to know what is going to happen, but on the other hand I just like to have a rough idea of what is going to happen.

Do you collect soap stuff like autographs, props, scripts, or other momentos? I'd like to but I live in Canada, and I don't have money to do that stuff. And I don't have a passport so I don't.

Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day? I guess I love it. I think it is more that I have an unhealthy addiction to it and that is what keeps me tuned it. It certainly isn't because the writing is good.

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis? 2 -- ATWT and GL

How long have you been watching soaps? My whole life!

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet? Neither

Do you DVR/TIVO or record your soaps? I'm still in VCR land!

Do you watch alone or with someone? alone, normally

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps? CBS

What is your favorite soap(s)? ATWT and GL (I can't choose between them)

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character? GL's Hart and Dinah were my favorite couple

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair? At this very moment, ATWT's Chris and Alison (redux!)

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan? Primarily actor(s)

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap? All the great love stories, i.e. Jack and Carly, (early) Manny, and even the controversial Jammy.

Favorite Actor(s)? Michael Park. (and Trent Dawson and several others that I like a great deal)

Favorite Actress(s)? Mandy Bruno (and others)

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you? I write certain actors, but it is usually not specifically for support and never complaining. Although, I have written the execs and magazines very sparingly to complain.

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones? I seem to be eternally subscribed to Soap Opera Digest. Occasionally, I will buy one of the other mags if it has something that interests me when I happen to flip through it at the store.

Do you buy those magazines in the store or do you get it delivered by mail? Oh, I guess I just answered that.

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free? I am somewhere in the middle. I don't avoid them, but I don't have to have them, either.

Do you collect soap stuff like autographs, props, scripts, or other momentos? Mostly I like to have pictures with the actors...I do have quite a few autographs and some other mementos--most notably, my "Company" sign (the old GL prop)

Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day? Well, part of it is that I have been watching these shows for my whole life and it would be foreign to me not to watch them. But, they consistently entertain me, making me laugh or cry or maybe even scream.

Hi, Ilovethesoaps, but my name is Pat. I have been watching soaps with my mom, baby sitter, aunts, cousins etc, forever! I DVR, the soaps. I can't remember NOT watching gl. I watch all the cbs soaps. I sometimes watch gh, because of LW who is one of my favorite soap actress. My favorite all time couple has to be Reva and Josh. I don't have a favorite couple now. When, I watch the soaps most of the time I'am alone! I like it that way! i have writtten to the tptb for gl, the writing is so poor now a days! Right now my favorite actress on gl is GT, (Dinah) actor (Mallet) I like the easy way he goes about whatever he does! I like to read the soap mags at the super market, and I like to go online to find out what is going on the soaps. I'am a spoiler junkie! I keep turning in for most of the cbs shows because I want to see whats going on! I don't go to the events that the soaps have mainley because . . . I just don't. I don't get pictures or anything else. I just enjoy watching them on the soaps. I live in Ca. so we are the last to see the soaps, but we talk as if we know them and are NEVER at a loss to say how we feel about what is or is'nt going on with the soaps. I have friends that watch and we really have a great time talking about who we like and who we hate. Its all in fun. :)

"Kendall and Zach? They're untouchable. Ok? They take the vow 'through good times and bad' to a whole new level. I mean, they've been through comas and affairs and tornados and bomb shelters...and rogue lesbian kisses. Any crisis you can imagine. I am telling you, nothing comes between Kendall and Zach. Nothing. Not even when they're apart. He's not alone. All right? She is there with him. Maybe not physically, but she's there all the same. They're inseparable, ok? Every single thing he does, every decision he makes is either for or about Kendall."- Tad Martin 8/25/09

Age: if you'd like to give it.
32

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis?
How about the ones I *don't* watch anymore. GH I barely keep track of, and ATWT is back to a one-day-a-week viewing. Still watching the others, although B&B and OLTL are my top two favorites now.

How long have you been watching soaps?
Since birth, although the earliest I remember is around 85-ish.

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet?
Live or DVR

Do you DVR/TIVO or record your soaps?[/b}
Whoops. Yeah, see above for the answer to that. :-)

[b]Do you watch alone or with someone?
Alone, unless you count the people I discuss it with live while viewing (the few times I do watch live.

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps?
All three

What is your favorite soap(s)?
Of all time? Another World. Right now? One Life to Live.

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character?
Seriously? Uhh... Mason and Julia on Santa Barbara, Jake and Paulina on Another World, Jack and Jennifer (OLD SCHOOL ONLY) on Days, Tad and Dixie on AMC, David and Dorian on OLTL, Sonny and Brenda (again, OLD SCHOOL ONLY) on GH, Roger and Holly on GL, in all their incarnations... there are just way too many to name.

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair?
Nobody's really rocking my world the way they used to - but if I had to narrow it down, I'd say Rex on OLTL, with anyone he shares a scene with.

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan?
A character fan. As long as they are WRITTEN IN CHARACTER.

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap?
Going on AW, I guess my favorite story is Who Shot Jake?

Favorite Actor(s)?
God, there are way too many to name. Tom Eplin, Lane Davies, Tuc Watkins, Rick Hearst, Michael E. Knight

Favorite Actress(s)?
You're killin' me here. :geek: Robin Strasser, Gina Tognoni, Judi Evans Luciano, Alice Barrett-Mitchell, Alicia Minshew But there are lots of others. I'm sure I'll kick myself for forgetting someone once I hit "POST"

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you?
Not so much anymore.

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones?
I have subscriptions to SOW and SOD.

Do you buy those magazines in the store or do you get it delivered by mail?
Oh. Yeah, I gotta stop jumping ahead in my answers.

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free?
I'll peek at headlines, but if it looks like something I will LOVE, then I stop reading immediately.

Do you collect soap stuff like autographs, props, scripts, or other momentos?
Nope

Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day?
I'll watch any show with great writing. That's my key - actors can be amazing, and they've certainly been known to save some pretty bad stories in the past - but if you give me strong, layered, interesting, complex, intelligent dialogue and storylines, I'll watch you every day, guaranteed.
