What is your favorite soap(s)? I guess Y&R although it's been months since I was able to watch without my finger on the fast forward button of the remote.

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character? Alltime? Wow....I have loved so many couples through the years....loved Nick and Sharon on Y&R and I am still looking forward to them reuniting.....but my all time favorite couple is probably Mac and Rachel on AW.

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair? No one....not one single couple on either of the shows I watch is worth a hill of beans.

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan? Definitely an actor fan.....perfect example is the young man in my signature....I adore Joshua. He is one of the nicest men I've ever met, but Nick is an idiot. :laugh:

Why do you love your favorite show? What keeps you tuning in every day? Right now the only thing keeping me tuned in is habit. Y&R has been horrible for the past three years. It all started when they decided to kill off Cassie. I wish they had sent her to boarding school instead.

[Khan]

Name: Rashad
Location: OK
Age: Same age as DK when he became HW at GL (yet, he's there and I'm...not).

How many soaps do you watch on a daily basis?
As of right now? Two. OLTL, and Y&R. I try to follow all, though, via the mags and message boards.

How long have you been watching soaps?
Since 1982.

Do you watch LIVE or on SOAPnet?
On SN.

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

Do you watch alone or with someone?
Alone.

Do you watch NBC, CBS or ABC soaps?
CBS and ABC.

What is your favorite soap(s)?
Daytime? GL. Primetime? KNOTS LANDING.

Who is your favorite ALL-TIME Daytime couple/pair/character?
Couple/Pair: Quinton & Nola (GL), followed by Mason & Julia (SANTA BARBARA).
Character(s): Male - Dr. John Dixon (ATWT), Gregory Sumner (KNOTS) and Mason Capwell (SB). Female - Nola Reardon and Rita Stapleton Bauer (both GL), and Jillian Coleridge (RYAN'S HOPE).

Who is your favorite CURRENT character/couple/pair?
Couple/Pair: Um...none, really.
Character: Believe it or not? Nigel Bartholomew-Smythe (OLTL).

Do you think you're an actor fan or a character fan?
Definitely, a "character fan." Just because an actor has left one soap for another, that doesn't mean I'll leave just to follow her/him.

What has been your favorite storyline from your favorite soap?
Aside from Quint/Nola? Well, on OLTL, there was the Jenny Wolek/Katrina Karr baby-switch story; and on KNOTS, the saga of Val's babies' kidnapping. (Gothic romances and babies in jeopardy, that's me, lol!)

Favorite Actor(s)?
Larry Bryggman (ex-John, ATWT) and Michael Zaslow (Roger, GL).

Favorite Actress(s)?
Lisa Brown (ex-Nola, GL; ex-Iva, ATWT) and Beverlee McKinsey (Iris, ANOTHER WORLD; ex-Alexandra, GL).

Do you write the show/actors in support or to complain? If you don't, would you?
No, and no. I feel like the best way to make my displeasure known is to stop watching (provided, fire-bombing the studio(s) is not an option).

Do you buy soap magazines? If so, which ones?
Yes, and any which DON'T promise such-and-such story "Will Change [Enter Soap Town Here] FOREVER!"

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

Are you a spoiler whore or spoiler free?
I don't get hung up on that, really. If I know, it's fine; and if I don't, that's fine, too.

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?
Well, since I don't watch my "favorite show" anymore, lol, I don't know how to answer that question. I will say, though, that what I loved most about GL, and ATWT, back in the day, was the attention to families and history. Soaps are not built on supercouples or outlandish storylines, but simple, human relationships that reflect our own. Also, as Doug Marland once said, "...good stories, and good actors. That's all you need."
