This is a think-piece (all opinions in this are mine unless tagged otherwise), & something I’ve pondered for some time now. So whilst I’m sitting in the Library trying to figure out which WIP to work on (probably the soap I created at 14 years old, in 2002, that's now in its 75th year*) but for now, I’ll purge this thought before I lose it. With the cancellation of Neighbours  (& I loved Annalise hinting at this soap as an area ‘just outside of Sydney that has managed to avoi

This was an answer I wrote on Quora to a question about favourite soaps , so I figured, why not add it on here as well. Preface: this answer does change quite often so as of today's publication date, 22-Feb-2026, this is how it stands. 5. For longevity, & general love - Coronation Street Image Source : I chose the 2010 cast photo as this is the era in which I fully committed to this soap. I do love this one, though it’s currently not my fav, but it’s up there, & one I do kee

How did the 3:30 PM time slot affect the success of soap operas? I can only speak to this as an Australian viewer, and from my recollection, there were only ever two US American soap operas airing around that timeframe — Passions , and The Bold & the Beautiful  (fellow Aussies, please correct me if I’m wrong, though I’m speaking from the 2000s onwards).

For years, I had a TV song from a 90s cartoon show stuck in my head (& if you've Googled any sort of lyrics trying to find where it came from then you're not alone. & if you're looking for this one in particular, then here it is): “I’m in love with a big pink poodle, He’s my man and he cooks me strudel, Calls me sugar, sweet as candy, He gets very nasty cause he’s my baby, When the night falls, I take him for a walk, He follows my footsteps, Ain’t no need to talk.” Transcript
