If you're a female baby boomer, like I am, I'm sure you can relate to this discussion. I grew up on SOAPS (or, as the older generation calls them, "stories"). I don't remember a time before SOAPS. During my childhood (60's and 70's) there were only three major networks, and my mother watched the stories which ran on ABC. I continued watching those same SOAPS during my young adult years and then stopped watching them during my 30's (never had enough time). Well, now thanks to cable t.v., I'm back watching them again because one cable station allows me to watch the stories I enjoy most at a time other than the middle of a weekday afternoon when I'm at work. Sure, soaps aren't realistic and sure most all of the characters live their lives in a way which is total opposite of my moral beliefs, but they're entertaining to me. And they also keep me connected to the earlier part of my life since some of the characters have been around since my childhood.
Oh, got to go. . . . one of my favorite stories is about to come on.
