WHAT SOAPS DO YOU WATCH AND FOR HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU WATCHED EACH ONE?  WHAT GOT YOU STARTED?

I watch GH and OLTL and have since they first came on the air.  My mom watched them their first days and I was right there beside her as a VERY tiny girl.  I remember Janie and Howie and Lucille and Jim, Cathy and Anna Craig.  I started watching AMC in 2001 and caught onto it pretty fast.  Never was able to watch Port Charles due to my cable company not carrying it.

FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER FROM EACH SHOW ?

GH:  I always liked Jake Mayer, but Joe Kelly is a reeeeally close second, Robert Scorpio, Coleman.

OLTL:  Todd, Carlo Hesser, Dylan Moody (but just to look at, no talking allowed), Patrick Thornhart (also for looking, talking allowed but nothing attempting intelligence), Vince Woleck  

AMC:  Chris Stamp, Palmer, Ryan

FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER, SAME?

GH:  Alexis, Lois, Lucy, Lesley

OLTL: Luna, Dorian, the original Becky Lee Hunt, Madame Delfina  

AMC:  Opal, Myrtle

FAVORITE STORYLINE FROM EACH SHOW YOU WATCH (PAST OR PRESENT)?

OLTL:  I’m such a schmaltz.  I love the one where Viki went to heaven and they rounded up all the old actors to play themselves (proving that you age even in heaven), Max rushing to find Maggie Carpenter before she takes her final vows to be a nun, Carla Gray passing for white and getting the smack put down by Mama Sadie, Luna parachuting into town.

GH:  The mixed marrieds – in the beginning, not as it dragged on, any scene with Lucy and Sigmund, the duck, Lois describing Katherine’s poisoning at the Q’s, Edward had a black girlfriend, Lucy and her psychic flashes, BJ’s heart, Stone’s death, Tiffany and Sean’s wedding (Elsie Mae – snick).  

AMC:  I LOVED when Jesse was haunting Tad.

LEAST FAVORITE MALE CHARACTER FROM EACH?

OLTL:  Sam, Brian Kendall (Pat’s smart-mouthed son), David Vickers, Andrew (what a FAT hypocrite – It’s a wonder his tongue doesn’t catch fire when he says, “sins of the flesh”), Sykes before Rae

GH:  Juan, Miguel Morez (no, not anti-Latin…just anti-those guys), Harry – Sonny’s ex-right hand man (I KNEW that guy was up to something), Alan, Jerry Jacks

AMC:  MATEO!!!

LEAST FAVORITE FEMALE CHARACTER FROM EACH?

OLTL: (Get your stones ready to throw)  Marty Saybrooke, Tina Roberts, Gabrielle

GH:  Bobbie, Felicia is a close second, Monica

AMC:  Laura English, Brooke, Gillian

LEAST FAVORITE STORYLINE FROM EACH?

OLTL:  Barbara and Kevin in the wine cellar, when Bo was posing as that general guy,

GH:  Luke & Felicia, Juan’s musical career, Emily as a model, Katherine and the sperm sample, Felicia and Tom Hardy’s sexual escapades, Bobbie and Alan’s fling

AMC: Dixie and David's "romance."
