1946: FARAWAY HILL debuted on the DuMont Network. It was the very first television soap opera broadcast on a network. It lasted until December 18. The show's plot revolved around a widowed New Yorker, Karen St. John (played by Flora Campbell), who moved to a small town to be near relatives. NBC and DuMont were the only two networks in operation at that point.
1996: On GENERAL HOSPITAL, Monica dumped Pierce Dorman (Tuc Watkins).
2001: On ALL MY CHILDREN, Erica demanded to know why Frankie was in Bianca's bedroom.
