That should count for something. Penny and Jeff were the first super couple. Eileen Fulton played the first "bitch" as well as be featured in the first and only prime time spin off. ATWT also had Kathy Hayes who is a super actress who won emmy nominations for 2 prime time tv shows. Not to forget Meg Ryan, Julliane Moore, and others who started on this show. <br />To be fair all the shows merit praise but it does seem ATWT is underated as a classic soap.Timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393957833326903896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-10741693168090928432012-09-19T14:21:19.440-04:002012-09-19T14:21:19.440-04:00Is there a special reason why One Life to Live is ...Is there a special reason why One Life to Live is not on the list?

For those griping about that, this show helped put fledgling ABC Daytime on the map and redefined the vampire character for many shows to follow. It also is the only soap I know of to be completely available on DVD, have a TV remake and 3 movies made from it, one of the movies being A list all the way. <br /><br />It was a sensation in its time, although frankly, I do agree that GH on the basis of the hysteria over Luke and Laura probably deserves the top spot.Blippiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506552508589915567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-160685354651315792012-09-19T01:50:49.108-04:002012-09-19T01:50:49.108-04:00No GL, the granddaddy!

Ryan's Hope, Santa Barbara, Search for Tomorrow, The Edge of Night are other shows that might have received lots of votes. And B&B of the remaining daytime soaps.<br /><br />It's cool that Dark Shadows, off the air 41 years, still has such a passionate fanbase.
