I loved snuggling with my Gran & she watched Coronation Street at 2:30 every Wednesday. Ah the memories.Patio Postcardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04491809927236242223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-57595679773318934182016-04-12T21:31:03.443-04:002016-04-12T21:31:03.443-04:00OHMYGOSH...so funny! Another World was my mom'...OHMYGOSH...so funny! Another World was my mom's absolute favourite soap. She never missed an episode. I used to watch with her when I was very young and didn't understand much of it. Still, it was kind of nice hanging out with my mom and sharing this. I remember there was some kid on the show that they called Ali (Allie?...not sure of the spelling) and I liked the name so much that I thought that if I was ever to have a daughter I'd like to call her that. Fast forward into the future, my younger daughter's full name is Alexandra but we call her...you guessed it...Allie!<br /><br />My mom also got into General Hospital for awhile and I watched with her occasionally but not often enough to really get into it. Other than that, I never was a fan of soap operas. There seemed so repetitive and predictable, and I found myself getting bored very quickly.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09262406079948479112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-21093707241412065502016-04-12T18:32:03.242-04:002016-04-12T18:32:03.242-04:00I must admit...I watched General Hospital for year...I must admit...I watched General Hospital for years. <br />When my grandparents finally got a TV in the very early eighties, my grandfather (of all people!) became a fan as well. We would often compare notes on our favorite show and it always made me giggle that HE was watching it too. <br />But, those days are long gone. Not much time for TV anymore, and I generally fall asleep as soon as I sit down anyway.Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03599739740886087571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2372726504543914139.post-44212867660100500682016-04-12T16:48:48.948-04:002016-04-12T16:48:48.948-04:00Hi little Red Hen, I think you are a new commenter...Hi little Red Hen, I think you are a new commenter.

I remember skipping class in grade 13 so I could see Luke and Laura get married. The only one I watch now is Corrie too. On pvr of course so I can fast forward through the stupid parts as well.

Where are you up to in the storylines? <br />My HG watches the Australian soap Home and Away and that does my head in. Because NO ONE EVER eats on tree. Try walk in, looking gorgeous, go to the fridge, poor a big glass of fresh orange and promptly walk off leaving it. Same with meals. Much prep goes on. They never EAT IT. It drives me to distraction!!

Well, I am 79! ,-)<br /><br />But later, I did watch the night time ones. Like Dallas and Dynasty.<br /><br />And watched some of the afternoon ones, for a while. <br /><br />Guess I had a varied smattering of "Soaps." :-) <br /><br />Tessa a writing placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10584910865001570480noreply@blogger.com
