Stories
My mother is a fan of her “stories”.
And by “stories” I mean Soap Operas.
Some of these shows have been around for 40+ years, but most of them have been cancelled!
Kind of interesting they lasted as long as they did….all new every weekday except holidays…maybe too expensive?
Maybe there aren’t a lot of people home during the day to watch them?
Maybe they’re no longer relevant?
Lots of people earned their chops in Soaps…

What does the future hold for these shows?!
WELL
Word on the e-streets is that 2 are trying a new medium…the Internets!
All My Children and One Life to Live are now running exclusively online!
Mother says some of the characters are the same, but a lot are new.
Will these “stories” of yesteryear survive?
I’m kinda curious about them myself…might check them out.
I really only remember names and faces from “nap time” when I was little…
