I used to always watch Passions wayyyy back when it started. (I just checked on imdb and that was in '99. haha). I watched it until probably 2003, and then I stopped because it was getting too... unrealistic. lol
I watched Days of our Lives every once and while when I used to watch Passions (they were on back-to-back), and Sunset Beach too before it got cancelled.
And just recently, I got into As the World Turns. My grandmother watches it, and I was at her house when she watched it, and I got hooked. The guy who plays Luke is insanely hot. (me thinking a character who is gay to be hot? not anything new... lol).
And I'm going to be going off to college, so having a soap opera as something to watch to procrastinate doing work is always good.
