Top Ten Greatest Soap Operas

The Top Ten
1 Days of Our Lives

My mum told me soap operas where awful bad acting and the soaps looked like they where performed on a stage. Days of Our Lives, The Young and the Restless, The Bold and the Beautiful, General Hospital. Emmerdale or Coronation Street should be number 1 not stage soaps.

2 Young and the Restless

Beautiful story line and very emotional ones.

I wish terry lester will come back from the grave and rejoin the cast. may God have mercy on his soul

Yes we are still enjoying the story line, however it is becoming a bit draggy in parts and places wish they would get on with the good story finishes!

Live this story and characters. Wardrobes are beautiful. Been with this story since a child. Love it!

this will last over 70 years.

3 General Hospital

As winner of the most daytime Emmys for best drama, and the longest running drama still on air, and still most watched daytime event ever, GH still rocks and is as good as ever under Chris Van Etten the show has great dialogue and acting, again centering around the hospital, as it should.

Always enjoy the good acting in this Soap, however the story is dragging where the real identity is slowly unfolding..DNA or what?...get on with it!

This should be number 1! The characters and the storylines are just so great!

Yes I love this show!
The men are just beautiful!

4 All My Children
5 The Bold and the Beautiful
6 Another World

I watched AW from the beginning, and was very saddened when it went off the air... my favorite

7 One Life To Live
8 As The World Turns As the World Turns is an American television soap opera that aired on CBS for 54 years from April 2, 1956, to September 17, 2010. Irna Phillips created As the World Turns as a sister show to her other soap opera Guiding Light.
9 Guiding Light
10 Santa Barbara

Best soap opera which has ever been on TV.
It had everything: Humour, unforgettable storylines and great actors.
Too bad that it got cancelled. I guess many, many people would be happy to see the show again but unfortunately it never gets repeated.

The Contenders
11 EastEnders EastEnders is a British soap opera; the first episode was broadcast in the United Kingdom on BBC One on 19 February 1985. EastEnders storylines examine the domestic and professional lives of the people who live and work in the fictional London Borough of Walford in the East End of London.

Best of the best. Nothing can top it! Acting is flawless as well as the writing. Coronation street, Emmerdale and Hollyoaks just copy it, but can never do it like Albert Square.

I don't watch it, but we all know how iconic it is because of the theme music. I don't actually watch any soap opaeras, but I think it's common sence that this is #1. The most I've seen are some clips and the older episodes are better.

12 Dallas
13 Hollyoaks
14 Dynasty
15 Coronation Street Coronation Street is a British soap opera created by Granada Television and shown on ITV since 9 December 1960. The programme centres on Coronation Street in Weatherfield, a fictional town based on inner-city Salford.
16 Passions
17 House of Anubis House of Anubis is a mystery television series developed for Nickelodeon based on the Dutch-Belgian television series Het Huis Anubis.

Like I said this is the best show I have ever seen
