Since I was a child I have been addicted to soap operas. I am always watching one or two that are on TV at the moment. Sometimes I see soap operas from different channels, to be different, but the fact is that I spend a whole year watch some soap opera. Do you have soap operas on your TV? And do you follow any of them? Are you also addicted as I am?

When I was a teenager, I watched four soap operas every day. One day, the story line on one of them got just too ridiculous and I stopped watching all of them, cold turkey. I have never wasted my time on them again.

@fufurinha What are some of the good soap operas you enjoy watching? I wonder if they are different in each country?

I do not like soap operas even if I know that they are broadcast on local TV.

@fufurinha Yes, when I visit my Mom she watches the soaps and keep the TV on while we are eating. This is something I hate.

I am not addicted to soap opera. I like to watch Hong Kong TV series, I am not sure if they are similar. But I can't be addicted too, as it's quite time consuming to watch the series, and I don't have much time to sit in front of the TV.

Soap opera is a bit different from a regular series.

I do have them, but I don't watch them anymore. I find that there are better things to watch, at least for myself anyway. I haven't watched them in about five years, and I don't miss them. I used to be an addict,too. I would watch at least three a day.

It has been many years since I watched soap opera but I do like them strangely. The one I watched when I was pregnant and at home was General Hospital with Luke and Laura..I loved it couldnt get enough of it. My favorite of all time however was a soap by Aaron Spelling called Sunset Beach. I was so sorry to see it go. What soaps do you watch in your country?

I don't have the time to even keep up with soap operas. I tried to once when there was one my mom watched, but since then, haven't even bothered trying.

I usually watch my soap opera while I am at the internet (and on myLot).

I really never got into them. My mom used to be a huge fan of soap operas when I was younger. I found them boring and full of drama.
