Tunhope Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I dont have a TV or a licence to watch any streaming services or catch-up, so, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunose2772 Posted December 18, 2020 Share Posted December 18, 2020 I did at one time. After getting a medical discharge from the Navy I was in a deep depression for months. I'd watch soap operas because it was somewhat comforting to see someone else have a life more screwed up then mine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OptimisticPessimist Posted December 18, 2020 Author Share Posted December 18, 2020 I watch Neighbours and Classic Corrie (that's on in the afternoon and also on catchup). Modern corrie, i don't keep up with. I'm in and out of Emmerdale, it depends which character's are in the episode. Tried watching classic emmerdale which is also on in the afternoon beofre Classic corrie and couldn't get into it. I really used to love Hollyoaks but haven't watched it in ages now, used to watch Eastenders and Home and Away too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Alien Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 The worst acting and writing on the lowest budget? It’s not entertaining to me. It just creates a deep cringe feeling in my gut that makes me want to turn it off and forget I’ve ever seen it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I only sit through them when they're on while I'm visiting my Grandma. They're painfully, excruciatingly, mind-numbingly bad. There's one soap opera which they shoot in a town I know fairly well, so I like the snippets where they show the landscape. But... ugh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Libellule Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 I don't watch soap operas. They were quite a big deal when I was in my early teen years but most of them have ended now anyways. I tried to watch the very first episode of a German soap opera called Verbotene Liebe (Forbidden Love) last year but couldn't get through it because of how bad it was. Not to mention incredibly unrealistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzipueo Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 The only time I watched a soap opera willingly, my sister and I were stuck at home over summer and we both got caught up in the most outrageous plotline on Days of Our Lives (US daytime show): one of the MCs, named Marlaina (sp?), gets possessed by the devil and the entire season was taken up by the rest of the cast trying to get her back. Gotta love the 1980s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 Only Neighbours, but not all the time. It's always sunny (in Australia, not Philadelphia) and there's usually something funny (or at least very cheesy) going on. I don't really like it when it gets too serious or miserable (like Sonya's illness/death) - that's usually when I start to lose interest. It also has a very good looking cast TBH.
