Other than "Passions," which obviously was last
year, I know the four ABC soaps and the two William J.
Bell soaps on CBS:
"General Hospital": 1963 (as
Beth has said)
"One Life to Live": 1968
"All My
Children": 1970
"Port Charles": 1997 (also said by
Beth)
"The Young and the Restless": 1973
"The Bold and
the Beautiful": 1987
Then I looked in my TV
Almanac and found out the following:
"Guiding
Light": radio 1937-1952; TV 1952-
"As the World
Turns": 1956
"Days of Our Lives": 1965
So, the
order is:
GL 6/30/52
ASWT 4/2/56
GH
4/1/63
Days 11/8/65
OLTL 7/15/68
AMC 6/5/70
Y&R
3/26/73
B&B 3/1987
PC 6/1997
Passions
7?/1999
