Jeff_from_Kentucky -> RE: The most annoying character on a soap opera (6/20/2008 10:48:17 PM)

I grew up watching the CBS soaps in the 1970s - ATWT, GL, Y&R, Search For Tomorrow and Edge of Night. Yes, the latter two were CBS soaps at that time. One thing I have noticed about the soaps in recent years is that the writers and producers have made caricatures out of the characters. Some examples of what I am talking about are Reva and Alan on GL, Victor on Y&R, and the entire Hughes family on ATWT. None of those people are even likable anymore. Even when they were bad guys at their meanest, you couldn't help but like Victor and Alan. Now, they are nothing but a joke. It's almost as if the networks are intentionally driving viewers away so that they will have an excuse to cancel all the soaps.
