Does anyone take soaps seriously? My wife and I watch AMC everyday and we
find it hilarious when it tries to get serious. For instance, Nina looking
up at Benny and seeing Zach had us rolling on the floor. The overdramatic
way people acted as Nina was carted off to Oakhaven was also a riot.
Is our reaction common or do other people really "get envolved" with the
soap characters?

I would also be interested in hearing peoples comments on the AMC storylines
envolving Tad/Dotty/Jr. Busboy/Barton/Micky (I think this story line is
boring), and Angie/Jesse/Eugene (how many people think Angie has been a
real jerk for too long).

My favorite line from AMC in the past five years:
Ellen to Nina while looking at a computer listing:
"Look at this page, it has an interesting algorithm on it."
