I think soaps are among the funniest things on TV - especially when AMC
characters have fantasies and the actors wind up acting out completely bizarre
things. Also, half the fun is predicting what is going to happen or what lines 
are coming next.

Tad and Dotty have to sleep together so she can get pregnant when she doesn't
want to - it's the irony factor. The other two story lines bore me, but I can't
wait for Erica to fall for Jeremy or Gilles (unless Brooke does first) - any
bets?

My favorite scene from AMC in the past five years:
When Tad leaves Hilary and Bob's wedding to walk into a video (and get held up 
by Mickey).
