Super Soap Scenes: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama’s Greatest Moments

From the first radio soap opera in 1930 to network television and streaming today, daytime dramas have been full of heart-tugging, heart-breaking, and heart-stopping moments, storylines, and performances.

But which can be classified as the very, very best of the genre? NYT best-selling author of “As the World Turns” tie-ins, “Oakdale Confidential” and “The Man From Oakdale,” “Guiding Light” tie-in “Jonathan’s Story,” and the “Another World” continuation “Another World Today” Alina Adams asked fans to share their favorites from the past ninety-five years. She then asked the actors, writers, producers, and directors who created those memorable moments to spill the behind-the-scenes scoop on how each came together.

You’ll hear from:

* Hilary B. Smith about Nora and Bo’s rock-and-roll “One Life to Live” wedding

* Eden Riegel on Bianca coming out to her formidable mother, Erica Kane, on “All My Children”

* Sharon Gabet recalling Raven and Sky’s “Edge of Night” life-or-death confrontation in the Swiss Alps

* Headwriter Jill Lorie Hurst on how “Guiding Light’s” Olivia and Natalia fell in love

* Actors featured on the final episode of “Another World”

* Jess Walton reminiscing about Jill and Kay’s “The Young and the Restless” feud

* James Reynolds on how Abe ended up stuck between two wives on “Days of our Lives”

* Lane Davies performing a “Santa Barbara” soliloquy to a used pregnancy test

* Thom Racina, the Headwriter forced to marry “General Hospital’s” Luke and Laura earlier than planned due to the demands of one very famous wannabe wedding guest

And many, many more moments from all of the above plus “The Bold and the Beautiful,” “As the World Turns,” “Generations,” “Sunset Beach,” “Dark Shadows,” “Port Charles,” “Ryan’s Hope,” “Search for Tomorrow,” and other classic shows, along with some never before seen backstage photos!

“Super Soap Scenes: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama’s Greatest Moments” is a book no soap fan can live – or come back from the dead – without!
