Truthfully, the only soap I have gotten completely and utterly addicted to was Dark Shadows. You can't go wrong with a soap when one of the main characters is a vampire! SciFi used to run reruns twice a day, and every day I taped it and watched it and speculated. I got a little bit obsessed. I was lucky; SciFi stopped showing it and I had to go cold turkey.
Then I got addicted to a Spanish soap opera on Telemundo, which was made doubly worse by the fact that I could only understand about half of what was being said. I had to force myself to stop watching that one.
Since then I've studiously avoided daytime dramas, mostly because I know that if I watch even one episode I'm going to be so incredibly hooked I'll need a seven-step program.
