The Top 10 Reasons To Watch Soaps: Gigi and Jbo

Jbo and I decided that too many people lack the appreciation for the greatness of Soap Operas. Therefore, we compiled a list of what we believe are the top 10 reasons to watch soaps. They are as follows:

10. "The Moustache

Victor Newman and Jack Abbott hate one another. We all know that. But only true fans will know that Jack's little term of endearment for Victor,"The Moustache", goes back decades.

9. Split Personalities

Split personalities are quite common on soaps. However, No one does it better than OLTL's Bree Williamson. Bree portrays Bess, Tess, and Jess, all of whom are intertwined and have creepy conversations with one another. They even have their own individual fashion sense!

8.Spinelli Speak

Never in daytime has there been a code name king of Spinelli's caliber. I know I get a laugh! I'm sure the "Dark Knight", "Stone Cold", "Maximista", and the "Original Blond One" all do as well. Jbo and I did notice that Luke has his own code names for everyone....Maybe Spin is Luke's son too!

7. Who's Your Daddy Plotlines

Baby daddy drama is a constant on soaps. I think we all got used to the same old same old when it comes to this predictable storyline. Sharon Case showed us how lack of birth control during a manic swing can destroy half of a whole town and one of the most loved couples in daytime.

6. Long Lost Relatives

As unrealistic as these storylines are, they are one of the only avenues that Soap people can use to bring in new actors and old actors that are playing new versions of their old characters. We get that. So I have to ask: Was it really necessary for AMC to come up with this whole convoluted Krystal/Babe/Marissa storyline just to bring in the actress that plays Marissa? If you ask me, she likes like a toy dog of some kind.

5. Dopplegangers and Resurrections:

There are other methods of bringing back old actors as new characters, or just to have a crazy evil twin storyline. Take the case of Adam/Stuart. Stuart was killed so that David Canary could slow down and get better. Now, we will be subjected to annoying Whodunnit brewhaha for months....Victor Newman, Sheila Carter, & Stephano Dimera are examples of people who have been, on more that 2 occasions, have died so that their portrayer can work on other projects. When the actor is ready to return...BOOM...instant "Resurrection".

4. Serial Killers and Long Drawn Out Murder Mysteries

These two go hand in hand on soaps. OLTL fans have just been released from the grips of the KAD Killer Storyline. Powell broke out of the loony bin to reap havoc upon Todd for raping Marty and not accepting responsibility for his part in the crime. Powell did manage to stir up some dust in Llanview before being killed by John McPain.

3. Padded Cells

No soap opera set is exempt for the dreaded "padded cell" set. Whether the contraption is being used via mental hospital or via some sort of love dungeon is and always will be anybody's guess.

2. Cake Fights

We have all come to know and love our catfights and Katherine and Jill have been going at it since Central Park was a grass seed. After discovering that Katherine was not her mother after all, Jill crashed the wedding of Chloe and Billy and started to spew her venom at Katherine. After taking all she could, Katherine screamed out: "Forgive Me Chloe!" and then promptly removed a huge hunk of wedding cake and shoved it in Jill's face. This wedding will go down in history as the Cake Fight Debacle.

And *drum roll* last but not least:

1. Hot Sex: A Must in Natural Disasters and other Random Tragedies

I think we can all agree that soaps are like porn for chics. Having said that, regardless of how entertaining we may find it to be, these storylines take the cake in being the most ridiculous! The top two Natural Disaster Sex Addicts choices are:

Ryan Lavery: Ryan tends to get needy during bad weather. He needs a lot of coddling, holding, and humping.

Nicholas Newman: Nick will use anything, including his daughter Cassie's tragic death, to get a piece of ass. It is a proven fact.

Let me and jbo2231 what you think about our choices for top 10. I am always interested in what others have to say...If you have a top 10 idea, please share! You know where to find me....
