It continues to be a holiday season like no other as all of us deal with the global coronavirus pandemic that makes visiting loved ones over the holidays nearly impossible. Like us, our favorite soap stars are simply trying to find a way to keep up the Christmas spirit, and luckily for us, they chose to share their best wishes over social media.

More on Soap Opera History

Soap opera began in the early 1900s, as radio broadcasts. Soap companies were behind the conception of the daytime dramas because they wanted to sell soaps to stay-at-home-moms. They did their job and also launched a lifelong programming format, the soap operas.

Spanning more than five decades, American sudsers have seen the rise and fall of daytime soaps. In the heyday of soaps in the early 1980s, there were up to 13 different soap operas broadcasted. However, over the years, the number has declined. Currently, there are only four American soap operas on the air.

Bringing the Drama

The four remaining soap operas currently on the air include Days of our Lives, The Young and the Restless (YR), General Hospital (GH), and The Bold and the Beautiful (BB).  Check your local listings for air times.
