I'm going to reveal another of my deepest, darkest secrets. I love soap operas. I admit it and I'm not ashamed of the fact. There is no need for soap opera snobs to attempt to convert me. I love my soaps and I'm sticking with them.

However, with my busy life, I don't usually get to watch my favorite soaps on television with any kind of frequency. Sometimes I remember to record them and sometimes other things simply get in the way. Therefore, I often have to rely on soap related magazines to fill me in on what I have missed. My two favorite are Soap Opera Weekly and Soap Opera Digest.

Both publications are weekly magazines. They have a lot of similarities, but also have some differences.

Soap Opera Digest is a half-size publication measuring approximately 5" by 7". It averages around 100 pages per publication. Each issue has current topics and articles of interest but also has certain sections that repeat every week. Information contained in the digest includes:

I just haven't had time to get into American soaps. I love B.B.C. America.

I used to watch soaps when I was young, but no more. Good article for those soapies who need to be kept up to date.

Great review Charlotte! I try to catch "All My Children" every once in awhile, but lately it just seems I am too busy.
