ABC and PEOPLE’s ‘The Story of Soaps’: What Was Your Review Of It?
Tuesday’s night airing of ABC and PEOPLE’s two-hour special The Story of Soaps featured many notable daytime and primetime soap stars, past and present, clips from backstage to classic memorable moments, and some participants who were providing commentary on the erosion of the daytime soaps in our culture. Still others, maintained and realized that everything today is serialized from the news we watch, to some of Netflix’s most binge-watchable series, and of course, the birth of reality-programming.
Throughout the airing of the special, The Story of Soaps was trending on Twitter and social media either at the #2, #3 or #4 spots for the entire duration of the broadcast presentation, and the cancelled and beloved All My Children was also at one point trending.
However, known soap writers, journalists, ardent fans, and actors of the genre, were all on Twitter last night live-tweeting their thoughts as the special went down, and there was definitely mixed reactions and reviews, when all was said and done.
What the special did not shy away from, but tackled, was Luke’s rape of Laura at the campus disco on General Hospital. and how that moment now, as Genie Francis (Laura), so eloquently put, would be considered as ‘date rape’ in our culture. The series even included a pivotal moment where Laura addresses Luke (Tony Geary) about the rape years later, after helping Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst) through her rape ordeal.
John Stamos (Ex-Blackie Parrish, GH) got a bevy of “Right On’s!” for his comment that the soaps do not get the credit that they deserve and clearly came through as one of the soaps greatest supporters, as did former The Doctors and Knots Landing star, Alec Baldwin.
However, throughout the two-hours, Andy Cohen’s commentary was thread throughout; mostly citing soap’s demise and the creation of reality-programming and his “Real Housewives” franchise, that the special touted as the new soap operas. It continued on the narrative that people preferred to see real-life drama then made-up drama on a fictional soap. And while, that has been a trend in American culture for decades, the commentary came off as often out of place in a celebration of the soaps; and bringing in a lot of negativity to the special that soap fans were tired of hearing.
In a lighting rod moment, Cohen stated: “I know Susan Lucci doesn’t agree with me, but I think that the Housewives have replaced soap operas because truth is stranger than fiction. Soaps became kind of unnecessary because you could do it with real people, and they’re writing the drama themselves.”
The special did also address the cancellations of All My Children and One Life to Live, (which many were not sure they were going to do – given this special was airing on ABC), where One Life’s leading lady and six-time Daytime Emmy winner, Erika Slezak (Ex-Viki) said what we all wanted to sa ywhen the ax fell on the towns of Llanview and Pine Valley, “People were horrified”.
Clearly, OJ Simpson and his murder trial and reality-programming were also given a chunk of time to show where the once mighty landscape of daytime soaps which once had 13 shows on the air, dwindled town to 4. But, it would have been nice to see more time spent on how in this day and age, the people in this current landscape of the genre work so hard to get episodes done at an unbelievable pace, and how in that climate the performers still deliver gut-wrenching performances.

Former Loving, OLTL and Breaking Bad star, Bryan Cranston, did point out how the once powerful soaps, just don’t have the dollars they used to, and need to, to help with production costs and their taping schedule.
Viewers were reminded of soaps’ socially relevant storylines including hankie-inducing moments from: Robin (Kimberly McCullough) and Stone’s (Michael Sutton) HIV/AIDS storyline on General Hospital, to Billy Douglas being a gay teen coming out on One Life to Live, played by a young Ryan Phillippe.
There also did not seem time spent on the contributions of William J. Bell; one of the most prominent writers of the soap genre of all-time.
For many commenting on social media last night, there seemed to be a feeling of some glaring omissions of participants who could speak on this genre, who have been in the trenches as soap producers, soap writers, pundits, actors, and more, who were not included in the special.
So, what was your review of The Story of Soaps? How would you grade it? Do you feel it accurately reflected the history of the genre? Were you happily surprised, or when it came to the end where you over it, or somewhere in between? Sound off in the comment section below. Below are some tweets from notables who have worked as an actor, a writer, and a journalist in the soaps.
What started as a love letter kinda dissolved into a lover kicking you out of bed.
Ummm ok well I guess I appreciate the effort. But that definitely took a turn.🤷🏻♀️😬🤪 #TheStoryofSoaps— Chrishell (@Chrishell7) May 20, 2020
OMG so I’m still watching/catching up on #TheStoryofSoaps. Why does it suddenly feel like a death knell for the genre?! Why can’t it be a celebration? We’re hanging tough with no new episodes IN THE MIDDLE OF A FREAKING PANDEMIC! Why not celebrate our resilience? I’m done!
— Michele Val Jean (@MicheleValJean) May 20, 2020
Here’s the thing: The reason we’re down to 4 soaps is because network execs messed with time slots, cut budgets and interfered with storytelling. ABC can’t admit that so they have to get @Andy to trash them. But #TheStoryofSoaps was still a fun watch. Long live #AMC, #OLTL & #GH! https://t.co/pqR0Gx3cnf

A good body or a pretty face means nothing to me if there is not intelligence, humor, talent, personality, terrific faults, and depth behind the eyes of the individual. It’s a pity that , at least Gregory ( I am not familiar with the other two) seems to me to be little more than a blow-up doll. Trevor St. John, on the other hand, seems to encompass all of these things and they are visible behind his eyes. That, to me, is someone who is attractive. But then, I never claim to be part of the mainstream.
You say that David is nothing more than a blow-up doll…that he has no intelligence, personality or depth behind his eyes. I’ve known David for many years and he is one of the smartest, sweetest guys you could ever meet. You shouldn’t judge someone that you don’t know in real life….when in actuality, you only get to watch him on TV and get to see him “portray” someone that he is not…..I say, David should WIN!!!
I agree with J! I find the comment of David Gregory being a ‘blow-up-doll’ ,insulting, and in poor taste. To make such false assumptions because of someone’s looks, is not only being careless, but the statement is compeletely baseless! David is a trained actor, who has a degree in music theatre. This is not someone who was just hired because of his good looks, on the contrary, he is also a talented actor and singer. I second the motion, David should win!!
You are certainly welcome to agree with J and to have your own opinion.
I believe my point was missed, but okay. As I said, best of luck to him and to you.
I was just musing that the phrase “Blow-up doll” is being imbued with meaning I haven’t given it. I meant “blow-up doll” not in the sexualized manner (I’m guessing it was mistaken due to the nature of these awards, but I’m just guessing) but in the way of placeholder, random young, sexy everyman, pane-of-glass way. This is more of a commentary on what the writers have created as a character than it is on the individual. In fact, I am neutral on David Gregory, and I will explain. The Ford are pretty much a plot device family created to develop story for the main families in Llanview. I have not seen any depth in any of them. Inez was played by Jessica Leccia, and she has been good in what I have seen her. Nate exists to create conflict between Todd and Dani, to make Dani act moronically, and to be disturbing because the actor is way too old for Kelley. James exists as an accessory to Starr, being hot (and jealous when necessary). Ford is nothing but a stereotype who is manipulated based upon what is needed. The role was designed for <>. I am neutral on David Gregory because he has not shown me anything else but what was written on the page. In another role he may be brilliant but I have yet to see it. In my opinion, the character is meaningless and boring. However, the actor has an opportunity to make me see something else, and I haven’t yet.
For example, Téa is often used as a plot device or is a background character. (try watching “Perfect Stranger” for a prime example, and especially the courtroom scenes at the end in which she has no lines and is not a focus. She is the only reason that horrible movie is worth watching, honestly) However, no matter what crap she is given, the eye is drawn to her like no actor I have ever seen. She makes even filler worth watching.
My point is, while David Gregory may do very well in a role that is written to have depth and meaning, I have not seen anything outside of what has been written as of yet. Therefore, I have not seen anything else from him. I am not making personal commentary on whether he is a nice person or whether he is a good friend because I have not seen anything outside the script.
Please feel free to comment on my statement, me personally, or not, as you wish.
Oops, the Fords should be plural and my bracket content disappeared: Young, sexy man with a good body.
The role of Ford is much more than a supportive 2-dimensional character. I would put him in the same class as that of Rex. He is a complex character that has much more depth than some of the other on the show. His transformation over the last 2 years is incredible, and Ron Carlivati has done a phenomenal job developing this character. With the hint of foreshadowing, Ford’s journery has led him to Jessica. It is not an accident that these 2 characters have been placed together. David Gregory has made Ford his own, and this is a credit to him as an actor.
Alexa,
With what you are saying….that David “hasn’t shown you anything else besides what he is given on the page” is because you don’t know him and/or seen him do anything else besides Ford, so how can he show you himself when he is playing someone else? Another good point that Di pointed out…the character of Ford was only created about 2 years ago…so in the entertainment business side of it…they could have gotten rid of his character easily and no one would had been upset by this, if he wasn’t a good actor. BUT, due to the fact that David took the role and made something out of it…they based other story lines and characters around his….he must be doing something right as an actor…wouldn’t you say?
Everyone is entitled to their own opinions and I respect that. I merely just think that you (alexa) were attacking David Gregory as a person and actor…instead of the character “Ford” (which I feel he does a great job at).
Thanks

Alexa,
You say that David is nothing more than a blow-up doll…that he has no intelligence, personality or depth behind his eyes. I’ve known David for many years and he is one of the smartest, sweetest guys you could ever meet. You shouldn’t judge someone that you don’t know in real life….when in actuality, you only get to watch him on TV and get to see him “portray” someone that he is not…..I say, David should WIN!!!
I believe I characterized my response with “seems.” I am sure he is a lovely person; I am merely pointing out what he has made visible to me, nothing else. I wish him well, as I wish you well despite the fact that you just judged me.
David Gregory is much more than a pretty face, a great smile and a gorgeous body. He can play charming bad boy and sweet dad/brother/friend on OLTL. He is one of the main reasons I tune in. He’s also very fan-friendly, down to earth and a wonderful ambassador for the show. Best of the bunch. Deserves the Adonis this year – hands down.

James Scott, James Scott, James Scott, James Scott, James Scott, James Scott, etc.
He has the looks, the talent, and that swoon-worthy accent!!! I’m melting just thinking about it.
i totally agree with leslie how can you not look away from james scott and his body face and accent too he’s a real pretty boy
Totally Daniel Goddard, if us GFF’s have anything to do with it.
I know he’s not in the running but Michael E. Knight will always be the hunkiest daytime actor to me!
It’s Daniel Goddard’s year to win. He deserves it. He not only is easy on the eyes, he has an amazing love and compassion for his family and fans that emanates through his interaction with his fan page. Nothing makes a man sexier than intelligence and genuine concern for other people. Thanks DG for loving all of us so much. This year is for you if the GFFs have anything to say about it!
James Scott for the win!
Daniel Goddard is the ultimate Adonis! He is absolutely gorgeous, has a rock-hard body and a very sexy accent, not to mention that he is the sweetest guy to his fans. This is his year to WIN if the GFFs have anything to do with it!
James Scott gets my vote, though I think all three finalists are deserving of the title. 🙂
I have voted every single day for Daniel Goddard and I will vote for him until he wins this contest. Daniel Goddard is a down-to-Earth, sweet, and fun guy. Not only handsome, he is a great actor, both in tragic and funny departments. He is a great Dad and Husband to his family and he loves his fans who love him back very much. We will make Daniel win the Adonis.
Hope this is Daiel’s year. What a find the Adonis site has been hehe…
Daniel Goddard definitely! Daniel is the epitome of sexy! He’s kind hearted, generous, smart, sexy, funny, loyal, and a wonderful father and terrific husband. To me, he’s at his sexiest when he interacts with his fans and shares stories and pictures with us about his children.
David A Gregory for sure! He has such a freaking smoking hot body, and he’s not shirtless enough on OLTL!
Always James Scott I love this man sexy, hot, handsome bad boy so my vote is James Scott!!!!!!!!
i was hoping that nic robuck would be a finalist, but i also like david gregory
Bryan Dattilo/Lucas Horton ex Days,but his name is not here,to bad
James Scott will always be the #1 Adonis to me!
James Scott is always my pick and favorite for any “face” contest. The title of Adonis fits him to a tee.
James Scott is by far so deserving of the Adonis award…He has a terrific body, he is GORGEOUS, and he is a very talented actor. The other two are good looking also, but James outshines them all in every way…the WHOLE PACKAGE!!!!!! <3
David of course! I’ve been able to “talk” with him via his facebook and he is just such an easy going guy not letting any of this go to his head at all! He knows he’s got a great body but he does not rely on that!
Go David Go!
James Scott IS and always will be Adonis.
James Scott has my vote. He is sexy, a great actor and intelligent.
james scott is totally overall hottie in this contest he has it all in this bag
I’m a huge fan of James Scott, not just his looks, but the man.
He’s private person but invests a lot of his personal time with charities.
His accent doesn’t hurt, either.
James Scott gets my vote. James = Adonis.
all the guys are good looking but I prefer James Scott, his looks are amazing as well as his charm, intelligence, wit, kindness, respect for other actors and his fans. on top of all this he is so talented, every move he makes is awesome, he can change emotion with his eyes or body language. When he smiles its like a million lights go on and brighten up the room so for me he is Adonis.
Oh, James Scott has it all going on! The other two are nice looking men, but James Scott is Adonis.
If you go to the Adonis website you can click on each hunk. I’ve clicked on and saw that James was never a bottom 3 or 2. The other two guys are. I am sure James shall win his 5th “Adonis”.
