Many have been inquiring for the past few months if the only reality show that truly has “soap” people and not just the reality kind, Dirty Soap might be returning for a second season on E! Entertainment Television.
The show which featured the behind-the-scenes lives and loves of Nadia Bjorlin, Brandon Beemer, Farah Fath, John-Paul Lavoisier, Galen and Jenna Gering, Kelly Monaco and Kirsten Storms aired for eight episodes this past season.
According to former OLTL star and Dirty Soap participant, Farah Fath, the cast and everyone else should be finding out the news soon when the actress was questioned on Twitter. Farah responded by tweeting, “We find out in 3 weeks if it’s picked up again.”
So what do you say soapers? Would you welcome a second two with some of the darlings of daytime? Let us know!

Days Of Our LivesApril 19, 2024Stephen Schnetzer Talks On His Return to Days of our Lives and Working with Susan Seaforth Hayes In Emotional Episodes
I’d like to see them follow a different set of soap stars every season. Nothing against the cast this year, but I’d like to see more of the stars that are on the air now, as they relate to the stories that are unfolding on the show. The little bit of backstage stuff we got to see was much more interesting to me than what their daily lives were like.
That would be a great idea because this cast stunk! To survive, the show has to be totally redone. They think soaps fans will watch anything they throw at us!
Who cares…………
Makes no diff to me.
I love this show!!!
I would watch ift if Nadia is stil part of the cast.She’s the reason I’m watching it.
Absolutely. Enjoyed Dirty Soap. Would love to see how things are going especially for Farah/JP (are they engaged yet?), and Nadia/Brandon (will Nadia’s mother ever accept Brandon?)
yes , loved that show, it was so nice ,as if they were in our livingroom ,and behind the scenes was great,love keeping up with my fav, actors.actress’s…..
Would love to see more/other soap characters
I think it would be awesome. I loved it.
I enjoyed the show and those involved, and would love to see it continued with the same cast, and see how their lives are unfolding now. I am an ABC Soaps Fan, so of course I enjoyed those from ABC, but I also liked learning about the others that I knew nothing about prior to Dirty Soap. On a second note, a few of them do not have jobs at the moment (or were just recently taken off contract), so it is nice to see them get a pay check, while entertaining us!!!!!
Would love it! Love to watch Kelly Monaco but if I had to get rid of someone it would certainly be whinny, drama queen Farah Fath! Bring me some Frary too! She’s great. Reminds me of my mother in law! haha.
Anyone know some site I can check out all the episodes I only got to watch about the first 3? free of course : / yeah and keep kristen storms and Kelly Monaco 🙂 hope they do get a second season.
I’d like to see more….I loathed Nadia’s mother, what a horrible human being….so I hope there’s less of her if it’s picked up, but all in all, I did enjoy it…I worry about Kirsten so I hope there’s more of her – and I do hope they mingle and change with new characters, while keeping us updated with the old.
LD
I love this, but would love to see other CBS actors as well. Remove Storms and put on someone newer and better. I hope we get a second season because the first was beyond amazing.
remove storms, ummmm she has a serious illness and hasnt worked since september a little respect would be nice. obviously we didnt get to see her as it was cut short do to the illness. sorry but thats very insensitive. I would like to see different actors so we get to see more actors and what they are really like but this is also edited so its to get ratngs even if it doesnt make them look that great but it seems to be what people like.
I’m not commenting based on her illness, I’m not a heartless person. I’m simply judging based on her time during the series, and it was far too much whining about petty bull. So don’t go telling me to have respect when you’re taking what I said out of context. Okay? Thanks!
I believe most of the whinning was done by Farah not kirsten. what show were you watching Scott? and you sound kind of whiney yourself scott.
The whining was done on both of their parts, and to judge me is completely wrong of you. You don’t hold the right to judge me. I simply would prefer Kirsten to be replaced on the series. Has NOTHING to do with her illness nor acting abilities. And Aria, you sound kind of nosey yourself.
If it was called Dirty Soap Season 2: The Divas. Starring Erika Slezak, Robin Strasser, Ilene Kristen, Diedre Hall, Susan Lucci, Susan Flannery, Genie Francis, Elizabeth Hubbard, and Linda Dano.
I’d watch this one… but no, did not watch the first one because I was not too interested in the casts lives… but your list.. VERY MUCH!
I would watch that ,it could be fun,I will root for erika slezak and Ilene kristen and robin strasser to live under one roof ,why,because they are my favorites.the ladies of landview.
I loved the first season of DS!!! I’m def hoping for more! Huge Galen fan…and now a Jenna fan too! Fingers crossed for season 2!
Love the show please bring it back but change the actors every season and update us on past actors and any new updates that are important.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a renewal.Everyone was great and I’m looking to see what their lives have changed since it last aired.
Love the show! Need it since they keep canceling our soaps! Maybe next season can show what OLTL cast is doing now. Please renew!!!
Someone is always talking about Farah, dang her and JP WERE FUNNYas heck. Show would be a Snoozer without them, their drama was more like real people drama, not Hollywood bull (fake). This is a reality show and she keeps it real!
Agree! I thought Kelly Monaco was the worst, she’s always crying or getting ready to cry (just like on GH) That awful boyfriend of hers of what, 18 years? Weird. Get rid of her & keep everyone else.
YES, WOULD LOVE TO SEE IT RETURN. LOVE FARAH , JP AND KELLEY SINCE I AM/WAS AN ABC FAN. TRYING HARD TO FIGURE OUT DAYS STORYLINE AND GET INTO IT SINCE OLTL’S DEPARTURE:(
I was Very Disappointed when they got rid on All My Children and One Life To Live to put those dumb shows on to replace which I will NEVER watch. Please keep Dirty Soap on.
I hope the show is renewed, I thoroughly enjoyed it. I would love to see (most of) the same cast return with maybe a few new faces this time. I thought it was such a revelation to discover what a snoot Farah could be in real life…LOL Don’t get me wrong, I LOVED her, but she is NOTHING like I expected. When she was with her friends, all they did was make snide comments about everyone & anyone, including strangers…LOL The rest of the cast seemed to be a little more down-to-earth. I have to wonder, though, if Nadia’s mother is truly that nasty. I find it hard to believe anyone would allow their mother (or father) to treat the person they love that way. I give Brandon a lot of credit for putting up with that woman’s disrespectful tirades.
Loved the show. Seens like when something good is on TV it gets cancelled! I’m so sick of that! And E!..don’t you think we’ve seen enough of the Kim K. Drama?? So bring back Dirty Soap and quit screwing around with something good!
LOVED Dirty Soap!!! Its nice to have a mix up of shows every season. Don’t get me wrong I love the Kardashian’s but geesh give other people some TV time 🙂 BRING DIRTY SOAP BACK ON!!!
Really loved the show
Really love the show
Dirty Soap is great!!! Please bring it back for another season. I looked more forward to watching it then some of the other shows I have watched for years.
I love this show! I watched these people for a long time on days, and I love them! Plz have second season!!!!
i have been waiting for season 2 loved season 1 and love my soaps. keeping my fingers crossed
MOST DEFINITELY…I LOVED THIS SHOW..SINCE THEY CANCELLED SO MANY SOAP OPERA’S…WHY NOT! THEY (REAL ACTORS AND ACTRESSES) NEED WORK TOO..AND FOR THE RECORD ALTHOUGH REALITY SHOWS ARE SOMEWHAT TAKING OVER..SOAP OPERA’S IS WHERE THE DRAMA STARTED…SO WHAT IT SCRIPTED AND SOMEWHAT PREDICTABLE, IT WAS GOOD. I STILL WATCH AND LOVE IT.
TO SUM IT UP…..BRING DIRTY SOAPS BACK….ITS BETTER
I HAVE BEEN HOPING TO SEE SEASON 2. I AM A HUGE SOAP FAN AND THINK DIRTY SOAP WAS A HIT IN MY BOOK .
I’d like to see Dirty Soap come back for a second season! It was a great soap to watch after the soap of One Life To Life has been cancelled. I also heard that Farah Fath was pregnant is it true?
Looking forward to a 2nd season of DIRTY SOAP Have been missing it.
