On an art college trip, I turned on the hotel TV - and there it was. Amanda and Sam’s wedding on Another World. Larger-than-life characters, wanna-live settings, all playing out with the raw intimacy of a stage play. I was hooked.
Maybe you raced home from school to catch Guiding Light - or stayed home when you definitely shouldn’t to watch Sunset Beach.
