Why Soap Operas Were So Insane In the 80s and 90s (More Crazy Storylines Included)

Soap operas in the '80s and '90s were absolutely insane, and I gave some examples of all that craziness in a recent video. From cloning to underground cities and even demonic possession, the soap world went all out. But as many of you pointed out in the comments, there was so much more madness that I didn’t cover, which means... follow-up time! Hey, I’m Natalie, and welcome to my channel, My So-Called Gen X Life. Today, in honor of our beloved moms, aunts, grandmas, and babysitters in the 80s who couldn't get enough of these stories… we’re diving into even more insane soap opera storylines from the golden age of soaps. We’ll also take a look back at some soap backstory from that era, and I’ll tell you where you can stream some of these legendary shows if you're up for a rewatch.
