Real soaps were on five days a week and were campy as fuck

You're going to be shocked to learn they're still on. Our channel 11 and 21 show the same thing in the mornings, but if she leaves the TV on when she goes to work and it's on the wrong one, about 10 or 11am it switches to the same soaps that my mom used to watch when I was a kid.

I asked my wife and there's still a victor, still a Penelope and like 4 Alecias, and they're still played by the same actors! Talk about a career of they're still on the same gig after 40 years. And one guy must be 90 now.

The stories seem less TeleNovela and more Real Housewives, though, as now I discover it's on the wrong channel when, instead of prim and proper news anchors, there's the sounds of screeching and cat fights in the living room and it disturbs a Teams call in my office.

I think the Brit one with the guy from Red Dwarf is still on, too.
