User Reviews

addictive

This show is very cheesy, I know. But if you let yourself get interested in the characters and the storyline, I guarantee you'll be hooked. That's what happened to me, and now I've been watching for 5 years (and I'm only 19!). The characters play into the world's fascination with the rich & famous, so you get the feeling of watching powerful people screw up and give in to human emotions. We all can relate with some of the things these characters go through. This is the only soap I watch; I have to admit that I sometimes laugh at the too-dramatic acting, but I'm telling you, give this soap a try and you'll find yourself watching every day just to see what happens next. A real nail-biter!
