The primetime soap opera that made cliffhangers famous.

At that time (1980) it was the highest rated television episode in US history.

2. What city is the primary setting for the soap "All My Children"?

Answer: Pine Valley

"All My Children" has been a very popular soap even from its beginning - at one time being the most widely-recorded television show in the USA. Almost just as noteworthy was the plight of actress, Susan Lucci to win an Emmy Award for her work on the show as Erica Kane - 18 years nominated without a win before finally winning in 1999.

4. The multi-award winning soap opera, "The Young and the Restless", is set in what city?

Those intriguing story lines, wonderful characters and consistent talent has made "Y&R" not only a multiple award winning show but a ratings favorite for many years.

5. The high-fashion wheels and deals and steals of the "The Bold and The Beautiful" happen where?

Answer: Los Angeles

Not a true spin-off, but a definite brain child and work of the same creators as "The Young and the Restless". Called its sister show since many of the characters have often "crossed over" or visited between the two shows (as the same character). Very successful in its own light, "B&B" remained high in the daytime ratings since its premiere in 1987.

6. "General Hospital" has one of the most interesting medical staffs on TV, if longevity is any indication. Where is TV's "General Hospital"?

Answer: Port Charles

It premiered on ABC television network on April 1, 1963. The show was originally set in a general hospital - hence the show's name - but through the years and diverse story lines it has grown to much more complex that just a show about a hospital. Arguably, the most memorable show from "General Hospital" was the wedding of Luke and Laura in November of 1981.

It was the most watched event in daytime serial (soap opera) history, a record it has held for more than two decades.

7. The Carringtons were an oil wealthy dynasty that often put the nasty in dynasty. Where did most of the action of "Dynasty" happen?

Answer: Denver

The Carringtons quickly let the world know that Denver could make as much money, trouble and family quarrels in the oil industry as Dallas could! There was no shortage of high fashion exhibited by the most beautiful people or near incestuous romantic storylines as the plots became steamer and steamer and the feuds became more and more hostile. True to producer Aaron Spelling style, right?

Despite its soap opera premise, the show has earned accolades for its range of characters and their ability to interact with each other.

9. "Falcon Crest" brought prime time soap opera fans a lot of familiar faces, amazing scenery and brilliant writing. But where was their winery?

Answer: Tuscany Valley

"Falcon Crest" was set in Tuscany Valley, California. A fictitious town/area that was an obvious replica of the famous Napa Valley (in Northern California). "Falcon Crest" brought all the necessary elements for success to prime time - intriguing storylines, cliffhangers, fantasy, fashion and fame. And, it worked! How could they go wrong? Wine, Wyman and Lorenzo Lamas!

10. Gary and Val Ewing left Dallas, Texas not really their idea, initially. But it did give them the opportunity to have their own show, "Knots Landing". Where was that famous cul-de-sac?

A spin-off of "Dallas"; "Knots Landing" was initially not as popular as its parent show but it eventually outlasted "Dallas". Not only did it earn much critical acclaim it became one of the longest-running primetime dramas on U.S. television.
