A very very long-running US Daytime Soap Opera; running since 1965, it rivals Coronation Street for popularity and longevity. Originally, it focused on the Hortons, a family who tended to become doctors. As time went on, more focus was given to the rivalry between the Italian DiMeras and the Irish Bradys, while still keeping the Hortons at the forefront. Despite being generally grounded in reality, the show has featured stories involving aliens, ghosts, and mad scientists. These are generally considered to be the worst seasons. A popular show among daytime drama queens.
