What Was The Best Prime Time Soap Opera?

Dynasty? Dallas? Falcon's Crest?

Do any current shows qualify as a primetime soap?

Dynasty hands down! Such a great time. Everyone either had or went to Dynasty parties every week.

Knots Landing, because it ranked high on the Abby Scale.

Abby Dalton being revealed as the killer in the season 2 finale of Falcon Crest, then holding her mother hostage while dressed as a nun at the end of season 3 is a highlight of primetime soaps even though other shows were consistently better. Falcon Crest was filled with some great moments, always having some sort of surprise twist, and Maggie's ring in the pool was the most ironic one, literally and figuratively.

Toss up. It's either Dallas (who shot JR?) or Dynasty (Crystal and Alexis fighting in the pool/fountain whatever).

Probably Dallas, it was a bigger deal.
