I’m 63 now. First started with Ryan’s Hope then All My Children. AMC was my favorite. I miss it.
Not embarrassed. It’s a fictional story so what? At least it is not stupid reality tv. I blame reality tv for a lot of our present hateful behavior. It gave people permission to be nasty to each other other.
