Interestingly, based on the dates I’ve come across, episodes were premiering in the UK before they aired in the US. Episode one was shown on BBC1 at 9.10pm on Friday 26th September whereas the first episode wasn’t shown in the US until the following Monday 29th.The Yellow Rose: aired in the UK at least twice (although it was regional). Granada ran it in a daytime slot in 1986. It appears to have been weekly on Fridays at 2pm. LWT also ran it weekly in 1989, at 3am on Saturday mornings.Paper Dolls: aired on Thames in the summer of 1987. It was shown at 10am on weekday mornings in a rather random pattern where some episodes were only 30 minutes long, while others ran to 90 minutes.Swan’s Crossing: ran on The Children’s Channel in 1994 and on Trouble from 1996-1998.Dark Shadows: didn’t show up on schedules until long after it ended when it aired on the Sci-Fi Channel in the 90’s. Similarly, DS knockoff Strange Paradise popped up on Bravo in the early 90’s.While ATWT ran for the entirety of Sky Soap’s five and a half year existence (in addition to a short run on Sky Channel/Sky One prior to that), only the first year of Loving was ever shown in Ireland and the UK (first on Sky One before being repeated on Sky Soap). I may be wrong but I think ATWT may be the US daytime soap with the second longest continuous airing on Irish or UK TV (1993-1999). I think Another World may have had the longest (1989-1998) when it ran between Sky One and Sky Soap. All of the rest aired in sporadic fashion, ranging from Loving’s one year run mentioned above, to the likes of Days, Y&R and B&B that dropped on and off the schedules of different channels over a number of years.</blockquote>
