[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 443767, member: 673"] I think you may be right. Mexico has a lot of telenovelas but in terms of ongoing soaps that run over a number of years, it looks like Germany has the largest roster. I was aware of telenovelas in other countries but didn’t know that they were a thing in Germany. They never really took off in English speaking markets, despite attempts with [I]Port Charles[/I] and the MyNetworkTV novelas in the 00’s. I’ve never seen this in a “straight drama” soap. It sounds like something that would’ve been done in parodies like [I]Soap[/I] or [I]Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman[/I]. On Channel 5 in the UK, the continuity presenters used to give satirical synopses of [I]Sunset Beach[/I], over the closing credits. I think they also did they same when they reran [I]Sons and Daughters[/I] in the middle of the night. [/QUOTE]
