[QUOTE="tommie, post: 221042, member: 370"] Eh, The Bold & The Beautiful, Santa Barbara and Sunset Beach were pretty much sold internationally on day one because they didn't have the baggage of an enormous run (weirdly enough I know a channel did buy the rights to Passions, but for some reason they just left it on the shelf until I assume their rights ran out and then no channel ended up optioning it, probably because of the time passed). If anything, The City might've been hindered by the fact that it had too many ties to a previous show (Loving) - while B&B was officially a spin-off from Y&R it never felt like you had to watch Y&R to get the story. The City on the other hand had 10 characters transfer from Loving... DAYS seems like the only real long-running soap that's been successfully sold overseas in the long run (they've tried with Y&R several times here, but it's never been able to garner and audience and has been pulled several times after shorter runs), but I suspect that has a lot to do with Corday being so pro-active in selling it.
