[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 221073, member: 673"] In Ireland & the UK, I think [I]Sunset Beach[/I] and [I]Santa Barbara[/I] were the only two US daytime soaps to start airing from the beginning ([I]Ryan's Hope[/I] might have on Irish TV too but I don't know & I'm not sure where Sky picked up B&B).
