What did soap opera magazines reveal about your favorite stars and shows decades ago? We're about to find out.
Produced by We Love Soaps, Soap Opera Time Capsule is a new video series that opens the vault on daytime television history. Each episode revisits a different era through vintage soap opera magazines, fan publications, promotional materials, and other memorabilia from the genre's rich past.
From behind-the-scenes stories and celebrity interviews to classic advertisements, reader polls, and forgotten headlines, we'll explore how soap operas were covered by the press at the height of their popularity—and what those snapshots from the past can tell us today.
The first episode takes a look inside the March 1981 issue of Daytime TV magazine, when General Hospital and Luke and Laura mania dominated daytime television.
Watch the teaser below, and join us when Soap Opera Time Capsule premieres Monday, June 15, on the We Love Soaps YouTube channel (@WeLoveSoaps)..
