All My Children And One Life To Live Get the Ax

Some of the oldest and most famous Soap Operas getting cancelled!  To be honest with you the only Soap I've ever seen was the Soap on the Hygiene aisle.  So I guess you can say I haven't really "Lived"!  Can you give me a break though I'm just out of my teen years?  Do they sing Opera with Soap in their mouth?  What is your favorite one?
