To co o Port Charles pisze wikipedia
:
Port Charles was a daytime drama which aired on ABC from July 11, 1997 to October 3, 2003. It was a spin-off of the popular serial General Hospital, which has been running since 1963 and takes place in the fictional New York city of Port Charles. The new show featured longtime General Hospital characters Lucy Coe, Kevin Collins, Scott Baldwin and Karen Wexler, along with several new characters, most of whom were interns in a competitive medical school program. In the first episode, tenured nurse Audrey Hardy (General Hospital's longest-running character, portrayed by Rachel Ames) was injured and an intern had to operate on her with a power drill to save her life.
In the first few years, Port Charles got a reputation for focusing most of its energies on the medical school program, setting more of its main action at Port Charles's General Hospital than was seen on the parent show, General Hospital.
As it evolved, it turned its focus to stories with gothic intrigue that included themes such as forbidden love, vampires, and life after death. 
It also abandoned the basic open-ended writing style used on all other daytime dramas in December 2000, instead creating thirteen-week story arcs (which were also referred to as "books"). This type of storytelling is a staple of Spanish telenovelas. It also allowed the cast, crew, and writing staff to only work six months out of the year.
Port Charles never attracted strong ratings. It plummeted to last place in the ratings in the months prior to its cancellation in the summer of 2003. Since it taped for only six months out of the year, the remaining episodes were aired with the cast not allowed to return to tape resolutions to storylines. This left the final episode as a cliffhanger; heroine Alison (Erin Hershey Presley) didn't know who the father of her baby was and Jamal found out why the beautiful Imani was so mysterious... because she was really a werewolf.
After Port Charles, the characters of Scott Baldwin and Audrey Hardy returned to General Hospital, and many of the other actors from Port Charles moved on to play roles on other dramas, including a few who took on new roles in General Hospital, such as actors Kelly Monaco, Kiko Ellsworth, Eddie Matos, Kent King and Jay Pickett.

Co do Beverly, Dynastii, Dallas i Melrose, to byłaby to kwestia sporna, bo to nie były prawdziwe opery mydlane, a takie z pewnym końcem (opery mydlane primetime), no ale może Tomala chciał, żeby te z primetime'a też mu wymienic.
Pamiętasz może jakieś wątki w PC? Zresztą poszperam coś o tym w necie.
Najbardziej zdziwiło mnie że w Polsce leciało All My Children. Można wiedzieć w jakich latach i na jakim kanale?
