I think the joy of any soap opera is it is always there. You are allowed into this world for a little while and it's safe in that you are watching other people go through some troubles rather than yourself. It's there every night, and there is something special about that sort of terrestrial television experience for a mass audience.

To be honest, I've never been a huge fan of American soap operas. I grew up Spanish, so I grew up watching a lot of novellas.

Soap opera seems to be a dirty word, but actually they are the most popular shows we have.

You have to think about the WWE as soap operas.

I started in this business on soap operas.

Soap operas are such a great way to break-in to the industry. The diminishing landscape of daytime TV means it's going to be harder for young talent to get discovered.

It's funny in the U.K., where I'm not really known because I never did a soap. My English cousins in the Lake District think I'm not a real actor because they've never seen me in 'Home and Away' or 'Neighbours.'

Daytime soap operas, which I used to adore, have been declining in quality and importance for over a decade, and I gradually stopped monitoring them.

I barely ever watch TV, but when I do, I usually only watch MTV shows, like 'The Real World Sydney.'

Reality TV has totally destroyed soap operas. They're gone. They used to be the biggest thing in the world - they're gone.
