Yeah, the US soaps are dwindling and have been since the start of the new millennium. Guiding Light, which started on TV in 1952, was axed in 2009. As The World Turns which started in 1956 ended in 2010. All My Children and One Life To Live both bit the dust in 2011 after 40+ year runs. In 2022 Days of Our Lives was relegated from NBC to their streamer Peacock, meaning the NBC broadcast network no longer has a soap opera. The only other survivors are General Hospital on ABC, and The Young and the Restless and The Bold and the Beautiful, both on CBS.
