In her August 2025 book, Super Soap Scenes: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama\u2019s Greatest Moments<\/a>, Adams first surveyed soap opera fans about their favorite stories, episodes and scenes\u2014and then she went to the actors, writers, producers, directors and other staff members who were a part of their creation, to find out how those greatest moments came together!<\/p>\n In Super Soap Scenes: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama\u2019s Greatest Moments, you\u2019ll hear from:<\/p>\n The Young and the Restless<\/a>\u2019 Peter Bergman on Jack and Victor\u2019s most dramatic confrontation, and Jess Walton on Jill and Katherine\u2019s most vicious fight ever<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Days of our Lives<\/a>\u2019 James Reynolds on how Abe ended up stuck between two wives, and Wally Kurth on Justin and Adrienne\u2019s Greek wedding<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n All My Children\u2019s Eden Riegel on Bianca\u2019s coming out to her formidable mother, the one and only Erica Kane, as played by Susan Lucci<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n General Hospital<\/a>\u2019s Lydia Look on Selina Wu\u2019s battle with Sonny, played by Maurice Benard<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Edge of Night\u2019s Sharon Gabet on Raven\u2019s romance with both Skys<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n One Life to Live writer Michael Malone on the repercussions of Marty\u2019s rape<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Guiding Light writer Jill Lorie Hurst on the surprise pairing of Natalia and Olivia<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n As the World Turns writer Susan Dansby on Jack and Carly\u2019s most brutal breakup<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Plus reminiscences from the casts and crews of Another World, Santa Barbara, Dark Shadows, Search for Tomorrow, Port Charles, Ryan\u2019s Hope, Generations, and much, much more.<\/p>\n \u201cIs it possible to name daytime\u2019s greatest moment?\u201d Adams muses. \u201cProbably not. But it sure is a fun debate to have. I hope this book starts a wonderful conversation. Soaps, past and present, deserve to be remembered and celebrated for the near century of entertainment they\u2019ve provided to millions of viewers. When it comes to discussions of great drama, soaps are often overlooked when the truth is, there are stories and scenes which are capable of standing the test of time, and being compared to not just primetime and film, but great theatre dramas, too. I dare anyone to read this book and not want to immediately go looking for the scenes described, so they can see for themselves!\u201d<\/p>\n Super Soap Scenes: A Time Capsule of Daytime Drama\u2019s Greatest Moments is available at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\n For more information visit:\u00a0https:\/\/alinaadams.com\/soap-opera-books\/<\/a><\/p>\nBest Moments in Soap History<\/h2>\n
