I have been subscribing to Soap Opera Digest for about 3 months now. This was a subscription I chose free from enews.com as a way to earn points through the Mypoints program.

I have to confess that I am not a soap opera addict, I only watch...

Pros: sing along, mailbag
Cons: costly

I believe everyone has come across this magazine once in his or her lifetime. You either saw it in the supermarket checkout, or in any other department store checkout counter. It is the magazine that is the size and thickness of a TV Guide.

Pros: Yes.
Cons: No.

The soaps were playing on TV,
Playing all through the night.
They did their very best to wrap up
Carmen’s plot-lines nice and tight.
This was odd, ‘cause she’d been killed
Last month on Guiding Light.

Pros: Has all accurate info for soap fans
Cons: none

I am a true soap opera fan. When I was little, I used to watch “All My Children” with my Mom. In fact, that’s where I got my daughter, Tara’s, name. From the character of Tara Martin on AMC, always loved that name. I know soaps are sometimes...

Pros: Great soap info
Cons: Bizarre ads

If you're a soap fan, Soap Opera Digest is the magazine to subscribe to - or at least the one to spend your extra $2.99 at the grocery store every once in a while. Now published weekly, the editors seem to have come up with every imaginable...

Pros: Lets you keep up on your soaps when not able to watch
Cons: Expensive to purchase every week

I'm admitting it. I don't care what scorn comes my way. I am a soap opera addict. I am getting better. I've cut my viewing down to only one soap. In college, I scheduled my classes around Days of Our Lives. When I can't watch, the VCR is set...

Pros: Full of information. Great Photos.
Cons: Nothing

I really enjoy the Soap Opera Digest. It is full of some fantastic features. I bought this magazine cause I love all my CBS Soap Opera's and I wanted to keep up to date on them. Here is a few things you will find in the Soap Opera Digest.

Pros: Best updates, great articles, great pictures

Pros: Good UpDates
Cons: Too many shows listed!

i used to be a Soap Opera Junkie, but due to lack of time and patience with them, I only watch them every few months or so now. Soap Opera Digest is an up to date account on what is happening in Soap Opera world. I don't buy it all of the time, but when...

Pros: Informative and fun
Cons: The 10 Best/Worst/Most article is a bore. I usually skip it altogether

I receive Soap Opera Digest every week. I wait with bated breath every Thursday for it to come. If it doesn't show up by Friday or Saturday, or sometimes Monday, I go nuts!

The first part I read is the urgent news and "Comings and...

Pros: good size, articles, color, pictures
Cons: bit pricey for a weekly

This is a great magazine for an avid fan of soap operas. I have been reading it on and off since 1988! The reason being I've been watching soaps on and off since then. I went on hiatus for a bit and went back to watching my favorite Days of Our Lives in...

Pros: good scoops, nice interviews/articles, not afraid to point out problems with soaps
Cons: delivery not always reliable, plot summaries could be more detailed

That's what my husband calls it. He makes fun of me for watching soaps, but funny how he's starting to catch on to the stories. I've bought this on and off for the last twenty years. Yes, it's been around that long! The premise is still the same ...

Pros: Keeps you up-to-date on your favorite shows
Cons: Gives away some surprises about your favorite shows

I had a subscription to this magazine for a year, and when it ended, I felt completely lost! Needless to say, I had to hurry and renew my subscription. This is great for finding articles on your favorite soap stars, learning what's about to happen on the...

Pros: Good photos, excellent interviews, and interesting special feature sections
Cons: None
