[QUOTE="Carrie Fairchild, post: 154583, member: 673"] [I]Santa Barbara[/I] definitely benefitted from premiering when the nighttime soaps were at the height of their powers around the world. A daytime Dallas, at half the price, that you could air right from the beginning and keep supersoap fans entertained until the big guns came on in the evening. For example, US daytime soaps were never features of the Irish or UK TV schedules prior to the 80's ([I]Ryan's Hope[/I] being the exception when it had a brief run on Irish TV, presumably because of the show's Irish connections). Yet, SB got a full run on Ireland's main channel RTE1 and ran for around three years on ITV in the UK before transferring to the number one satellite channel Sky One (I'm unsure if UK viewers actually got to see the show in it's entirety). The only US daytime soap to have a full run on Irish or UK terrestrial TV since, has been [I]Sunset Beach[/I]. [/QUOTE]
