Description
Ever wondered what you missed out on before the golden age of streaming? Welcome to Soaplore, the podcast where we dive headfirst into the wonderfully over-the-top world of vintage soap operas from the 80s and 90s. I’m Jett, a TV-loving Millennial who’s finally escaping the monotony of modern shows and embracing the drama, the shoulder pads, and the catfights of yesteryear.
Join me as I experience the soapy sagas of "Dynasty," "Dallas," "Falcon Crest," and "Knots Landing" for the first time, episode by episode. With over 200 shows, we’ll laugh, we’ll cry, and we’ll probably question our life choices—just like the characters do, but with slightly less fabulous wardrobes.
Whether you’re a Xillenial who grew up with these iconic series, a Millennial like me who missed out the first time around, or a new fan discovering the glorious chaos of primetime soaps, "Soaplore" is your time machine to the melodramatic past. Tune in, relive the magic, and let’s marvel together at how people ever survived without binge-watching.
Pour yourself a glass of something strong, because, trust me, you’ll need it. This isn’t just nostalgia; this is Soaplore—where every episode is a rollercoaster of emotions, and nothing is ever as it seems.

Send us a text A vintage ad rabbit hole, a cup draw, and suddenly we’re waist-deep in one of Knot’s Landing’s most combustible season openers. We kick off with Connie Giannini’s Figurines spots—small, sugary time capsules that set the mood—then pivot into a neighborhood where every sunny driveway hides a secret and every choice exacts a price. Gary plays house in two zip codes until Abby draws a hard line: pick a door. Val chooses distance and a quiet room at Rusty’s ranch, which turns into a...
Send us a text A bomb tears through the night, Maggie wakes without a past, and Angela finds herself boxed in by court orders and cool smiles.

We walk you through each twist and why this premiere feels sharper, faster, and far more dangerous than anything the vineyard has poured in a while. Maggie’s amnesia reframes the heart of the show. She reads rooms even when names vanish, pushing Chase to confront who he’s been instead...
Send us a text Bright lights, sirens, and a glassy pool set the stage for a season opener that wastes no time: Kristen’s body is found at Southfork, and the blame ricochets between JR and Cliff before the sun is up.

We travel from Dallas to Abilene and onward to Southern Cross, where Sue Ellen plants her flag ...
Send us a text Four colossal soap worlds. Four very different ways to bring heat.

If you’ve ever wondered why some finales feel like true cliffhangers and others feel like revelations, this breakdown will change how you watc...

We walk you through the Knots Landing season 3 finale beat by beat, from Val’s tight smile at a party she didn’t want to host for a book she’s not sure she recognizes, to Gary choosing the one room where praise drowns out consequence, to Abby’s calm as a blade wrapped in sil...
Send us a text A velvet-voiced stranger silences La Mirage, a jeweled hand throws real mud, and a bride vanishes into a storm—this finale doesn’t blink. We open on Dominique commanding the room, then watch her stride into Blake’s office with details he doesn’t want to hear about the Villa Marini and Rashid Ahmed. The twist lands with a smile: she’s a Carrington, or close enough to rattle the family crest. That single revelation reframes the power map in Denver and sets the tone for what’s com...
