Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. In what city would you expect most of the action to take place on the TV soap opera "Dallas"?

Answer: Dallas

The primetime soap opera that made cliffhangers famous. Their initial season did not have everyone talking about the Ewings but by the end of their 14 season run, people the all over the world had wondered, "Who shot J.R.?" At that time (1980) it was the highest rated television episode in US history.
2. What city is the primary setting for the soap "All My Children"?

Answer: Pine Valley

"All My Children" has been a very popular soap even from its beginning - at one time being the most widely-recorded television show in the USA. Almost just as noteworthy was the plight of actress, Susan Lucci to win an Emmy Award for her work on the show as Erica Kane - 18 years nominated without a win before finally winning in 1999.
3. "Days Of Our Lives" has been a favorite soap of many well known people. What is the name of the city where most of its residents live and interact?

Answer: Salem

"Days Of Our Lives" has aired more than 10,000 episodes in its more 45 years on the air. Through the years, this soap has received notoriety for its well known fans. For example, it is said throughout his career US Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, would call a court recess, if necessary, to avoid missing an episode of his favorite soap, "Days Of Our Lives".
4. The multi-award winning soap opera, "The Young and the Restless", is set in what city?

Answer: Genoa City

The spicy feud and often love/hate relationship of Katherine Chancellor and Jill Foster Abbott is clearly one of the longest rivalries on any American soap opera and countless "Y&R" story lines have developed around it. Those intriguing story lines, wonderful characters and consistent talent has made "Y&R" not only a multiple award winning show but a ratings favorite for many years.
5. The high-fashion wheels and deals and steals of the "The Bold and The Beautiful" happen where?

Answer: Los Angeles

Not a true spin-off, but a definite brain child and work of the same creators as "The Young and the Restless". Called its sister show since many of the characters have often "crossed over" or visited between the two shows (as the same character). Very successful in its own light, "B&B" remained high in the daytime ratings since its premiere in 1987.
6. "General Hospital" has one of the most interesting medical staffs on TV, if longevity is any indication. Where is TV's "General Hospital"?

Answer: Port Charles

It premiered on ABC television network on April 1, 1963. The show was originally set in a general hospital - hence the show's name - but through the years and diverse story lines it has grown to much more complex that just a show about a hospital. Arguably, the most memorable show from "General Hospital" was the wedding of Luke and Laura in November of 1981.

It was the most watched event in daytime serial (soap opera) history, a record it has held for more than two decades.
7. The Carringtons were an oil wealthy dynasty that often put the nasty in dynasty. Where did most of the action of "Dynasty" happen?

Answer: Denver

The Carringtons quickly let the world know that Denver could make as much money, trouble and family quarrels in the oil industry as Dallas could! There was no shortage of high fashion exhibited by the most beautiful people or near incestuous romantic storylines as the plots became steamer and steamer and the feuds became more and more hostile. True to producer Aaron Spelling style, right?
8. The fantasy of "One Life To Live" was middle class could mingle with the upper class and the upper class would accept it. Where does all this getting together take place?

Answer: Llanview

From its premiere "One Life To Live" broadcast storylines showing the wealthy of Llanview could mingle with the middle-class - ah, very well. And, mingle they have. And, "OLTL" has earned much attention for ground breaking storylines, including social issues such as interracial marriage and substance abuse.

Despite its soap opera premise, the show has earned accolades for its range of characters and their ability to interact with each other.
9. "Falcon Crest" brought prime time soap opera fans a lot of familiar faces, amazing scenery and brilliant writing. But where was their winery?

Answer: Tuscany Valley

"Falcon Crest" was set in Tuscany Valley, California. A fictitious town/area that was an obvious replica of the famous Napa Valley (in Northern California). "Falcon Crest" brought all the necessary elements for success to prime time - intriguing storylines, cliffhangers, fantasy, fashion and fame. And, it worked! How could they go wrong? Wine, Wyman and Lorenzo Lamas!
10. Gary and Val Ewing left Dallas, Texas not really their idea, initially. But it did give them the opportunity to have their own show, "Knots Landing". Where was that famous cul-de-sac?

Answer: Knots Landing

A spin-off of "Dallas"; "Knots Landing" was initially not as popular as its parent show but it eventually outlasted "Dallas". Not only did it earn much critical acclaim it became one of the longest-running primetime dramas on U.S. television.
