Watch Your Fave Soaps Anytime on HULU & a GIVEAWAY!

It’s that time again! The soaps are back and ready to infiltrate your home by any means necessary! Why am I weirdly excited for soaps? I’m a closet soap addict from WAY back. I started watching soaps in the womb (it’s totally possible, ask anyone).

I remember always watching the soaps with my Grandmother especially. She had a real thing for her “stories”. Even still today, when I watch the episodes it’s a comfort seeing some of the same people that were on there when her and I used to watch them together. Even though she passed 9 years ago in January, I feel like she’s still watching these soaps with me. It’s so great knowing that with Hulu I can watch the shows and remember my Grandma as I sat on her lap and watched drama unfold and immerse my mind into the lives of these insanely beautiful and sometimes sinister people.

Beginning April 29, 2013 two of the most beloved Soap Operas of all time, One Life to Live and All My Children, are coming back to Hulu with all new episodes! The shows will be welcoming back original cast members are back as well as a hot new group of actors and I’m geared up to see what type of spicy new story lines will be added into the mix.

Because I have my own kids now who are active in school and sports and I also work during the day on bloggie things, I don’t get a whole lot of time to sit in front of the TV. This means DVR does me no good, plus it fills up fast. Hulu will let me sit at my computer and watch my favorite soaps from my iPad while I work on my little corner of the internet. It’s a multi-taskers DREAM.

One Life to Live: Follows the complicated lives of three main families: the wealthy Lords, the powerful Buchanans and the strong-willed Cramers. The quiet simplicity of small town living is often interrupted by the drama between them yet despite the struggles, strong family bonds keep them united.

All My Children: Revolves around the lives of the residents of fictional Pine Valley. For nearly forty years, this town has seen the trials and tribulations of its dynamic families. Now your favorite stories are back, and more dramatic than ever!

Each episode is only a half hour long and there are two options to catch the latest episodes on Hulu: Hulu.com and Hulu Plus.

Hulu.com is absolutely free and allows you to watch the latest episodes on your computer.

The other option is through the Hulu Plus subscription service. With Hulu Plus, for a monthly fee of $7.99 you will be able to watch all episodes through select internet connected devices such as an iPad, iPhone, gaming consoles and set top boxes.

Not only will you be able to watch your favorite episodes on-the-go but you will also have full access to the Hulu library which includes complete series episodes of top TV hits.

To begin a free week trial, click here.

With Hulu.com and Hulu Plus you will be able to watch your favorite episodes of All My Children & One Life to Live anytime, anywhere.

    I’m excited because I grew up watching soaps and would love to see the old characters again.

  9. alyssa says

    I’ve watched Amc and OLTL since middle school and am exicted to watch them again

  10. clynsg says

    I am not a soap watcher, but my daughter is, and I would give this to her so that she could get back into to watching. Hula would be a cost effective way for her to do that.

  12. Betty C says

    I’ve never been able to watch the soaps because of work but it’s exciting to know I can watch them online now.

  16. Janice Cooper says

    I miss One Life to Live and was upset when they cancelled the show. HULA would be perfect for me because I can catch up and watch this soap anytime.

  20. Jammie says

    I am excited because I can watch whatever time of the day I want, sweepmorey at gmail dot com

  21. Phyllis maxey says

    I’m so happy to have AMC back. My husband &. I watched every day. He asked to watch in the er as we waited for a doctor & died 15 min. Later. That was 6 years ago & now I know he’s watching with me. Thanks .

  23. Barbara Stenby says

    I missed watching OLTL so I have watched all the episodes so far having watched it for over 30 years I am glad its back on.

  24. Candie L says

  25. susan smoaks says

    i am excited to watch the soaps on hulu because i like the fact that they are on when i want to watch them and i really miss the soaps

  27. kathy pease says

    Honestly I have not watched soaps in years but it would be exciting to start following a storyline again..they are addicting 🙂

  28. kelley c says

    I’m excited because I’ve already watched all the shows I like, so I’d like something new.

  30. Betty says

    i really appreciate the ability to watch more than one episode at a time. By having my own marathon viewings, the details of the shows are much more evident

  39. Brooke says

    Being able to catch up on the go with my tablet will be awesome! I don’t have a lot of time to sit down on the couch and watch tv.

  41. Wild Orchid says

    I am excited that I can watch as many episodes I want WHEN I want!

    I’m excited because I have never really given myself the time to watch them, I’d like to now, it would be a great way to relax 🙂

  46. Darlene says

    It is just so great to have AMC back. I have been watching since I was 17 years old.

  48. Kerry says

    I’m excited to start watching SOAPs on Hulu because I love tuning into Hulu while I’m walking on the treadmill. It’s always a treat to watch a favorite show while I’m exercising!

  52. Bridget Vanover says

    I work full time and don’t get to watch during the day. With Hulu I could watch when its convenient for me.

  53. Tracy @ Ascending Butterfly says

    I’m excited because the medium will allow the ‘soaps’ to truly become adult fare as they will have leeway online they never would have had if they were still on network TV. These are NOT your mama’s ‘stories’ anymore!

  55. Sarah W says

    I am so excited to watch Soaps on Hulu because I have missed my favorite show, OLTL, so much and the convenience of Hulu is just amazing!!!

  61. Erika says

    I haven’t seen a soap in a long time, but we can’t afford a cable bill, so this would be an awesome way to catch up on shows I’ve missed!

    Well, for one thing, I didn’t know they were there. Also, Hulu is so convenient. Thanks for the chance and thanks to BlogHer and Hulu for their sponsorship.

  68. Margaret Smith says

    I’m excited about SOAPS because in the past, when my favorite shows were on, I was at work. Now, I can watch when I have the time and it’s convenient for me.
    Thanks so much.

  70. Stephanie Hartman says

    I have watched Days of Our Lives since I was in High School, but now that I work full time it’s impossible to catch up, so being able to watch on the computer during my lunch hour will be awesome. Thank you for the giveaway.

  72. Kelly D says

    I am excited to watch Soaps on Hulu because the story lines are so intriguing and I can catch up on a lot of shows at once.

  73. Krystal says

    I have missed OLTL soo much and I am so excited that they are finally back! It’s like being reunited with long lost friends lol.

  74. Janine Huldie says
