Long-running [[Soap Opera]] on [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]], premiering in 1970. Within the framework of a traditional [[Family Drama]] soap, Agnes Nixon created a show that incorporates young love, relevant social issues and high comedy. Its memorable [[Title Sequence]], at least through 1989, showed a woman's hand opening a family photo album.
The show is set in fictional Pine Valley, Pennsylvania, close enough to New York for day travel. A notable character is much-married Erica Kane (Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Roy Roy Montgomery Montgomery Chandler Marick Marick Montgomery), played since the show's inception by Susan Lucci. Lucci was famously nominated 18 times for a Daytime Emmy for this role without a win, finally winning on #19.
