Besides the slaps , soaps are just so good. Look at this montage, there's royalty, mass shootings at a coronation, car accidents, alien twins falling from space, explosions, brides in jail, brides attacking grooms, dancing, swimming and a country western bar, and of course lots and lots of sweet sweet love making. What more could you want?

Nothing's greater than a soap opera slapathon!

So I started researching my family to see if they might be secret Italian royalty and I came across this. It is a Buffalo census from 1930 which has to be them but one of the names is wrong. Ellen is my Aunt Helen (e:czarkasm)'s grandmother. I think it is at least. I think they are wrong, ynless she's always had her name wrong.

My Nonna used to always talk about Princess Mafalda. There isn't tons of info on her but she always had a special place in my mind. I guess she was kinda the star of the Italian royal family when she was a child and everyone loved her. She was an Italian princess from1902-1944. Her husband was a german royal relative and nazi and she was thought to be a secret anti-nazi fighter. She was arrested by German officials and was eventually killed in a concentration camp. I was kinda surprised that an Italian royal was killed in a concentration camp. Then I looked into it a little more and there was lots of princes and princesses from all over Europe who died in concentration camps. Not tons but more than I would have thought. I don't know why that is surprising but it seems like royalty , they always have a connection and a way out of any situation but I guess not really.

whenever someone sneaks into a room on a soap opera and locks the door, you never know if they are gonna kill the other person or have sex with them .
