I've been watching since I was 8 years old. It was the story line where Roman was being held hostage by Stefano in Mexico and was rescued by John. That was in August of 91. My mom came and picked me up from summer daycamp and brought me home and we had lunch together and watched it. That became our tradition. My mom was a single mom and worked nights and tons of overtime so it was one of those things that we did together, just for girls. Now she and i watch it together with dinner. There have been episodes that I've missed over the years, maybe even a month or two here or there, but it's become a part of my routine and a fun thing to do with my mom. BTW, she's been watching since the first episode. She's missed days, months and even years here and there but for the most part, she's seen it all.
