Everything feels rushed these days — the goals, the reinventions, the pressure to move forward before we’ve even caught our breath. In this episode of Lathered in Love, host Felice slows things down and invites you to linger in nostalgia, reflection, and the kind of love stories that unfolded patiently — the ones that let your heart lead before your head caught up.

This episode revisits three unforgettable soap opera love stories that defined love in very different ways. From the forbidden, push-and-pull romance of Lily and Holden on As the World Turns, to the quiet yearning and inevitable sacrifice of Jason Morgan and Elizabeth Webber on General Hospital, to the enduring, hard-won marriage of Bob and Kim Hughes — this is a meditation on love as disruption, love as longing, and love as choosing to stay.

Falling Back in Love With Love isn’t about plot twists or shock value. It’s about recognition. About glances that lingered, silences that spoke volumes, and relationships that taught us what love could feel like — whether it lasted or not. If you’ve ever found yourself missing the pace, the patience, and the emotional depth of classic daytime television, this episode is for you.

🎧 Settle in, slow down, and remember — some love stories don’t rush to the ending. They stay with us.

Welcome to the debut episode of Lathered in Love, where we kick off our nostalgic summer mini-series Summer Storylines That Sizzled by heading to none other than Genoa City! In this episode, we relive the unforgettable summer that gave us one of the most iconic teen triangles in soap opera history — Traci Abbott, Lauren Fenmore, and Danny Romalotti — and the shirtless arrival of Brad Carlton that made hearts race across America.

Join host Felice as she dives deep into this delicious Young and the Restless summer storyline from the early 1980s — complete with poolside betrayal, strawberry sundaes, sundresses, and sulking glances. This episode unpacks how Traci’s emotional arc gave voice to every viewer who ever felt unseen, and how Lauren's mean-girl energy became a defining soap trope. And we can’t forget Dru — bathing suit on, straw hat tilted, and bringing unforgettable sass that made her the moment.

Whether you’re team Traci, team Lauren, or just here for Brad Carlton’s shirtless debut, this episode is a love letter to the summer heat, heartbreak, and hope that only soap operas can deliver.
