With Award Show season about to kick into high gear i though i'd present to you my first annual Sitcomsonline Soap Opera Awards.

These are just my own personal ideas of what the best of soap opera for this past soap season is. (Eligbility date May 2003-August 2004).

Category placement is left up to me- some people could go either lead or supporting.

This really means nothing but what i believe to be the best.
