Summary
As The Word Turns is the second longest running soap opera, debuting back in 1956. The story focuses on the dealings of the Hughes, the Munsons and the rest of the mid-western town known as Oakdale.
The writers of As The Word Turns favor gradual evolution over the radical change that marks some daytime dramas.
Slow, conversational, and emotionally intense, the show moves at the pace of life itself - sometimes even more slowly than that.
Each new addition to the cast is done in a gradual manner, and was usually a key contact to one of the members of the Hughes family.
