For decades, fans have stuck with the series throughout. Now, even in the streaming age, the show is far from slowing down. The recent season notably racked up a massive 3.1 billion minutes viewed on Peacock.
The show’s also got plenty of awards, too. It won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series in 1978 and again in 2013.
The show’s writing team has taken home Emmys in 2012, 2018, and 2022 for Outstanding Drama Series Writing.
