So far, all four have been renewed but their concern is valid.

Each time renewals come around, fans worry about their favorite one being canceled. There was a time when there were several soaps that viewers could choose from. Soap Opera Spoilers: Surviving Through the Years Days of Our Lives actually created an Internet series on the official DOOL app, “Chad & Abby in Paris” that was based on a fan-favorite couple, “Chabby.” There are plans to create more of those “app-isodes” and viewers wonder if this might eventually happen with other soaps, too. To keep up with changing times, at least one soap opera has begun using “web-based” spin-offs. Now, fans watch by using their DVRs, watching online, and even using streaming services like Hulu Plus. You don’t have to struggle with the VCR not taping episodes.

You no longer have to be at home by a certain time to catch the soap.

Soap opera spoilers indicate that times are changing, technology is advancing, and so are the ways that fans watch.
