message: Trivial matter: does anyone know if Bob (the dummy) was technically a Campbell, or was he just "Bob"?

message: Was Soap a loose parody on Love of Life? You know, with the two sisters thing? One from money and one not? The main difference is that one of the sisters on LOL was a bitch, and both of them on Soap were really nice. Jessica was a ditz, though. Mike H 18:49, Sep 6, 2004 (UTC)

message: This article claims that Peter was Jessica's stepson, which is incorrect. He was the son of her sister's second husband (from his first marriage).  I don't know what to change it to -- step-nephew? Is that even a word? Tuf-Kat 01:41, Jan 5, 2005 (UTC)
: It would be better to say that Peter was the stepson of Jessica's sister Mary. 147.70.242.21 23:58, 7 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: step-nephew is a cromulent word, since you ask, but rarely used. —Tamfang (talk) 07:48, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

message: I could swear from admittedly distant) memory of watching the show that the introduction went "Confused? You will be after this episode of Soap". But then I undersood that half the reason Soap got watched was that it was a complete send-up of that sort of programme. --Fraggle11 (talk) 15:54, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I am pretty sure it usually went  "Confused? You wont be after this episode of Soap". I will check my DVDs when I get home... Format (talk) 20:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

text: Both mine and my wife's recollection is that the intro went as quoted by Fraggle11 i.e. "...You will be..." Spitpilot (talk) 17:15, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  I have the DVDs, and it's definitely "Confused?  You won't be..." Zachary Klaas (talk) 13:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: I made a change to spell it "Piece of Cholief" Tinkler...it's "oli" because the root word is "police", not "palice". Zachary Klaas (talk) 13:14, 22 September 2009 (UTC)

message: The article contains self-contradicting data on number of episodes inthe series. In the infobox it says there are 8 hour-long episodes, however the third paragraph says that there were only 4 of them. The total number of episodes (after splitting the hour-long ones) is stated as 93, but in the "DVD releases" section it is 95. What are the correct numbers, then? --Krótki (talk) 20:14, 2 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  The correct number of episodes? 

message: The "Controversy" section mentions many themes in the show that that caused controversy. One of them it mentions is "incest." I'm a big fan of the show; I've watched it through many times, and I don't recall any incest. I suppose there's Peter Campbell, whom both Jessica and Corinne had sex with. He is Jessica's Nephew and Corinne's cousin. But Peter was Burt's son from his first marriage. He had no blood relation to Jessica or Corienne, though he was technically Jessica's nephew. He had even less relation to Corienne, who was biologically the child of Jessica's brother.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.23.136.159 (talk) 05:33, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Also, remember that Jessica did not know that Peter was Mary's stepson at the time she was having the affair with him. Her finding that out was claimed to be her motive in killing him at the trial. CFLeon (talk) 07:11, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Incest? 

message: I dispute the accuracy of the statement that Soap's "viewer discretion advised" disclaimer was the first in TV history (is there another source beyond the one given?). For one thing I am certain James Bond films were preceded by similar disclaimers when they were broadcast prior to 1977. It's likely correct that Soap was the first TV series to have a disclaimer. 68.146.52.234 (talk) 16:28, 3 July 2014 (UTC)

message: As I understood Bert's flashback, Johnny fell while attacking Bert, but Bert did nothing (other than dodge the attack, if that) to send him on his way; so morally he need not even claim self-defense. —Tamfang (talk) 07:56, 29 November 2014 (UTC)

message: The dvd box set was re-released in 2015 and the running time (2312 vs 2161) states that it contains more material than the previous release. Does anyone know whether the previous syndicated episodes have been replaced by the broadcast versions or what other material has been added? If yes, please add information to dvd section on the wiki page. :-) Normann1974 (talk) 15:04, 15 May 2016 (UTC)

message: If I recall correctly, Mary was the older sister between her and Jessica, but I can't remember if Corrine or Eunice was older. Anyonme know? CFLeon (talk) 07:06, 6 September 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: The confusion over this is brought up in two episodes. Eunice claims she had to grow up in Corinne's shadow, but Dutch points out that Eunice is actually the older sister. In another episode, Mary and Jessica both claim to be the younger sister. Specialsam110 (talk) 18:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
