SOAPnet's Programming Stunt Inspires Several Marriage Proposals

Valentine's Day Weekend Marathon Featuring The Loves Of "General Hospital's" Robin Scorpio Gives Fans A Unique Way To Propose Marriage -- The Answer is “Yes”

February 11, 2008, BURBANK, CA. – How would you get the attention of your boyfriend or girlfriend? Propose marriage during their favorite show. Several couples took advantage of SOAPnet’s Valentine's Day programming special "Robin Unwrapped," a 3-episode marathon featuring the loves of Dr. Robin Scorpio (played Kimberly McCullough on "General Hospital"). Viewers were invited to submit their personal Valentine love letters, stories and proposals, to be read by McCullough during interstitials of the marathon. Over 1,000 letters were sent, including 17 marriage proposals and a high school prom invitation. McCullough read every proposal on-air or online. As a result, several couples got engaged on Sunday.

SOAPnet offers same-day episodes of popular daytime dramas including "All My Children," "Days of our Lives," "One Life to Live," "General Hospital" and "The Young and the Restless" at night for convenient viewing. In addition, the network provides inside access to stars and storylines with original programs, including "General Hospital: Night Shift," the docusoap, "The Fashionista Diaries," the reality series "I Wanna Be A Soap Star" and the biography shows "Soapography," and "1 Day With..."
