Concerning DayTimes, the lists shows in what year that the show was aired in the US, the show is in Israel now. The Soap that is closest to the US episodes, is the most 'progressed' Soap.
Concerning PrimeTimes, the lists shows when it was aired in Israel. So it shows which Soap is the oldest and which is the newest, here.
The current episodes we're watching aren't the same episodes that are airing now in the US. The 'older' DayTimes fall a few years behind and the 'newer' ones fall only a few months behind.
DayTime Soaps Progression List |
Soap | Point it's at |
Sunset Beach | January of 1998 (canceled) |

One Life to Live | September of 1997 |
The Bold and the Beautiful | August of 1997 |
Days of Our Lives | April of 1995 |

Y&R is the most un-progressed Soap, but it's the most "veteran" DayTime both of "Channel 3"'s and Israel's.
Sunset Beach, although it's been cancelled, is the most progressed Soap, since it's closest to the US episodes.
Y&R, B&B, and OLtL are the "veterans". They have been airing the longest. Y&R is the oldest, then B&B and then OLtL.
Port Charles, although it's on hold, is the newest Soap in Israel.
