 A CBS Soaps In Depth cover, dated July 15, 2003. Featured are Michael Park and Maura West of As the World Turns. Soaps In Depth is a series of magazines created in 1997 to give American soap opera viewers more variety in their soap-related magazine purchases. Instead of buying a magazine like Soap Opera Digest, in which all soap operas are covered, Soaps In Depth gave the soap viewer and potential shopper three choices: ABC Soaps In Depth, CBS Soaps In Depth, and NBC Soaps In Depth. The difference is really self-explanatory: Each magazine only featured interviews with the casts relating to that network's soap opera lineup. In late 1999, when NBC decided to scale down from four soap operas to two, NBC Soaps In Depth was discontinued. The ABC and CBS issues are still being sold.
The magazines are published biweekly.
