AS THE WORLD TURNS Quizzes

Family Values

— By Jennifer Lenhart

AS THE WORLD TURNS is known for the multiple generations that make up the twisted (and intersecting) root systems of Oakdale families' trees. Check out the 3/11 issue of Digest for a detailed dossier on the Hugheses, and take our quiz to see which family would make you feel most at home.

1. Kitchen Confidential: Good-hearted Emma (Kathleen Widdoes) guides the Snyders. — GEORGE DE SOTA/JPI

   When you first realize you're in love, you ...
1. Indulge in a fantasy about the kids and the picket fence, but remind yourself to take things slowly.
2. Spend plenty of time in bed with your new partner, but also give some serious thought to any changes that they might need to make to really be compatible with you.
3. Plan to spend the rest of eternity with your new soul mate, who you will never let out of your sight.
4. Wait for the other shoe to drop — if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
2. You find out your lover cheated on you. How do you react?
1. You're angry, but you know there's still love between you, so hopefully you can find a way to work this out.
2. You say a lot of things you don't mean, then immediately seek out someone else for revenge sex.
3. You fake your death to give yourself time to plot how you will destroy the cheater and their new lover.
4. You buy a gun — if you can't have them, no one can.
3. Uh-oh — there's a sex tape featuring you on the Internet! How did that happen?
1. Oops! You and your husband were trying to spice up the marriage and it must have gotten out.
2. Sometimes you're gullible and an ex must have tricked you.
3. It's a scam — your archnemesis is setting you up!
4. You must admit that it's you, but you're totally out of that phase now.

4. Style And Substance: Barbara (Colleen Zenk Pinter) keeps close tabs on all the Ryans, especially Will (Jesse Soffer, c.) and Paul (Roger Howarth). — GEORGE DE SOTA/JPI

3. Someone is arrested.
4. Mom gets drunk.
5. An old friend of yours shows up in town. What does your family do?
