In 2002, Soapnet began airing reruns of "Dynasty", and by 2003, the channel added highly requested programming such as reruns of "Another World" and "Dallas"; replacing "Falcon Crest", "The Colbys", "Hotel", and "Sisters". In 2004, Soapnet acquired the rights to broadcast "Days of Our Lives" episodes on a same-day basis. The channel also aired the 1975 to 1981 episodes of "Ryan's Hope", which had not been seen on television since its 1989 cancellation by ABC. At that time, many viewers who did not have Soapnet at its inception petitioned to have the channel broadcast the show from the very beginning. In 2003, the channel aired the first episodes starting on St. Patrick's Day.
