IMDb says it's the first television Soap Opera, Wikipedia says the same.

1946? It may well have been. It's doubtful anything survives of the show, although there may be a few peple who remember seeing it. The star listed, Flora Campbell became TV's Valiant Lady, derived from a Hummert radio sudser, which played on CBS for several years in the mid-1950's. It aired at 12 noon EST and was cancelled, i believe, because Love of Life expanded to 30 minutes, moving its start from 12:15 to 12:00, leaving room for Search for Tomorrow and Guiding Light (12:30 and and 12:45) which retained the 15-minute format.
