The first daytime soap opera produced by a Cyprus channel was LOGOs TV's ''Odos Den Ksehno'' ("'Don't Forget' Street"), which ran from January to December 1996. It was followed by ''To Serial'', which also ran for one year from September 1997 to June 1998.

[[CyBC]] created the third weekdaily soap, ''Anemi Tou Pathous'' ("Passion Winds"), running from January 2000 to June 2004, which was replaced by ''I Platia'' ("The Square") from September 2004 to July 2006. ''Epikindini Zoni'' ran from 2009 to 2010, and was cancelled after 120 episodes. ''Vimata Stin Ammo'' made its debut in September 2010 until 2014 and was followed by ''Halkina Hronia'' (2017-2022).

[[Sigma TV]] first commissioned the weekdaily comedic soap ''Sto Para Pente'', which aired from September 1998 to June 2004, and was the longest weekday show in Cyprus television history, before it was surpassed by ''[[Se Fonto Kokkino]]'', which ran from September 2008 to July 2012 and then by ''Galateia'' (2016-2020).
Other Sigma TV weekday shows include ''Akti Oniron'' (which ran from 1999 to 2001), ''Vourate Geitonoi'' (which ran from 2001 to 2005, and was the most successful weekday series, achieving ratings shares of up to 70% of all television households in the country), ''Oi Takkoi'' (which ran from 2002 to 2005), ''S' Agapo'' (which ran from 2001 to 2002), ''Vasiliki'' (which ran from 2005 to 2006), ''Vendetta'' (which ran from September 2005 to December 2006), ''30 kai Kati'' (which ran from 2006 to 2007), ''Mila Mou'' (which ran from September 2007 to January 2009), ''7 ouranoi ke dinnefa alites'' (2012-2015) and ''Galateia'' (2016-2020)

[[ANT1 Cyprus]] aired the soap ''I Goitia Tis Amartias'' in 2002, which was soon canceled. ''Dikse Mou To Filo Sou'' followed from 2006 to 2009, along with ''Gia Tin Agapi Sou'', which ran from 2008 to 2009 and itself was followed by ''Panselinos'', which has aired 2009 to 2011.

====Weekly shows====
The longest-running weekly show on Cyprus television is ''Istories Tou Horkou'' ("Villages Stories", which premiered on CyBC in March 1996 and ran until its cancellation in June 2006; it was revived in September 2010 but was cancelled again in March 2011 due to very low ratings), followed by ''Manolis Ke Katina'' ("Manolis and Katina", which ran from 1995 to 2004). The most controversial of these series was ''To Kafenio'' ("The Coffee Shop"), which premiered on CyBC in 1993 as a weekly series, before moving to MEGA Channel Cyprus six years later in 1999 as a weekday show and then moved to ANT1 Cyprus in 2000, which canceled the show one year later. There were plans to move the show back to CyBC as a weekly series in 2001, with the original cast, however, this plan was never realised. The most successful weekly shows in Cyprus currently are ANT1's ''Eleni I Porni'' ("Eleni, The Whore"), which premiered in October 2010 and CyBC's ''Stin Akri Tu Paradisou'' ("At The Heaven's Edge"), which premiered in 2007. The most successful weekdaily soap was ''Aigia Fuxia'', which aired on ANT1 Cyprus from 2008 to 2010.
