Some people may refer to "Dynasty" as a serial (though I would think they are in the minority as "serial" is a bit archaic), but many people call it a soap opera as well.
More importantly, people are going to know what I mean when I say "soap opera", so I don't know why you would have a problem with me or anybody else calling "Dynasty" or "Dallas" a soap opera. Your insistence on saying that "serial" is correct and "soap opera" isn't is not only wrong, but also seems a bit precious. Clarity of communication is the most important thing here.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dynasty is an American prime time television soap opera that aired on ABC from January 12, 1981, to May 11, 1989.

I call the night time ones
serials
because that's what the networks and the shows themselves refer themselves as. The networks and shows DON'T refer to them as soap operas. That's RESERVED for the daytime ones.

You remind me of someone who would correct a customer for ordering a large mocha latte at a coffeshop-
"Large is incorrect! The correct word is venti!"

coffee

tea
IS my VERY-FAVORITE drink. One 12-ounce cup of tea consists of the following teas, sweetener and half & half:
