King of Queens is a soap fan?!

On Monday's (2/6) episode of King of Queens, "Apartment Complex", something happens that makes me think that the Heffernan's are soap fans. Early on in the episode, the boys poker game is being forced to move to another locale. Danny Heffernan, played by Gary Valentine and who is the main character's cousin, is reading a magazine in the living room. When the dialogue turns to him it is obvious he is reading Soap Opera Weekly. Since he didn't bring any magazines in with him, one must assume someone in the household is a fan. The more I think about it, the more I think it might be Carrie's father, Arthur (played by Jerry Stiller).
