Our Private World is an American serial. It was the first prime-time spin-off from a daytime soap (the number one daytime soap opera at the time, As the World Turns). Created by Irna Phillips and William J. Bell, it premiered on May 5, 1965 and aired Wednesdays and Fridays over the summer; the multiple episode per week format was inspired by ABC's hit show Peyton Place. The final episode aired on September 10 of the same year. Our Private World starred Eileen Fulton as Lisa Miller Hughes, the same heroine she had played on As the World Turns, as well as Nicolas Coster. A total of 38 half-hour episodes were produced.

The storyline started on As the World Turns, with Lisa boarding a train to Chicago and the announcer (Dan McCullough) encouraging the audience to watch the spin-off. Upon arriving, Lisa took a job in the admitting room of the local hospital and met her wealthy future husband John Eldredge (Coster, who decades later would also play Lisa's seventh husband, Eduardo Grimaldi). Shortly after the demise of the series, Fulton returned to As the World Turns. For other uses, see Chicago (disambiguation). ...

Nearly three decades later, As the World Turns writers would resurrect remnants from Lisa's storyline on Our Private World, when a son Lisa had had while in Chicago whom viewers had never been made aware of (presumably born during the several-month long perid when Our Private World left the air in mid-1965 and when Fulton returned to As the World Turns in early 1966) resurfaced and made contact with her.
