I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'soap' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'quotes shock number steeped in fruit' is the wordplay.
'quotes shock' becomes 'days' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'number' becomes 'four' (four is a kind of whole number).
'steeped in' indicates putting letters inside (I've seen this in other clues).
'fruit' becomes 'olives ' (I've seen this before).
'four' put into 'olives' is 'ofourlives'.
'days'+'ofourlives'='DAYS OF OUR LIVES'
