The ones I know of are all spanish speaking.  Are there ones that aren't, or would those just be called soap operas at that point?

No they are primarily produced in spanish and latin america. Yes they would just be considered Soap Operas in english.

OK.  Are they a big thing in spanish countries?  They aren't that important in the US, but you seem to hear more about them as Telenovelas.

In Spain they are actually referred to as "Culebrones"
