Soap Plot lines

To be honest (and I appreciate most will disagree with me) I don't see the point in having soaps, or certainly so many, purely because, let's face it, they're all the same. There's always someone getting pregnant, getting married, being killed, something naughty generally, or some sort of disaster, and so they're all just very samey. I see little (or no) need for soaps, certainly not as many as there are. They should dump all of them except 1, then at least there might be a bit of variety, rather than all soaps showing the same things as each other all the time. That's just my opinion though.

I have one point in favour of soaps. Quite alot of young people watch them and relate to the characters. When those characters misbehave or get themselves into trouble in one way or another there is always an appropriate punishement or they get found out. There is never swearing in soaps either. I agree that fro time to time the story lines get a bit repetitive but isn't that the story of all our lives?

Lots of people like soaps - me too. OK Stevvy - they can be a bit samey.... boy meets girl, disaster etc etc predicatable..... just like football - always starts with 22 players - kick ball - try and get a goal. Grand Prix.... race round track - then do it all again - different circuit maybe .... just my opionion but it takes all sorts to make the world go round and TV is some people's only entertainment!

yes tv is entertainment ,everybody has different tastes i wouldnt watch half the progroms lioness watches and vice versa ,soaps r entertaiment thats all
