All over the world, people watch soap operas (soaps for short) on television. Some soaps are shown in the afternoons. They are cheap productions because they are intended for a limited audience. Others are multi-million dollar productions, often with big stars. These are shown at peak times weekend evenings. A successful prime-time soap can make unknown actors and actresses world-famous. It will also make a lot of money for the producer. Some soaps run for years. Others flash across our screens for a year or two, and then vanish. Some viewers get so involved in a soap that they imagine the characters are real A world-wide successful soap can start a fashion and hit headlines.
How are they written?
Soaps are written to a formula. The main types are:
A. The rich and grand. Often, the main characters belong to one family, and they run a family business. Viewers watch them for the glamour of big houses, fast cars and huge business deals.
B. The professionals. These soaps take place in a workplace. Hospitals and hotels are popular. The main characters are doctors and nurses, managers and room staff. Patients/guests come and go, but there is plenty of opportunity for drama and crises. These are mixed in with complicated bits of the characters’ private lives.
C. The neighbors. Another popular kind of soap is that which centers on the lives of people living in the same street or area. They are usually working class, and people watch them because they represent Ordinary People, just like You and Me.
