Soaps, why?

Darkstar · #1 (**permalink**) 28-09-05, 07:48

Hi, Why is it so many people are addicted to soap operas?, corrie,enders,hollyoaks etc etc, soaps all centre around death doom and dispondancy. Could it be because people feel better seeing others having a rougher time than they are?. I am not condemming anyone for watching this type of rubbish, i am genuinly curious as to why they do.

I dont watch them as much as i used to..........i think a lot of it is that our parents watched them and we have just followed on........Eastenders is dog poo at the moment......Corrie has it's moments,and emmerdale can be quite funny (viv windsor is great)......dont watch sexy hollyoaks.........and the australian soaps are just plain rubbish.
IMO.

Hey GC
Stargate SG1, Andromeda, The Dead Zone - are all excellent Sci-Fi soap operas - they just tend to be set in space

I have stop watching soaps for a long time now and I'm glad. I found watching soaps is nothing like the real life.

i thinks some soaps are very real life and we watch them because we like to escape from our little bubbles and see how other people live
