I'm home sick today so, let's have some fun. What are some things you will always see/hear in soaps?
Dramatic music.
Same characters for 20 years... Still with the same drama.
What else? 
You might also enjoy...
-
1. Who's the father?
2. People coming back from the "dead"Love my soaps though
-
Someone gets injured and develops amnesia, everyone else thinks they are dead, and then they show up 1 to 5 years later and find their wife/husband is married to their best friend/brother/sister/cousin, etc...
-
I love how everyone's been married about 6 times and has children that are never seen on screen.
-
@looch: And said children age about 5 years in one week.
-
Don't they always fall down the stairs and lose the baby? That's what my mom would always joke about. Her mom watched a ton of soaps.
-
@IRunForFun: yes, that's my favorite part of soaps, the rapid aging!
I also like the hours that everyone spends at work...hardly any!
-
Whoa! I was just getting showered at the gym to come back up to work and Day's of Our Lives was on and I found myself wondering why no one in a Soap Opera ever seems to know who the father is! So I'm with @leelee:
-
@looch: Unless they work in a hospital. In which case, they seem to be at work 24/7.
-
@IRunForFun: haha! So true! And everyone is always so wealthy!
-
I love that even if you don't watch the show for a year you can still catch up pretty fast after just 1 episode!
-
I love the long serious stares before commercial breaks. I always think about how funny that must be for the actors.
-
Weddings stopped at the last minute . . . which also ties in to people coming back from the dead!
-
@Mamaof2: Haha so true! In one year, the characters age 5 years, but the story line only advances about 5 days!!
-
If someone is pregnant, they WILL get stuck in an elevator with their ex-lover and deliver the baby. Common sense!!
-
@Mamaof2: it's been like 8 years since I've seen Days. Sammie is still there. Still causing trouble. Haha.
And booze. Always drinking out of fancy glasses.
