Soap operas: Who cares?

Well my late grandmother got me watching. She couldn't read so she said that by watching a soap opera it was like listening to a juicy story and watching it unfold. I decided to watch a few but found them to be a bit ridiculous. I watch General Hospital sometimes but lately it has been boring me. Too much violence and not enough romance or adventure. The soap operas are going downhill and soon they may no longer exist. I think the appeal of the old ones was that bored housewives or those stuck at home could escape their everyday life and be drawn into a fictional world of romance and adventure as well as ghost stories. By the way I too never saw the appeal of Luke and Laura and never found them interesting at all.

I only watch general hospital. And even that I dont watch all the time. You dont have to you can miss a week a pick up on it right away it is slow. You just have to be into. And your not.
