Have soaps changed?

I am an A-level student currently conducting
research into soap opera's and how their
importance to the TV schedule has changed
over the last 10 years. Do you feel soaps
storyline's are more/less realistic than 10
years ago? I'm also interested to know
whether you prefer to watch soaps at their
usual slots, on bcc 3/ itv 2 later the same
day or rather wait until the omnibus on the
weekend?. As a viewer do you know the reasons
why you watch soap operas? And finally do you
feel soaps are used as a way to hold up more
unpopular programmes?

Thanks

hey ezzy. i think in some ways they are more
realistic. they cover alot of different
problems and storys. i think they cover
storys that maybe arent always very usual or
arent visable to everyday life. if that makes
sense. i like watching them at their normal
times on tv. i watch them cause im bored and
then i end up getting caught up in the story
line. Hope that helps. Gemz xX

Soaps are definately less realistic than they
were 10 yrs ago and they're on too many times
a week now and that spoils the actual quality
of the show!

Soaps were never meant to be realistic.

Of course they're meant to be realistic,
there's no point having them otherwise!
