How do Soap Operas work

858 viewsOther

So i just read that General Hospital has over 60 seasons and the longest airing show ever is Guiding Light at 72 seasons.

So like are each season consistent with the last? Do they reference something that happened 10seasons ago? Do they use the same actor/actress for all seasons? Is soap operas just a dramatized version of real life?

The UK’s **Coronation Street** holds the official Guinness World Record for being the longest running/oldest television soap opera in history. Coronation Street first premiered in 1960 and has since aired over 10,000 episodes.
