How do Soap Operas work

852 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?

All My Children had some crazy storylines. I started watching in middle school because I spent the summer with my cousins and they got me into it. I remember the main story was one of the characters, David was a cardiologist and he was madly in love with Dixie, but she was married to a guy named Tad (who had the nickname Tad the Cad). If I remember correctly, David was working on a drug that boosted libido called Libidozone and in an effort to get Dixie away from Tad, he planned to spike Tads drink with the drug in the hopes he would cheat on his wife with another woman. He accidentally ended up spiking the punchbowl and the party erupted into a giant orgy. Tad got caught in a compromising situation with someone else and Dixie ran into David’s arms.
