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?

In soap operas, you generally have new characters arriving and old characters departing with some regularity. Consequently, new plot lines start, and old ones are wrapped up. There are always a handful of storylines going on at any one time. While roles can be recast, especially with characters who depart for a long time and then come back, it’s not unusual for an actor to play a character for several years or even decades. Coronation Street has one guy who’s been playing his character since the show started in 1960.
