As the World Turns Canceled

I think the problem with soaps is that some of the storylines are the following:
1) so far fetched that they are just hard to believe (i.e. Marlena being pocessed by the devil)
2) they drag on forever and ever and ever and ever (i.e. Abby being Victors kid. It only took like 4 years, literally, for it to come out. Even though everyone else knew)

I'm sorry I rarely watch soaps anymore, but I could easily turn on General Hopsital, One Life to Live, Days of Our Lives or All My Children and know exactly what is going on. How pathetic is that?

Unless soaps change their attitudes when it comes to storylines, I agree with OTW that they will go the way of the dinosaur within the next 10 years.

Eh, I don't know. The far-fetchedness has always been part of their . . . charm.

I think their main problems are (1) more women working, so they're not at home during the day and (2) more competition from cable.
