Things that only happen on soap operas

Technology exists to create evil weather changing machines that will allow a person to take over the city, but thwarted by the shows unlikely romantic duo!

Ah, 1980's General Hospital :lovestruc :laughing:
 
Hi
In one soap a lady is buried alive ..lol...for quite along time now yet ?? shs's still wearing make up:confused3 lol..
 
There is always a "hospital" set.
Demon possesion is real.
There is always one evil family and one good family.
When the evil villian is killed off, he will return in a year or so.
Even good girls have a deep dark secret that somepne else knows about and will use the info to blackmail her.
 

Remarrying the same person 37 times is not at all out of the ordinary..;)
 
A character will have a secret that is used as blackmail by someone who either extorts money out of them or makes them do things they don't want to do. If they had just told someone what the secret was (it always turns out not to be that bad considering it's soapland) in the first place then the "evil" person wouldn't have been able to blackmail them.
 
You can commit any crime and get away with it.

The entire town is goodlooking.

Women can fake pregnancies and nobody ever suspects.
 
You will fall in love with your rapist with in 6 months, because well...he didn't REALLY mean to do it!
All step children are out to hook up with their step parents.
It turns out the step parent is actually the REAL parent!
There is a remote Island out there that you will be secluded on with your worst enemy for 2 years, but in soap world it is only 3 months.
 
Only on soaps can your aborted Son be alive 20 years later.

Can you have kids but still be able to be running around town at all hours of the day and night.
 
All the maids, who are never seen on camera, seem to let in every enemy of the homeowner unannounced.

Every scene involving a car will eventually end tragically.

Every person in a coma will miraculously awake upon the begging of a loved one.

Everyone trying to keep a secret speaks at the top of their voice so they can be overheard at the most inopportune time.

All the women wear sleeveless tops regardless of the fact it is winter.
 
Everyone is forgetting the weirdest one.....
NO ONE WATCHES SOAP OPERAS (on soap operas) lol !!! oh and no one says "hey that only happens on soap operas!" EVER you never here that! I startyed dvr ing GH a few weeks ago(have not watched since I was a teen) and I know now WHY I stopped....its sooooo frustrating!! I can not stand someting with no storyline end and they NEVER just wrap it up.lol The only reason I watched is because of brenda but they are not doing alot with her, really I wish they would just put her with Jason or dante or let Sonny have her so we can get on with it already! :rotfl: She has NO spark with jax at all...let that trampy carly have him.I really dislike that character.....GGRRRR and dont get me started on Maxi (i think) I need a xanax just watching her....yuck!
 
The previously mentioned only restaurant, coffee shop, hospital in town apparently are always hiring because anytime a new character shows up, gets out of jail, or otherwise needs employment, they immediately start working at one of the mentioned locales.
 
I haven't watched soaps in a long time, but I remember everyone had such a "cool" name.

Also, I remember someone would ask a question, and there would be this really long period of silence then they cut to commercial. And too, alot of times both characters would be facing the camera, instead of each other, so one person was essentially speaking to the other persons back.

Gee, for not watching for a long time I sure sound knowledgeable. Feels like riding a bike - it all comes back to you.
 
I always get a kick out of when they have two characters having a whispered conversation but they are so loud that everyone in the place could hear them but they don't. On the other side of that you have two characters having a whispered conversation and the person they don't want to hear them is standing 50 feet away and hears every word.
 
Every house has a really nice front door, which you mostly see from the inside...always on the left of the screen...with a entry parlor the size of a small house...decorated like a museum...there's always a wet bar on the back wall...which ALWAYS has fresh ice...and some sort of liquor in the glass bottle with the glass stopper on top...

everyone who visits this house will stand in this foyer, and, after making a drink, have the most serious discussions about the latest drama of the day...

I haven't had this much drama in my whole LIFE.
 
Talking to yourself (or your secret unborn child) is not only perfectly acceptable no matter where you are, it's necessary to sort out your thoughts and/or solidify your evil plan.
