Wait. Soap operas were used as an example of character development? Aren't soaps like 100% non-developmental?

Characters don't change, like, at all in soaps, last I checked.

Soaps are closer to wrestling than actual tv...characters aren't nuanced changed...they're sliced and diced - Will Hunting Jul 22, 12:44 1
- Soap operas = non-contact wresting. There might be heel/face turns, but characters generally don't grow, afaict. (nm) - musubi, adorable Jul 22, 12:52
Their stories change. Maybe wrestling would be a better example. -- nm - Beryllium (iPhone) Jul 22, 12:44 1
