Blog work to be done by 16th Oct - Soaps as open narratives

Soaps as open narratives:

In soaps, there is always more than one story happening at once. These stories would be continuous and occasionally leave the odd cliff-hanger at the end of an episode. Once one of these stories ends, new ones often containing different characters begin. Saving the characters from boring the audience.  Using an open narrative with soaps allow the writers to drag a story out for many episodes building the story to gain interest from the public.
