brilli"-"Iwt-
have an announcement to
make. In the future, would people
please refrain from calling or
making appointments to see me
between 1 and 2 pm. I won't be in
the office.
You see I . have a daily
engagement between the hours of 1
and 2, an important matter that
upsets me very much when it is
interrupted and I even take this
late lunch so I won't miss it.
Not only. is my lunch scheduled
for that . hour, but also one of the
special 'highlights of my day, All
My Children. t
No, I don't have a house full of
hungry kids waiting for me (for-
tunately). All My Children is my
favorite soap opera.
Oh yes, there will be familiar
groans of boredom and disgust
from some of you, but really soaps
aren't as terrible as. you may think.
In fact they're quite fascinating.
Soaps are addictive and if the
boss would let me, I could con-
tentedly sitin front of the TV all
afternoon, catching up on all the
action of One Life to Live, Another
World and All My Children.
However, I must limit myself to
only one hour of fictional tragedy
and triumph, only catching
glimpses of the other soaps ,on
preview commercials.
The concept of ; soap operas .is
really an arta I must .commend
those writers for the way they can
take the most ludicrous situations
and the most exaggerated.
characters and confidently place
them on television. As ridiculous as
some soaps may seem, many are
included on the list of, the longest
running television shows and
millions of people watch them
daily. In fact, according to molt
networks, afternoon television is .
the most popular and most
.profitable time slot, even more so
than the evening prime time.
Granted, the acting is excellent
on most soaps but realistically, the
shows are ridiculous. I think that's
why I watch them, just to see what
will happen next, who will die, who
will get pregnant, who will fall in
love, who will fall out of love and
who will be destroyed .by their
scandalous past. Soap writers have
some sort of power over their
viewers, they keep you hanging on,
turning on your television set each
day just to see what happens even
though the end is so predictable.
One soap's much like the next.,
The organ music plays in the
background against the setting
that always includes a hospital
where someone works. Along with
. at least one laywer, there's always
a wealthy family and a poor
family, both who have their up-
standing members -and their
skeletons in the closet.
No soap would be complete
without the evil, conniving female,
usually a beautiful black haired
vixen. She always has an unusual
name like Iris, Sybil, Erica,
Raven, Brandy, Dehlia, Dorian' or
Phoebe.
Arfd then there's the nice ladies.
Innocents who wouldn't harm
anyone and are unbelievably sweet
and forgh ing. Naturally they're
given names like, Jill, Faith, Pat,
Alice, Nancy, April or Betsy,
But the soap's are still great. I
mean' who, could resist 'watching
Erica flaunt in her new disco., her
husband's former lounge that she
secretly remodelled while he lay
suffering in the hospital. And who
could resist the Romeo, and Juliet
romance between Nina and the
young doctor Cliff; a romance that
has been tampered with by Nina's
possessive and domineering father
who refuses to let his daughter
become like her dead mother. And
then there's Sybil, who fed Nina's
father information to destroy the
relationship between the two lovers
so she could have Cliff herself.
What will happen to Kelly? Will
she quit taking speed' and marry
Link, the lawyer or will she remain
singing at The Chateau, under the
ruthless blackmailing powers of
Eddie? And will Eddie kill Myrtle,
Kelly's friend, who is trying to put
Eddie behind bars?,
Will Paul go ahead with his
divorce from his wife Anne, who's
in a mental institution. Or will he
listen to the pleas of his un-
derstanding mistress, Ellen, who.,
feels so desperately sorry for Anne.
And what about Ruth? Will the
middle. aged woman's first baby be
a normal, healthy one?
Now tell me, how could you resist
such suspense?
