SON Community: Errol - Viewing Profile

For me and for how SON chooses which series, daytime and primetime, to cover it boils down to this...

A soap opera is a serialized drama that tells stories that aren't opened and closed from episode to episode. A plot point that takes place in season one can cause repercussions in season five. CSI isn't a soap opera, but The Good Wife can be. In one aspect it deals with open and closed cases from week to week, but the story of Alicia's marriage and her husbands incarceration and how it effects her personally along with her kids continues on each and every episode. Desperate Housewives is a soap opera as it follows one storyline throughout the course of a season, but the show itself believes its a comedy. Who's right? Grey's Anatomy is a soap opera, but they consider themselves a medical drama series that deals with cases that are open and closed (generally) from episode to episode, but they have characters that deal with romance, ups and downs, deaths, etc over the course of the series' life span. The term soap opera is a gray area as there are numerous programs out there that could be classified as a soap based on what I consider a soap to be, but the show doesn't want to fall into that stigma, because if they do it might turn off viewers who just want to watch an episode today and skip the next week without feeling like they are missing out on a major turning point in a story.

ABC has issued a full statement regarding the ouster both actors and the Kish. I'll give Scotty sometime to post, otherwise, I might do it myself.

What the heck is going on? What was said about Farah that is causing this "situation?" Also, please tone down the language when referring to real people. There is no need to be rude.

It seems that whichever poster you are referring to has HTML coding in their signature, but they forgot to close their coding which results in the subsequent posts to look incorrect. Please let us know who the poster is or PM them to make them aware of the matter.

Thanks.
