Members DRW50 Posted June 21, 2010 Members Share Posted June 21, 2010 I think a big part of the Twilight appeal is involving yourself in the emotional dramas of the characters. That's what soaps used to be about. You watch one or two episodes of a soap and you will want to know more and be drawn into the angst and the pain and wonder what will happen next. That's one of the reasons I started getting hooked on soaps. Interesting characters and identifiable characters and their problems and how they got along. Soaps have spent years with constant violence and death and instalove and one-sided writing with no buildup and no reason to care. If anything this should have appealed to an instant gratification viewer. Instead it has driven viewers away and attracted no one new. Few of the successful TV shows or film franchises are as callous as soaps have become. They are much less "what's in it for me" than today's daytime.
