OK the real reason that soap operas last for so long is because people like th idea of living forever, and when they can see characters that dont ever age for 20 friggin years it makes them feel good.

To show us that our lives don't have to be as screwed up as their's are. I mean how many people actually live like they do. They wake up with perfect hair sleep in the best clothes and sleep with each other as the tales go on. Think about it some of these people have been around the block for years and their still going.

I have oftened wondered, but they introduce new characters and long lost relatives for new story lines. Kill off old characters, break up couples,marriages, then move on to new romances. Children go off to boarding school and return six months to a year later all grown up or a teen ager. So on and on they go.

Because people (me included) enjoy watching them. Sure, they've got some very crazy - and reoccurring - story lines but they're entertaining (which is the purpose of many, many shows on TV).

Because its a portrayal of everyday life and something different happens all the time. I think thats the reason why.

As long as people keep watching them, it will remain there.
All those companies that advertise their products/services know that they will have a kept market.
