What is a soap opera?
By Trevor Lang
A soap opera is a daytime radio or television drama serial about the daily lives and problems of the same group of people. Soap operas are characterised by romance, sentimentality and melodrama. The term ‘soap opera’ was coined by the American press in the 1930s because these serials were sponsored by soap manufacturers. The serials were mainly watched by women, most of whom at that time didn’t work, they were housewives. They were also major consumers of soap.
