20 Things Only People Addicted To Soaps Can Understand
17. Struggling To Maintain A Moral Compass
Repeat after me: having an affair isnt normal. Generally the romantic life of people in soaps is fairly eventful. Youve got teachers getting with students, married people copping off with people they arent married to, step-siblings getting with each other, and thats only the start. Add in the amount of casual crime thats usually found, and youve got a recipe for real-life disaster. If you were caught on camera robbing a shop while on probation, chances are a flimsy alibi from your kid is going to be thoroughly investigated. Not on a soap its not. If you watch this every day it can be easy to forget that this isnt normal. This is not to say that soaps encourage deviant behaviour (isn't that what video games are for!?), but sometimes you can forget that actions do have consequences.
