Best Answer

According to some research studies, people watch Soap Operas because they help them escape problems in their own everyday lives. One study on this subject also claims that people associate with soap operas because they find similarities in the social and personal problems displayed in such television shows with their own problems: "Despite the presence of melodrama in soaps, there is also a recognisable element of realism, which allows the viewers to become involved by means of relating themselves to the characters and situations." (http://www.aber.ac.uk/media/Students/pjl9601.html) Never-ending suspense is another attractive factor to soap operas.
