Best Answer

Soap Operas are known for their longevity because they have a dedicated audience that has invested in the ongoing storylines and characters. They often feature open-ended narratives that can be easily extended or adapted to keep the drama going. Additionally, soap operas have a cost-effective production model, with simple sets and a quick turnaround time, which allows them to produce episodes at a relatively low cost.

Why is there not a website for free soap operas?

I know of some but they are for hindi, bangladeshi, or Indian soap operas one of them being bollyzone.tv and another being BD bangla.com, and the last being amarnatok.com. Some reasons for no websites containing free soap operas are 1) the people can make money 2) no one would be able get all the clips/part/episodes and 3) it might have to be a site that runs on donations by users so there's always the problem that there might not be enough soap opera enthusiasts to help or have the time to help.

Why is it call a soap opera if there is no singing?

Soap Operas were so named due to the fact that these melodramatic shorts were first sponsored by soap companies. There was quite a bit of dramatic lighting & background music (along with a bit of over acting) which caused the shows to be compared to operas. Opera has a wider meaning than just the musical plays known as "operas." Opus (the singular of opera) means "work" as in a piece or product from an artist. An artist's greatest work is sometimes called his/her "magnum opus." Other examples exist of "opera" being used humorously to describe a genre of movie or TV program, such as "horse opera" (a Western).
