    The truth about soaps
    The original soaps were radio programmes. They first appeared on the
    radio, in the USA, in the 1930s. People called them soaps because in the middle of
    each programme, there were advertisements for soap powder.
    There are three things in every successful TV soap. Firstly, there is a place.
    This is for example a street, a hotel, a pub, or a family home. Secondly, there are
    the main characters, usually from two or three families. They are like people in real
    life a jealous boyfriend or girlfriend, the difficult teenager and the wise
    grandmother. Thirdly, there are two or three stories all at the same time. They are
    often very emotional and dramatic. Finally, much modern soaps are about similar
    things. These include family relationships, money, love, friendship, illness,
    unemployment and difficulties at school or work.
    The latest type of soap to appear on our screens is reality TV. There are no
    actors in reality TV. Instead, the characters are real people in real situations.
