Soaps

[howeird]

I am testing an online program guide, and saw this listing for a soap opera this morning:

Kendall admits that she loves Zach; Zach and Kendall are optimistic about their future; Ryan destroys the adoption papers; Greg accuses Dixie of trying to poison him; Krystal opposes Babe's plan to have another baby with J.R.; Lily becomes overwhelmed

Yeah, Lily, I see why you might be...

My paternal grandma used to watch soaps--interesting in such a very cerebral woman. When I came toward her last years to help her with her mail, etc., they'd be on in the background. They were mind-boggling!

Soaps may have stupid dialog and cookie cutter characters, but it takes a supercomputer to keep track of the multiple plots running in parallel, who's doing what to whom (and why), and which plots intesect and which do not. Kind of like real life, but with lousy organ music in the background.

Sounds like my life, lots of drama and organs.

Lily is a big drama queen, as if any of this has to do with her! Sheesh!

It's all about Lily.

I think she has become egotistical ever since she had the affair with Trevor but then her husband found out about the affair and hired the hit man.

Remember the boating accident that almost destroyed her modeling career?

No, no, that was her long-lost twin sister, don't you remember?

Trevor was her twin sister?!

No shit! I must have missed that week.

That would explain Lily's hospitalization and her encounter with Eunice who was being blackmailed by Philip because of the undisclosed mystery letter that was being kept in Candice's safety deposit box.

The one who was left for dead after the yacht-by shooting?

Fortunately she washed ashore and was nursed back to health by a hunter gather tribe, who fortunately had a member who was trained in the latest medical advances by a visiting missonary.

[howeird]

He was also trained in mouth-to-mouth, and when Lily's sister awoke, she knew she would be the mother of his love child.

Because, it was later revealed, that he was Trevor's twin brother Maurice, who quit med school because he was feeling overwhelmed.

You know the screenwriters would steal all that in a heartbeat.
