Oh no Dev's been lying.

Yes, I confess I watch soaps. All of them! I find them fascinating. But real life's not like that you say. It is and it isn't. Recently in Corrie, Dev, married to Sunita she being pregnant with twins was found to have a stash of kids all over the place. Sunita is dev..estated, no pun intended. Real life is like that, people do cheat on others and lie. Many people have secret children and even families in different locations. But soaps do what most other TV doesn't do.
All eventually gets outed. When someone in a soap does something in secret, it always and I mean always gets exposed. People never get away with anything in soapland. All is revealed.
And it shows the terrible consequences of their actions. Lives come crashing down.
But the only problem is they keep repeating their mistakes, they never learn. And there is no remedy, no matter how hard they try it happens time and time again.
That's where I despair of soapland. All the problems are aired but no one can help, except "let's have a nice cup of tea." At least in the real world Jesus can heal, forgive and do something fantastic with broken lives. What do you like/hate about soaps? Should a Christian watch soaps?
