What weird things they do on Soap Operas do you hate the most?

Permanent health conditions made temporary, like blindness and paralysis.

A character who is supposedly alcoholic seen casually drinking a glass of wine or champagne.

Rapid aging of the children.

Characters with full-grown, adult children still having babies (yes, Brooke Logan, I'm looking at you)

The ability for some characters to travel cross-country in about 15 minutes time.

Need I continue???

How ex-spouses never get over their former spouse, I'm not saying it does not happen, but not all the time.

Everybody was switched at birth or put up for adoption (more possible) and finding their long lost parents and siblings when grown. And often causing trouble (I've known several adopted people who found their birth mother or other family and never caused havoc, but most were not trying to get large inheritances) or they were born because of affairs and learn their uncle is their father or their aunt is their mother.

The constant switching of actors and actresses playing a role, on Y&R, Adam was played, literally by one actor one day, and another the next. Not even a break with somebody going on a trip (In Adam's case back to prison). And kids growing up fast, though not exclusive to Soaps, Little Ricky was the first on TV to go from infancy to school age in a year or less.

Everybody gets amnesia, I almost forgot that one.

I hate it when they don't follow any kind of proper age development of characters.... like when they have infants and they go away and show up 4 years old in a matter of 3 months... I understand they have to make an age 'skip' but it seems to be excessive alot of the time.... they also do it with regular characters.. on Days EJ dimera is the 'same' age as Sami but I remember when he was born.. it was after Sami had Will... so they should be at least 15 years apart..

When they take a toddler and send them to boarding school. They come back as a teenager or young adult. The mother still looks very young. They look like they shouldn't even have a kid that old yet. When a character disappears and never seen again without explanation. When certain couples keep going back and forth. One month they are with this person the next another.

Everyone is the love of everyone's life at some point. And I hate it when they always say "after everything we've been through..." I get it. You feel betrayed. Keep it in the present!!! And how so many people seem to have an endless suply of money even though they don't have a job and don't seem to have any reason why they have the money in the first place.

All the random children that were given up for adoption/stolen/switched/died during childbirth but are yet still alive.

The twin thing. Either through plastic surgery or a situation related to what I said previously.

They change spouses like I change my underwear.

Rapid aging of children. Priceless watching the "classic" Y&R's over the holidays from 10 years ago...Nicholas was 4...now he is how old?

But, I still can't stop watching the trainwrecks...

Half the people have money but you don't see them actually working. Like Ryan on AMC. Does he have a job?

Also people in serious condition, some never have the bed rails up and they either are in a coma forever or they are decked out in makeup the next day_

the only cleansing soap opera that I ever watched grew to become into Passions. although in Jr extreme I watched the final year of yet another worldwide. the two exhibits have been on the ridiculous area, i think of this is why I enjoyed them. The humorous factor is hobby's topic music grew to become into an exceptionally fairly ballad and made you think of "Oh grew to become right into a extreme high quality practice this ought to be" nicely no longer plenty. between conversing dolls and witches, you had drugged young infants having intercourse, toddlers, and greater witches. different halves disappearing then exhibiting up back yet as a various actress. I consistently discovered it humorous while the actors could replace from week to week or maybe huge-unfold. between the premiere characters Theresa she cried in fairly much each episode, and you'll be able to desire to fairly much grow to be a eating recreation. the main suitable factor approximately this practice is that throughout spite of the fact that that's relatively ridiculous and could no longer tear my eyes away while it grew to become into on. that's the variety of practice that if somebody who did no longer understand or understand the practice could walking interior the room and capture a scene they could think of your the loopy one! one in all factor I each so often with the aid of college or artwork could no longer capture the practice and it would desire to be days earlier i might desire to observe yet another episode... you'll be able to desire to capture decrease back on with in minutes! magnificent!

The SORAS for one. You have a baby born on screen, and in just months later, they are in high school or college. The Mate swapping, especially between relatives.

Baby switching, amnesia, "Who's the father" kidnapping & people faking their deaths!
