I mean, soap operas themselves are not great, with overacting and that weird look they all have.
That said, you gotta respect how long some of them have gone on. And how long some actors have done those roles. And I just say “that one Victor guy” and you know exactly who I mean. One of the most legendary villains on TV.
My favourite soap opera is Revenge… arguably, it really isn’t one, but it’s designed to look like one, and that’s good enough for me to call it one. It’s also just barely loosely based on The Count of Monte Cristo. Amanda Clarke is one of my favourite TV characters of all time, too. Absolutely loved her character. And “that one Victor guy”? I’d say Revenge’s lead villain('s husband) is somewhat inspired by him. They’re both grey wolves in suits.
I think his point isn’t that the shows are great but that the actors are in a show that airs five hours a week, and there isn’t really anywhere else in tv to get that amount of time working and developing your skills anymore.
