[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 198295, member: 8"] Do the soap stories play in real-time? Does the season always start with autumn episodes? That doesn't make sense when the new season continues from the season finale episode shown in spring. There is no sense of time in soaps, the story (per season) can be told in a 2 weeks or 6 months time frame, and that makes all those festive days irrelevant. Actually I think they're somewhat annoying, although one single Christmas episode in the show's entire run doesn't hurt, I guess. It is possible to show different seasons in order to create a time jump, but that rarely works in soap operas. [/QUOTE]
