There are so many I'm sure we can name more than ten!! Sound off with your reason why and get that frustration off your chest! I hope some soap people google threads and see this, writers on almost all shows need a wake up call because they are the reason soaps are in a fragile state.</P> <P>My latest pet peeve is violence and commiting crimes. The violence is becoming too casual and routine, yet each incident shown would result in charges in real life. Soaps shouldn't portray violence without consequences.</P> <P>Hard on the heels of that is characters commiting crimes and not paying for them. Writers, stop twisting yourselves in knots figuring out ways to keep characters out of prison or get them out of prison after a short period of time. Crime is also serious and shouldn't be trivialized.</P> Mon, 04 Apr 2011 18:47:34 GMT DCpeach 2011-04-04T18:47:34Z https://community.qvc.com/t5/Community-Chat/Top-Ten-or-more-Overused-Soap-Plots/m-p/65024#M37566 <P>What plots have brain-dead writers done to death and you don't want to see again??
