Most soaps fall under two categories, Loads and Loads of Characters and Long Runners. Over this long period they have perfected the method of keeping the stories moving and the characters changing: The A B C plot wheel. By starting a new story about half way through another, there is a constant rotation of new plots. The drama keeps flowing, and these people never receive a moment's rest. This is the Soap Wheel, the time-tested way to turn Loads and Loads of Characters into a nonstop cavalcade of drama.
