I disagree! This show would be off the air it is was just a 'feel good' show. The entire purpose of a soap opera/show is to captivate/enthrall the audience!!! Name one show that does not have negative characters or situations that has survived on television, unless it's a comedy!?! It seems like everyone wants a typical love story (boy meets girl, boy hates girl, girl hates boy, then boy falls for girl, and so one). Some of us actually want to see a love story, but we still want to see excitement/drama/adventure, along with that.
Negative characters keep many of us glued to our tv sets waiting to see what happens next. The people in this forum are mostly women who have probably dreamt of their very own Prince charming as I had in my pre-teen years (if you're under 25 then it's probably Edward Cullen). Fairytales are great, but some of us forget that even those have evil stepmothers or a big bad wolf! Without them, the story would have no validity and would bore most people senseless!!!
At least it would for me...
