[edit] Criteria for articles

A soap opera article should include:

• The name, in bold
• The show's first airdate (and, if applicable, the final airdate)
• Network affiliation
• A summary of the first storylines on the show
• A brief run-through of storylines since
• The current state of story on the show
• Notable cast members who went on to become stars, or who were already stars when they started on said soap opera
• If applicable (which it almost always is), its impact on society

If there is anything that needs to be added, edit this page and bring it to my attention on my talk page.

[edit] Progress

Right now, most, if not all, soap opera articles have been created.

To see the current soap opera articles, go to Category:Soap operas.

Soap Opera characters are found in Category:Soap opera characters and subcategories. Stub articles about characters have been tagged with {{Soap-char-stub}} and appear in Category:Soap opera character stubs; there are presently 35 articles in this category.
