Abstract
‘Soap opera’ is a popular television genre that ‘invites the audience to … identify with characters' (Livingstone, 1990). Storylines tend to be shaped by national and local culture, although they may feature a disproportionate number of unstable relationships and tragedies (Liebes & Livingstone, 1998). Narratives evolve continually, allowing scriptwriters to incite viewer debate on myriad topical social issues, including mental illness (Reveley, 1997).
