Maybe 'Soap-Opera' is the wrong term for comparison. Personally I think we just all got sucked into the 'Cliffhanger' effect. Where we just got to know what happens in the next episode. Even though each episode is not directly linked like a true cliffhanger, our love for the characters gives it the same feeling.
hmmm, "Just one more episode,.."
"Just one more turn,.." hmmm it looks like some of us carry our SE addiction into other realms of entertainment.
Cheers!
