[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 83311, member: 8"] The thing with happy endings is that there can be an instant and temporary feeling of satisfaction, but (speaking for myself of course) these endings usually don't linger. I'm not saying that everything has to be godawful depressing, but a perfect happy ending feels so definitive. And because a soap is a continuing story, it looks more natural to [I]stop[/I] continuing that story, rather than [I]ending[/I] it with a fixed ending. And [I]when[/I] that happens isn't so important, I think. I was competely devastated when Dynasty ended with that magnificent cliffhanger - and I wanted an explanation. Well, I got it, but curiosity killed the cat - I didn't like that sugary "happily ever after" at all. [/QUOTE]
