If we are to petition for anything, it's for a time limit to be imposed on how long these soaps run. One year to 18 months max. It's when they drag it, that the problems start. They can follow a very simple formula. Boy hates girl, they're forced to get married, they fall madly in love, they don't want to admit their feelings, wife tries to sacrifice marriage for husband's sake, husband finds out, they reunite, have a kid, live happily ever after. THE END.
If they had to follow this formula, KYM would probably be drawing to an end but it would have remained a sweet love story untarnished by any of the asinine stuff we are being subjected to now.
However BT formula is the ffg : Boy hates girl, they're forced to get married, they fall madly in love, they don't want to admit feelings, wife tries to sacrifice marriage for husband's sake, husband finds out, they reunite, sacrifice again, split again, reunite again, have a kid, sacrifice again, split again, reunite again, have another kid, sacrifice again, leap, revenge track, reunite again, more misunderstandings, a generation leap, maybe will reunite, children will create havoc, geriatic parents still can't get their act together, another split, grandchildren, blah, blah,blah, blah ......... they all live miserably ever after. And the suffering of the viewers never come to an end
