Daily Soap Discussions : Why should looks matter?

I have been wanting to speak on this issue...and i am glad i found this space to say it...

I am amazed that how on so many discussions, regarding a track/character of a show, gets skewed/diluted on he looks and not the character he/she plays.

How a bad guy gets his actions justified or his fans hope that the character will reform just because he looks good.

From krishna's loafer act in beginning of the show "pratigya"...to kabir in the most recent "chall sheh aur maat".

These are some of the many instances that come to my mind...

Its perfectly all right to like a hero for his looks, but shouldn't it be kept aside to discuss a show?

well the shows are so empty and mind numbingly stupid , need to have something to like.

Eye candy works everyone. From soaps to real life to everywhere...

'Its perfectly all right to like a hero for his looks, but shouldn't it be kept aside to discuss a show?'

its not a philosophical topic on how humans are shallow and looks paralyze human thinking.

Shall we stick to discussions on daily soaps ?


@paradisemb,
thanks for taking this post seriously and agree with ur views.

coming to topic myself,

after indian cricket team's complete failure in australia, i was criticizing a popular player on twitter.

I got a less than satisfactory "cricketing" retort from a member.

I replied and got another such reply.

This time i decided to check out the member's profile and found out that she was a hardcore fan of his looks.

The moment i said "do u like him for his looks..." her guard dropped and she said "i just love him and didn't like u blaming him alone."

well i wouldn't call her shallow...but...

To a certain extent, it is fine to focus on looks. Everyone enjoys good looking stars. But plot, story, acting, etc also do matter in a show. I think the television shows these days tend to be catered to a younger more immature audience that is more fixated on looks and hot couples rather than substance or character. They are young, don't know better and focus on shallow obsessions. Hopefully, when they get older most will realize how silly these obsessions are and think of more important things.

Voldermoth? Typo or intentional misspell of Voldemort

It's a type of moth, genius.

the thing is that looks shudnt matter people shud concentrate on the way the actor protrays a character but they dnt always do that.

me i think good looking actors in soaps = awesome ratings

from the pov of the directors etc

Let's be honest here...
