The Open Page article, “The willing suspension of disbelief” (July 23), has rightly taken a dig at the never-ending soap trail that has proliferated across South Indian TV channels and created thousands of couch potatoes. In most cases these soaps make little sense and are handicapped by poor scripts and the lacklustre performances of the cast. Another point is that there are definitely no scruples as far as morals and devious thinking are concerned. It would be no exaggeration to say that these listless soaps have no favourable impact on audiences and are hardly entertaining.
