Five Reasons to Watch Online Soaps

Online, November 24, 2013 (Newswire.com) - The ability to watch videos on the Internet is changing viewing habits and has led to soap dramas more suited to the fast paced on-demand world of today. So what are the reasons why online soaps are worth watching?

1. Short
In general, online soaps fit into less than five minutes, the time many spend trapped on the underground or on the back of a bus. Insufficient time therefore is no longer an excuse for not watching.

2. Pace
Short episodes means the pace of online soaps is much faster with dramatic changes in almost every scene making them hard to put down.

3. Gripping
Storylines that involve interesting characters are essential to hook viewers quickly yet intriguing enough to get them coming back again and again.

4. Easy
Online videos can be watched on-demand as well as viewed across a range of devices such as mobile phones, tablets and even TV. Access to your favourite soap therefore has never been easier.

5. Big
It is early days for online soaps and if they prove to be as successful as traditional soaps then we could be seeing more tailored productions making this new format the start of something big and we all know how nice it is to be in at the start of something big.

For those that have not yet experienced online soaps then there is an opportunity, as the UK drama Today & Tomorrow, the soap first shown on ITV Local.com Yorkshire's website, is being released as a blog (http://todayandtomorrowonline.blogspot.co.uk/), with new episodes posted every other day starting 1 December.

Are these good reasons to watch online soaps? Well, you'll have to judge for yourself.
