Anticipated Ending of a Soap

The cast was considered too brave for an afternoon soap (AS), but the network believed the singer and the two hunks could pull off the project. At the start, there was too much interest  because Hunk 1 (H1) is so fresh from the overwhelming success of his last soap. Second, Hunk 2 (H2) who was missed by fans is finally in a project. Third, the singer (TS) was exploring other avenues to help sustain her exposure and fame. Of course, the promo plugs were catchy (with the hunks showing off their abs) and interesting as well.

A few months into the airing, it seems that advertisers were not too keen on AS. Although the actors did their best, TS had a hard time projecting the right emotions. In other words, TS was not too great in the acting department, and did not register well on screen. Chemistry among the leads was amiss, too.

AS was then moved to another timeslot to give way to another soap. Immediately, the ratings dropped, which surprised everyone. Currently, AS is swinging from one- to two-digit ratings. Meanwhile, there are talks that a new soap, which was originally meant for primetime, might replace AS soon. Will TS be given another acting project or should the network enrol her first in more workshops to hone her talent further before giving her another?

“The talent of success is nothing more than doing what you can do well, and doing well whatever you do without thought of fame. If it comes at all it will come because it is deserved, not because it is sought after.” - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
