I imagine they're much the same as American soap operas. I think the trick is to pick one and stick with it. I actually was sorta getting into Days of Our Lives a little while ago. The biggest problem is getting through that first episode. You have no idea what's going on, so all you see is the bad acting, silly dialogue, and general air of ludicrousness. Get to the second episode, and all of a sudden you start to get invested in it.

Edit: Oh and I just realized. Is it just me or do the guys standing next to Nick in this pic look like they're thinking, "Dude, did he just fart?" and Nick's thinking, "I just farted and they'll never know".
