Summary/Abstract: The analysis raises several questions in relation to soap operas. What positions do readers, viewers, or listeners identify with, given that they are already socially conditioned men and women? What positions are available for the female (and male) audience? The answers to these questions are linked to broader gender divisions which soap operas both question and develop as a source of pleasure.
