Line 8:
By starting a new story about half way through another, there is a constant rotation of new plots. The drama keeps flowing, and these people never receive a moment's rest. This is the [[Soap Wheel]], the time-tested way to turn [[Loads and Loads of Characters]] into a nonstop cavalcade of drama.
For a similar trope that happens in a single episode of a series, see [[Two Lines, No Waiting]]. For the "episodic" version of this trope, see [[Four Lines, All Waiting]].
{{examples
* ''[[Eastenders]]'' was an early pioneer of this format and still uses it today.
* ''[[Coronation Street]]'': Another long running British soap.
