Soap opera parody

    A soap opera is a long-running television serial, featuring tons of melodrama and sentimentality. The plots typically rely on emotional turmoil, romance, family feuds, betrayals, and secret identities. The term soap opera stems from the 1930s when daytime radio serials were sponsored by soap and detergent manufacturers.

  The 1st Bachillerato students have parodied this genre by creating their own versions. Click on the pictures below to watch a couple of them:

Who's the father? 

Alberto Cándano, Jorge Macías, Nuria Montoya, Avril Ruano and Daniela Vázquez.

The Three Wishes

Alfonso Fernández, Enol García, Lucía Palomares, Sara Prada and Juan Suárez.
