Daytime soaps are based on real life.
IDK -- the ones we used to watch at Uni seemed like they were based mostly on other daytime soaps...
This is an expertly-prosecuted trial so far, IMO. Clear thread of evidence both direct and indirect, that goes to method and motive, and a PF sitting there like a pinned insect (though without said insect's finer features) barely watching as they work. He and Chris Watts might have signed up for the How to Kill and Get Caught correspondence course. Poor KB.
