Story arc - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia One area of American television where story arcs have always thrived, however, is in the realm of the soap opera, and often episodic series have been derisively referred to as "soap operas" when they have adopted story arcs. Story arcs in contemporary drama (whatever the medium) often (but not always) follow the pattern of bringing a character to a low point, removing the structures the character depends on, then forcing the character to find new strength without those structures. Episodes not relevant to story arcs are sometimes dismissed as filler by fans, but might be referred to as self-contained or standalone episodes by producers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Story_arc   (981 words)
