And the reason I said that is that this quote is from Agnes Nixon, one of the most famous writers in daytime soap operas (a TV form I happen to be extremely fond of, for the record) and it was her philosophy on those shows. And much as i do love my soaps? Doctor Who would never and could never work with that aesthetic - because it just isn't one. So I don't think that's actually a very good aesthetic for Who to work under.
Dr Who is not a soap opera, though...
