Workplace or soap opera? (Part 1)
Anyone who watches soap operas (Coronation Street is my favourite), shows like Desperate Housewives or reality television knows that gossip is a great way to drive a fictional plot forward. In fact, without gossip, TV would be a wasteland of talk shows, game shows, sports, documentaries and news. (And I don't mean celebrity news!) Heck, without gossip, our lives would probably be far less interestinguntil we found something else to talk about.
