On The Young & the Restless, Victor is out of prison.
Well, that was a stressful ten minutes. OK, fine, it was a couple of weeks…
months, tops. Definitely not the decade-long sentence he was originally saddled
with.
We all know that, in the real world, justice is rarely blind
– or fair. Some people get the book thrown at them, while others escape with a
slap on the wrist for the same crime. In the real world, your race, gender,
religion, and socio-economic class play a big part in how Lady Justice feels
like treating you. This would be true on soaps, too, if there were enough
racial and/or religious diversity to accumulate multiple data points. As for
social-class, when even the so-called “poor people” can jet off to Europe at a
moment’s notice, one starts to suspect “I do not think (that word) means what
you think it means.”
Still, different people do get treated differently when it
comes to crime and time-served. Check out the most grievous examples from the
four soap-operas still left on the air at Entertainment Weekly!
