By starting a new story about half way through another, there is a constant rotation of new plots. The drama keeps flowing, and these people never receive a moment's rest. This is the SoapWheel, the time-tested way to turn LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters into a nonstop cavalcade of drama.

Adding example: Undressed.
Added DiffLines:
* MTV's ''Series/{{Undressed}}'' did this in a firmly delineated manner. There were always three storylines: high schoolers, college students, and adults in their twenties. Each season was self-contained, consisting of several dozen episodes, and especially in later seasons all stories across age groups were in continuity with each other. Stories were of different durations, with starts and ends staggered, apart from all stories starting in the first episode and all stories ending in the final episode of the season. When a story would end, a new story would start in the same age group, often by shifting focus to a minor character featured in a previous story.

* RumorsOfWar is a [[WebComics web comic]] that makes use of a variant of the SoapWheel (by combining [[RotatingProtagonist Rotating Protagonists]] with [[TimeSkip Time Skips]]) to create a Cast-Go-Round. The plot keeps the moving even though tons of significant action takes place off-screen. Even the characters are left but to comment on what's happened and prepare for the next.

Plot A -- one of the teenagers is pregnant. Halfway through this StoryArc, Plot B will kick in - someone has amnesia. By the time Plot A is finished and the teenager has undergone a heartwarming transformation, the main character in Plot B is in a hospital bed and has just remembered that his wife was the one who tried to kill him. Then in another part of the cast, a long-running character's never-before-seen daughter has started taking drugs - Plot C starts. When their parents find out, Plot B's wife is in jail and he is happily settled in his new life. Meanwhile Plot A's baby is now a toddler due to SoapOperaRapidAgingSyndrome, and is being stalked by her real father and the mother is going slowly mad.
