Are there any series of books, or publications, which operate like a TV soap opera? That is, they're released regularly, feature mostly the same characters from episode to episode, and continue for many years. There have been series of books over the years, but the ones I can think of are irregular and always had the same characters, with no real plot or character development as in many TV series.
Hmmm...the Doc Savage novels had the same characters, but was regular and the characters changed. ('33-'49) (reprinted '64-'92)
The Star Trek series have many of the same characters, some come and go, most have changed in some respects. It's irregular though.
For kids..."Sweet Valley High" or "The Babysitters Club" series had continuing characters, and were released regularly.
I haven't read a Perry Rhodan in years, but does that series fit what you're looking for?
