Both telenovelas and U.S. soap operas are serialized dramas with melodramatic storylines, but telenovelas are typically shorter in length with a clear beginning, middle, and end, while soap operas can run indefinitely with ongoing story arcs. Telenovelas tend to have a definitive conclusion, focusing on a central storyline, while soap operas often have multiple storylines running concurrently and a more open-ended structure.
