Answer by  soapjunkie (581)

Format for a one-hour soap opera is a total of 22 minutes of show content that is divided into six acts with two-minute commercial breaks in between and two-minute segments for opening and closing credits. In general, one page of script dialogue equals one minute of airtime.

The length of the scrip would be determined by how long you want the soap opera to be. Some are a half an hour, others are longer. Focus on character and plot development and then determine how long you can write for.
