Soap opera embracing script's cordiality (15)
I believe the answer is:
neighbourliness
'cordiality' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'soap opera embracing script's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'script' could be 'lines' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'lines' is found in the answer.
'soap' could be 'neighbours' (Australian soap opera) and 'neighbours' is located in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for neighbourliness that I've seen before include "good for exchanges with fellow countrymen" , "cordiality" .)
