A paragraph talking on soaps indicates that they uses " melodramatic and sentimentental treatment".
What I am concerned about is the meaning of treatment, and I hope you could detail its meaning.
P.S.
I have checked it up in my dictionary, but it seems that either won't fit here.
"Treatment" there seems to mean a written sketch or script or, at least, the manner in which events are portrayed. Both are valid uses of the word, but the sentence would have to be carefully constructed to be clear.
treat·ment (trēt'mənt)
