Television provides an open storytelling framework. Here's how
the Character Map works in either a sit-com or a one-hour drama format.

Completing the Process in a One Hour Drama:
In a one-hour drama series, the character makes the Leap of Faith over and over as the stakes rise and the risks increase.
The character deals with the same value questions over and over on successively more difficult and more intensely personal levels. After one story arc is completed the character begins another trip around the Character Map.
Each journey and every Leap of Faith requires greater courage and requires the character to face ever deeper manifestations of his or her Fear. Likewise, each trip to the Dark Side is a successively greater fall from grace.
