HELSINKI (Reuters) - A new television show that debuted over the Christmas holiday season is turning Finnish viewers into soap opera scriptwriters -- through the power of text messaging.

Text messages have appeared on television before but "Sydan kierroksella" (Heart Goes Round) is the first show to let viewers determine the course of the story: the unlikely love affair of teen idol Roope and Juulia, a woman in her 60s.
