Members P.J. Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Only picking one....Roger Thorpe's original death. It is the very definition of a classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Thanks to youtube many are available, but of the ones that aren't I would go for Eterna OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Of things I watched the first time around, definitely the Michael Cambias murder mystery and the following babyswitch from AMC. Of just general storylines, definitely the epic Susan/Dan/Liz/Paul quad on ATWT in the early 70s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 The entire story of Max & Gabrielle: 1987-1991, and 2001-2003. This is one of the ultimate examples of a love story that is NOT documented on YouTube in its entirety. Why? Because they're my favorite soap couple of all time, and there's a lot I haven't seen. Hell, I'd love to see everything of Gabrielle alone (or Max alone, for that matter). I'd actually be kind of interested in seeing all of Marty's story. Even though she was never my favorite character, what an interesting story progression she had. YES! Particularly because it concluded on the day I was born: February 28th, 1989, when everyone was rescued . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members yr9190 Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Fun Topic! I would set my time machine back to March 26, 1973, and just enjoy watching every single episode of Y&R till maybe sometime in the 2000's LOL. I would probably skip a few if i got a tad bored. Same with B&B, even though i prefer just to go to the date whenever Sally first appeared in 1989. I would even go back to July 5 1999 and enjoy watching the Original ORIGINAL first season episode of Passions. (meaning the ones without the tampered music they aired on Sci fi, and super channel) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Is this about stories we've seen before? I have a long list of things I haven't seen before but am still confused over the topic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted April 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 I intended for it to be about stories we've seen before but feel free to speak your mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 OK, I was just confused because everyone was listing stories they hadn't seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Well if it helps, there IS more stuff of Max/Gabby I have seen before that isn't on YouTube--there used to be a lot on the Fiona Fest website but it's defunct now .

Members juppiter Posted April 7, 2012 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 If I had to name a storyline I didn't see the majority of, I would say the Blackmailer on Passions. What I saw of it, I loved. I thought it was incredibly ballsy for daytime. But I saw very little of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AMCHistory Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 One particular storyline I would have loved to have watched, though much of it does not exist anymore, was the love triangle between Nick Davis, Anne Tyler, and Paul Martin that ran from 1971 to 1976. The story was so exquisitely planned by Agnes Nixon. Anne met Nick while living in NYC. Her mother Phoebe had always wanted Anne to date child hood acquaintance and all around good guy Paul. A now married Anne and Nick had a hard time conceiving, and Nick wanted another child after missing out on raising his son Phil. When they could not conceive, Anne divorced Nick and began dating her now divorce attorney Paul. When Anne learned she was pregnant with Nick's child, Nick learned he also impregnated Kitty Cole. Paul offered to marry Anne so that the child could have a father. Then, Anne and Kitty miscarried, and Anne began to question her lingering feelings for Nick. Nick and Anne rendezvoused in New York, the city they first met in, and Anne realized she loved Paul. On the way home, Nick and Anne got in an accident. Paul found Anne at the hospital in Nick's arms, and he got the wrong idea about what happened in New York. Distraught, Anne left the hospital and Pine Valley. Upon returning, Paul was now married to Margo. This time, Anne learned that she was pregnant with Paul's child. Like a few years before, Nick stepped up to the plate and offered to be the child's father. Alas, Paul and Anne found their way back to each other and married. And they lived happily ever after.... yeah, right. The back and forth, and undeniable chemistry Judith had with both actors (Larry Keith and Bill Mooney) made this drawn out love saga the perfect soap triangle. Among older AMC viewers, there is still the great debate as to whether Anne's greatest love was Paul or Nick. I liken to the conflict DAYS fans felt about John/Marlena/Roman (under Wayne Northop). It was so hard to choose a side because both relationships had so much depth and meaning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 The difference, though, was that Agnes Nixon didn't deliberately make either Nick or Paul look drab in order to settle things for viewers. To this day, I still hate DAYS for making Roman and Marlena seem like a pointless couple just because Drake was younger and sexier than Wayne.

Members quartermainefan Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 Eterna is just the most fun and I would bet anything that it holds up to repeated viewing more than serious stories and the fact it is so unrealistic makes it immune from feeling dated. I also would love to rewatch the entire story of Jaime, Elizabeth and Kate Sanders, and the two Bos. Youtube has a selection of the conclusion but there was a lot of Jaime and Elizabeth unaccounted for online. ' From AMC I would go for Ross raping Natalie and all that surrounded it.

Members teplin Posted April 7, 2012 Members Share Posted April 7, 2012 I'd want to watch the entire Mac-Rachel-Iris storyline on AW, up to the point Beverlee McKinsey left. Those three were magic together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
