60 all-time greatest soap moments-TV Guide

Logan seems to have mixed views on rape (he agreed with those who defended GH turning Jax's rape into a hahafest), so that may explain the placement.

The PC vampire story was a shock value moment, and attached to a soap (GH, since they brought that crap over this year) he is always a big fan of, so that would probably explain it. I do think the initial moment was good, before Michael Easton stopped caring (after about three months), but I wouldn't have put it on the list.

On AMC in the early or mid 70s, Margo Flax had a facelift, as the actress (Eileen Lechtworth) had one in real life. I don't think we saw her in surgery, as we did with Katherine, but they showed her afterward.

I do think Katherine's was a bigger moment in soap history, but not something I'd have put on the list for Katherine.

I agree that more P&G should have been there. It seems like it's a list of shock value as much as actual quality. Stuff like Vincent is what caused viewers to flee soaps.

I don't find Ridge's paternity a particularly engaging or memorable moment. It just got a shoulder shrug from me. It's not like it was discovered that Ridge had Spectra roots or something...the Marrone's weren't a huge deal. Had Massimo been on the show for 4 or 5 years or at the beginning like Bill Spencer or early on like Sally Spectra, it might have had more impact. As the story played out, it didn't seem particularly stand-out from where I was watching.

I think I saw a little over half of these in real time. Some I agree with, some not. Too much Reilly for me, except the one from him I actually liked---Vivian burying Carly alive! I was pleasantly surprised to see Doug eloping with Addie on the list. Don't hear that one referenced very often.

1.Luke & Laura's wedding-GH 1981 (Laiman/Racina)

59. Luke rapes Laura-GH 1979 (Marland)

This just proves to me what a hack writer Laiman really is/was...marry your rapist...ugh...even though the ratings were the highest for any soap.
