I also grouped the younger performer wins in with actress or actor.

Watching early 2000s All My Children, I think Jamie got the short end of the stick in favor of JR, and Jamie was just as much of a legacy character as him.

Does anyone know what scenes Tony Geary won lead actor for in 2000?

I feel that way watching 90s Todd knowing they’re going to turn him into a leading man after he was the ring leader of Marty’s gang rape, was revealed to have raped a woman prior to Marty, and would terrorize and try to rape multiple women after Marty. It was too much.

He could tell them apart. He killed Georgie because she would’ve seen him and known he was alive when she came in Maxie’s place. I agree that writers had no clue who the killer was from the start.

Watching episodes of soaps from the 80s and 90s, I’m struck by how common it was to have male characters slap female characters, and these usually weren’t characters who were supposed to be villains. Like Roger on GL slapped Alex back after she slapped him, but he was a rapist so that’s not shocking, but that same show had Billy Lewis returning Reva’s slap and slapping his daughter. A character like Lucas on Days was I think supposed to be more rootable and he had to be held back by Austin from hitting Sami after she slapped him and straight up slapped his mother without any provocation from her. I was watching a 90s episode of OLTL and Jason, who seemed like a good guy, slapped Dorian back after she slapped him. I guess this did still occur occasionally in the 2000s like when Alan slapped Sonny’s girlfriend Reese, but it seemed really prominent before then.

Their explanation for Diego killing Georgie was that Maxie was his intended target and Georgie came in her place.

What exactly was the story with Antonio, Liz, Keri, and baby Jamie? Keri thought she was somehow carrying Liz’s baby with Anonio but then learned it was really her baby? Why did she think she was carrying her mother’s baby?

Also I don’t think the writers should’ve ever made Todd a leading man after how far they went with the character. He was the ring leader in Marty’s gang rape, raped a woman before Marty, and tried to rape multiple women after Marty.

Thank you. From the comments on the episodes I’m watching, it seems like many did not enjoy Sloan being an interloper for Viki and Clint. I wish Jason could’ve returned for a visit after he left because Marty could’ve used more support.

What happened to the characters of Jason Webb and Sloan Carpenter?

Watching 90s OLTL, and I see that Dorian always liked them younger since she was dating this Jason Webb guy. Also crazy how they used to have non villainous men slap women back because Dorian slapped Jason and he returned the favor. I did really like Jason and Marty’s friendship since we rarely get completely platonic friendships between men and women.

Thanks. Never heard of her character before.

Who did Erica slap at 6:45? https://youtu.be/LsCS7woGxjo?si=2fgQtE3X9JWwffeg

Is that Cassie slapping her mother at 3:01? https://youtu.be/LsCS7woGxjo?si=TgNE_V1HwKEGNAUb

Don’t know if this is the right thread but has anyone ever bought episodes of OLTL or AMC online?

I ended up finding it. It's from October 18th, 1995.

Does anyone know the rough date of the clip of Dorian slapping Blair at 14 seconds?

I’m planning to do a compilation of Nora’s slaps and punches. Does anyone have examples? I know of her slaps in the 2010s and her slapping RJ in the 90s. Don’t know if she ever slapped Bo.

I always thought Natalie was the good sister to Janet’s crazy but reading some recaps, Natalie did her fair share of crazy things.

Thank you

Other than GH, I can’t find recaps for other soaps prior to 1995/1996.

Were fans happy with the endgame couples?

Yes, this is the scene https://youtu.be/H7xWxoYNUVI

It’s a bit jarring how often men would slap women in the 80s and 90s. Roger slapped Holly and Alex back and slapped his daughter. Billy slapped Reva back and slapped his daughter. OLTL did an implied oral sex scene with Dorian and David, but it was played comedically.
