Members Mason Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 I think so. Hell, look at any sweeps event from the last few years on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mason Posted January 30, 2007 Members Share Posted January 30, 2007 Seriously. If GH can get away with all the stuff they've done in the last 5 years, I don't see why all the other soaps couldn't do something like the Coronation Massacre again.

Members jcar03 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Yeah, GH had the mob shootout thing after 9/11, the hostage situation is this sweeps event and that involves gun fire and an explosion and last year AMC had the Mardi Gras explosion.

Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Sure they can. GH does it all the time. Passions has females undergoing extreme amounts of violence too. I don't see why they can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RionPassions Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 But rape is a lot different from a bloody gunfire massacre. For example, no one died on Passions from rape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members PhoenixRising05 Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 True. My point is if stuff like that can be done and shown and if GH can have mob shootouts all the time, then I don't see why soaps can keep this type of storytelling up.

Members RionPassions Posted January 31, 2007 Author Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 Hmm..I never really watched the violent GH stuff, but I still think the coronation massacre is the most violent thing Days ever did. Even during the Stalker storyline, the murders were relatively tame...sure, Cassie in the pinata was shocking, but we didn't see her actual "death". So yeah, the coronation massacre is still Days' most violent and disturbing moment of all time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 31, 2007 Members Share Posted January 31, 2007 But rape ellicits a much stronger viewer reaction than someone getting shot or dying. When it comes down to shoot-outs and stuff, it's not about the violence of it, it's the amount. That's why GH gets flack, they seem to have a mob war every 3 months. Passions is having a rape every other day. It's overkill. Random acts of violence play much better than continuous violence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
