What soap moment did you cry the hardest during?

For me it was when Cassie died on Y&R. At that time I wasn't reading spoilers and didn't know much about the comings and goings on Y&R so i had do idea she was actually going to die. The scenes were done so well and it was so sad. Amazing work by all the actors/actresses involved.

I wasn't crying that hard at first but someone came into my room and saw me. (I was still living at home at the time) My brother started laughing at me and called everyone upstairs to look at me. I was trying to stop and it just made it worse and I started to full fledge cry out of control. I still get teased about it today when I visit my family and I watch soapnet while I am there they start yelling at me to not cry.

The biggest cry comes probably whenever I watch DJ's death (DAYS). Or her reaction after the rape.

- Marlena's "death" in 1987.

- The Pier Reunion.

- Alexis walking into the house for the first time after seeing Ric and Sam having sex. Nancy Lee Grahn is just phenomenal.

I cry all the time, LOL.

I cried and cried and cried when Megan Harrison died on OLTL. I taped that whole week on my VCR, and I would rewatch that scene over and over in the months that followed. There was this lovely music playing, and Jake was holding Megan as they looked out the window at their tree (which he had brought over to the hospital courtyard). I remember that he was talking to her, and suddenly her head fell over, but he kept talking. And then you saw her hand go limp, and the paper heart (or something) fell out of it. Talk about sobbing!

I also cried when Marty Saybrooke was raped by three different men, and no one could hear her cry.

I cried when Jen Rappaport was smothered by Daniel Colson as her letter to Riley was read over the action.

Erika Slezak has made me cry many times! I cried so hard when Viki met Tess on the docks, one of the most powerful scenes in recent memory.

I cried when Tess said goodbye to Nash.

I cried when Todd and Blair made love on August 25th, 2006.

Cassie's death was and still is hard to watch. I get choked up. I was so hoping she was going to pull through and that is what sent me on a search for spoilers and how I found message boards. I was devestated.

I cried recently when Dixie died. I am still trying to figure out why I was a basket case. I liked Dixie but by no means loved her. I think it was the flashbacks and You are my sunshine. Other than that, it has just been moments that choke me up, not really bringing me to tears.

Y&R

Cassie's Death Hands Down was brutal for me. Mostly because she was a little child, who I watched grow up on screen that was HARD.

Moments during John Abbott's death.

When John Abbott went to jail. THAT was sad.

Ryan's death

there's more but these wil do...

The last death I cried over was Ada's on Another World.

I teared up a little at Lila's on GH.

None at Phoebe's on AMC because they played it off more comedy for me.

The day of Hal's memorial moved me on ATWT.

As to other deaths of characters none of them have moved me to tears in years. I know that even with Zach on Days or any of them the deaths will be undone by someone down the road.

The last time I have really cried was the day that Another World went off the air.

And this comes from someone who cries really easy. Little House on the Prairie gets me every time I watch it.

Soaps just don't move me with deaths anymore. I think the last character that died (and the actor didn't) that I actually cried was DJ's death on Days. It may have been a few after that but he is the last one I really remember.

I cried when Lauren and Maggie kidnapped Sheila and kept her in Psycho House then taunted her with holograms to drive her insane.

I also cried when Sheila tried to kill herself by jumping off the roof after she realised James had married her to get Mary.

I had tears in my eyes when Sheila saw that she shot Taylor by accident, and looked horrified.

I cried when Ryan and kEITH Dennison conspired to section Tricia.

I cried on ATWT when Julia miscarried Jack's baby alone in their living room after months of being hounded by Carly's verbal abuse.

I cried when Skye found out she wasnt a Chandler and was raging at Adam and Rae.

Fiona Hutchison's performance as Gabrielle on One Life when she found out her boy Al was dead.

DAYS----Isabella's death. But even more than the death itself was when she left the loft for the last time. She walked around, touching things, just looking sad, and you knew she was saying good-bye to her life there. Also, when Bo and Hope lost JT--I think I went through a half box of tissues. And Zach's death, of course.

Only time I've ever cried over a soap is when Laura faded about two months ago.

I did get really sad when Barbara told Jennifer how she had lost Johnny, back when Jenn was first told her baby had died.

Soap deaths don't move me. I'm too busy nitpicking at what the people are wearing, whose tears look fake, who looks ugly when they cry and such...

    • Eeek. I didn't know this either! I will say, though, even though they skimmed over a lot of Roger's past, I will give them props for not trying to turn him into a hero. Yeah, I was hoping we would get more 1986 episodes than were available on YT before, but now I'm wondering if I really want to see that. 
    • That's what Julie Hanan Carruthers is doing for BTG at the new studio in Atlanta, but JHC is credited. And @errol said JHC is working in a nonproduction capacity at Y&R.
    • I remember when the whole Missy Reeves controversy started in 2012.  She tweeted support of a business that had made homophobic statements. Greg Rikaart (who was on Y&R back then) publicly called her out on it, but was willing to reach out and speak with her. Article here: https://greginhollywood.com/greg-rikaart-talks-about-his-twitter-war-with-fellow-soap-star-melissa-reeves-over-anti-gay-chick-fil-a-73139 That being said, ten years later, on DAYS, in 2022, when they had they double wedding of Leo/CraigWesley and Gwen/Xander, Jack and Jennifer came to the wedding.  At that time, Missy Reeves was only intermittently available for DAYS. Jennifer was living "in Boston" and Cady McClain and Missy were each intermittently appearing as Jennifer, on the specific occasions when the show required a Jennifer to appear. Missy wasn't on contract and she could have said no. But she chose to appear as Jennifer for the gay wedding of Greg Rikaart's character.   So... I mean... I would assume they reached a détente behind-the-scenes. Missy still has her belief system but there's that.
    • That was one of the best grandslam finals.  Alcaraz comes all the way back down 2 sets to 0, and three match points in the 3rd set, to win it in a 5th set tie-break.  And the quality of play was excellent - so many great shots.  What a battle!
    • Indeed. I may try to watch it in full sometime, but not anytime soon... Mark played Sean Baxter for a few episodes when Courtney married Andy. Burke was either on Broadway or at OLTL at that time, I suppose.
    • Well, Josh was a horndog. LOL Yep. It was one of the first really weird things Reva did with her PPD. She became obsessed with the idea that Dylan and Sam should get married. Sam was only 17, and needed her parent's permission. Reva helped them leave town so they could go to a neighboring state where Sam was old enough. Ross, Billy and Josh stopped them, then Sam went to India to try and persaude Justin. Reva followed her and didn't tell Josh she was going. While Reva was gone, Josh advertised for nannies, and Harley applied. He ended up hiring someone else. But when Reva returned, she hired Harley because (in her weird mental state) she wanted someone she could trust with the kids (because she feared Josh was trying to get rid of her and that Vanessa wanted the children.). After Reva starts treatment, she asks Harley to stay until she's stronger because she's good with the kids. At the party, Reva starts going off the rails, insulting Justin and Josh hauls her to a private dining room to ask WTF. Reva starts confronting him about the "affair" with Vanessa, and he realizes she is weird. He locks her in the dining room and frees Mindy and Van from the ladies room (where Reva has locked them in). Van starts telling him that Reva attacked her and needs help.  Reva escapes out the window of the dining room and goes back to the party, climbs onto a table and starts a striptease. Josh gets her to stop, takes her home and after filling Ed in, decides to go to the doctor the next day. Reva then takes off and spends days running around town, coming on to a guy she thinks is Billy, Billy, Hamp, Frank and Roger.  Roger takes her to his apartment and takes nude pictures of her, which he tries to blackmail Billy with. He wants the deed to the land the Towers is on in exchange for them. (Billy had been left the deed by a sweet old lady who lost her home in the 5th street fire. Roger had stolen the deed from her before she died. After Roger took those pics of Reva, she saw him hide them, and took an envelope from the hiding place. She didn't realize she'd taken the deed and not the pictures.)  Anyway, Billy and Vanessa trick Roger into burning the pictures, claim the deed and at the Towers opening reveal that Billy owns the land and therefore the Towers. That's what led to Roger and Alex's breakup and Roger and Mindy's affair. Mark Lewis was on ATWT? 1986 is not a good year, storywise. No bueno. Muy no bueno.
    • All the time they spent trying to make viewers feel sorry for Chad only for him to not even last that long. I wonder if they knew Richard Burgi was going so quickly. You're right about Josie replacing Cheryl. On paper, this should have made sense, given all the ties Josie had to the canvas, but I did prefer Cheryl. There was something very synthetic about Alexandra Wilson.  I suppose even if she did have some fans they were just so used to getting rid of people left and right, so she was more collateral damage. As you said above I do wonder what the plans were for Peggy Lazarus. I think AWHP mentioned her once telling Peter that Peggy Lazarus wasn't her real name. Maybe she would have been another Carl moll... Rebecca Hollen never did get her due in her soap roles.
    • So true...Hackney might have had a story on FC with Richard being an old lover of his, but reveals herself to be a Cartel member and blackmails Richard with something into doing her dirty work  LOL. But of course Richard had his hands full with the double trouble sisters Ms. Jones and Ms. Braxton that season.
