Which soap had the best or worst ending?


Recommended Posts

I think Somerset had the best ending, all the storylines had a closing and all the good couples were together. And I think Capitol had the worst ending, Sloan and the firing squad, Laureen(The real Clegg matriarch) was introduced to the show a month before the final episode instead of earlier, and I think none of the good couples ended up together.

What do you think?

I have to say that Port Charles, hands down/no contest had the worst finale. Other soaps, even though they may have not had good endings, had some sort of closure. The Port Charles ending opened up a realm of new stories and continuity. I miss it!!! :(

I disagree about PORT CHARLES. I thought it had a great ending, I hate when shows are wrapped up so perfectly...I kind like loose ends...makes you TRULY sad the show is now gone and will FOREVER keep you guessing about what COULDA happened next.

ANOTHER WORLD's ending was a dissapointment for me personally...minus the FINAL scene with Rachel, turning out the lights and all the pictures..that was FREAKING AWESOME and beautifully shot...OH AN the Cass/Felicia scenes....ok I guess it wasn't as bad I initially thought.

SUNSET BEACH I thought ended terribly...as did LOVING and THE CITY!

For Daytime:

Ryan's Hope had the best ending. I still remember Meave singing Johnny Boy!

Santa Barbara/Capital (tie) for worst ending.

For Primetime:

Falcon Crest had the best ending. Angela came back to rightful place at Falcon Crest.

Dallas had the worst. Too many loose ends and fans had to wait for the reunion to find out JR's fate.

WORST

Port Charles really was a let down for me...I hated that we didn't get a happy ending for Lucy and Kevin (especially since Thorsten Kaye went to AMC right after PC bit the dust as a different character, sealing the storyline with Lucy Coe shut)...to me PC was all about Lucy and Kevin and I really felt that ABC shafted both of them, they should have been transferred back to GH right after PC's demise.

BEST

Another World was a soap which I think got a nice ending. Everyone ended up happy, Rachel and Carl ended the show beautifully with turning out the lights and going through all the pictures in the living room. To make things even better Mac Cory's still picture toasting the audience just capped off what was one of the best soap operas ever.

Love of Life ended its 29 year run with storylines unresolved.

Ben was cleared of attempted murder by Betsy,but she collapsed after giving her testimony and her life hung in the balance.

I think longtime director Larry Auerbach was shown walking through an empty set(Correct me if I'm wrong)

Amy revealed that Bruce Sterling was her father!

Texas and The Doctors both finished up on the same day and storylines were resolved.

On The Doctors Matt and Maggie planned to remarry and Mike and Kit also made plans to wed.

The cast of Texas were all together and made a toast -'To Texas!'

SUNSET BEACH ended quite fine. The little trick they did at the end was surprising and then we realized it's just a prank and it's all okay. The show did good and the ending was great.

SANTA BARBARA didn't have anything good happening since they brought in the Walker/DeAngelis family. The show sucked during 1992-1993.

LOVING had the best storyline at the end... but it wasn't a good way to end a long running show.

THE CITY had a great ending. It all came to an end and then there was the Molly/Sidney cliffhanger. It was okay.

    • No it's alphabetical between the two openings - the A-whatever is opening 1 and whatever-Z is opening 2. So in theory, if his last name started with an A, he'd be first in opening 1 and they would have had to remove Maurice (who was in opening 2), which requires edits to both. Unless I'm going crazy haha

    • All depends, really. Whichever opening had Johnson would have had to change; it's not like he was in both openings.
    • Well, it's alphabetical, so they got lucky with the actor's name fitting into place like that. Otherwise, if they stayed alphabetical, they could have had to change both.
    • To their credit, the new writers are clever to stick to current events from the time they were taping, versus trying to predict current events at the time the episode airs.  Case in point, Susan and questionable choice to hop on a cruise two days after her son was shot, and the case remains unsolved, so her remains at risk...

      Although cruises around the world are not uncommon for Salem citizens like Julie, it seemed like the type of reference DOOL continues to like dropping into scripts for humor. Also, help me understand the Marlena and EJ interaction.  Didn't they come to a mutual détente earlier in the week?  I felt gaslighted, but I could've just as easily misunderstood Marlena's earlier talk to Belle, and then EJ. And is Bo in Boston (near Ceara) or Greece (where he was transferred after he was shot)?  I bet it is expensive to fly a coma patient transatlantically!
    • It was one of the bigger disappointments that Sarah wasn't part of the book. 
    • They clearly loved her offcamera. I wish I could appreciate her work more, but...I don't. Thanks for telling me what Levin said at the end. I still don't think Carney was bad, but I guess he would always see them as not shining compared to Kate.
    • Around 2002, when I would have killed Alan, I'd bring back Amanda, who would have a love/hate relationship with Philip mirroring Alan and Alex, I'd have a proper Alex recast, I might bring back Alan-Michael (and maybe Hope or Mike on recurring), and I'd bring in a long-lost son for Philip who would be around his late teens or early twenties.  I agree that Philip would still need a rival. That's where giving Roger another long-lost kid (not Sebastian) could have worked in this timeframe.
    • @ranger1rg @DemetriKaneI was sure I was swimming upstream alone on this. I get that they are all proud to be Duprees, but the writers are just overplaying it. Ted's an ass, but presumably, he's been a model husband for the last 25 (?) years...but he just isn't good enough (or can handle or whatever..) a Dupree woman? *cough* I guess the next "shocker" is whatever Vernon and Anita's secret is. I hope it's something a little more original than him cheating on Anita.
    • Yes, that was probably to he case. In  the book, after Malcolm Groome (Pat) said he dated Kathleen Tolan,  he said he saw her theater work and found her to be  "compelling and charismatic actress"  In one of Ilene Kristen's many video interviews promoting the book, she also praised Kathleen.
    • David knowing Burke was going to die and making sure to say goodbye to him was very unnerving. Some of the last moments where David Henesy's otherworldly vibes from those first few years are put to good use. I agree that the few months right before 1795 are excellent. They do a great job with building suspense and going through insane twists.  DS was never going to be able to have a long run anyway, with the high burnout rate and a number of principal cast not likely to stay, but I do wonder what might have been if they had done a better job with the present day after the return from 1795.
