The 100 Most Memorable Moments in Soap History

Featured Replies

I guess when I think memorable I think of good stuff and not trainwreck stories like the Garden of Eden but I guess that is memorable by the context they are doing this in.

Some of the rankings are messed up. I think some things should be higher but I guess not bad in the context it's in.

I'm not sure what was so great about Eden's rape...the perpetrator turned out to be her gynocologist. More then a few women found that to be unsettling.

I don't understand why Eden's rape made the cut, but Sunny Adamson's rape (on SEARCH FOR TOMORROW) didn't. And speaking of SEARCH, where is the Henderson flood on the list? Or Travis and Liza's trip to Hong Kong? Or even Jennifer Pace shooting Eunice dead, or Vargas kidnapping Jo?

Erica's unabortion on AMC is something I would like to NOT remember! Should not be on the list since it is not memorable except for spitting on history

There are a lot of things that deserved to be on there but just aren't, IMO in favor of more and more GH things. AMC's tornado very much deserves to be up there somewhere. I also believe Jack and Erica's wedding should have made the list somewhere.

IMO, the biggest AMC moment that they managed to leave off the list would have to be when Tom confronted Erica about her birth control use in November 1979. That scene lives on in the memory of anybody who's gotten the chance to see it.

This list was made by people suggesting any and every scene they wanted. If someone thought Jeremy Hunter dying as a statue was memorable on LOVING, they could have nominated that. After that was done, the site compiled the list using whatever method they used. I emailed in a few suggestions (Heather Webber) and am pleased it was chosen.

I sent in a couple of Palmer scenes from AMC but they didn't make the cut.

Stevie M, OMG, you totally reminded me. Clink-Boom was my favorite episode of all time! Personally, I think it should be on there as well.

Clink-Boom is there, at No. 58.

As brilliant as the BJ's death story was, three moments on the list is a bit much, especially given there's no Doug Cummings/"Someone To Watch Over Me" reveal from ATWT (that's a nearly unforgivable omission.) Also, I'm surprised they couldn't find a clip of Nola/Quint in the hot air balloon.

Palmer and the Dobermans! C'mon, that was a huge, iconic moment!

Agree with all of these.....I just watched clips of Tom confronting Erica about the birth control. Man was he pissed! But he was too good for her ;)

Max and Morgan meeting each other

Steve and Stephanie heart to heart in the hallway at steve's place

The day Shelley Henning (Stephanie Johnson) is out, will be a memorable moment.......

Pretty good choices. For DAYS, they should have included Hope's "death" in the cage (1990), John/Marlena's pier reunion (91) and Roman dying in Bo's arms (84).

I'm just shocked that I know and recognize just about every one of these 100 moments. And I have seen most of them, or at least stills in SOD/SOW or youtube archives.

I obviously am invested WAY too much in the soap world :-)

Thanks for mentioning the soap moments, guys. I'm the guy who put them together. I know the list isn't perfect as whittling the big list down to 100 was really challenging, but I hope you at least enjoyed the stroll down soaps' memory lane. :)
