DALLAS: Any sort of interaction between Linda Gray and Larry Hagman was flat out delicious. I especially liked all of the fights JR and Sue Ellen engaged in regarding John Ross. And when Sue Ellen got sober, she was a force.

DYNASTY: Any scene featuring Joan Collins was a winner for me. She made that show.

FALCON CREST: This will sound dumb...but in the opening credits when Susan Sullivan would whirl around with her hair blowing in the wind. So glamorous and she did it every single season.

KNOTS LANDING: When Abby said to Val "Maybe I'm having an affair with Gary. Maybe I'm not. But you should know that I can have him anytime, anywhere I like" which caused Val to slap her!

MELROSE PLACE: I liked when Brooke drowned in the pool ("Nobody's home. Nobody cares.") and basically whenever Heather Locklear got angry. Fun time that show was.

aww melrose... hwne i was like 9 i had that posted of Heather L and it said "mondats are a bitch!" lol. all my friends were like "ur parents let you have a poster that says bitch?" and i was like damn skippy... lolz. memories.

anyways...

Dawsons Creek - the finale. by far the best episode. the best moment was when jen broke down about not wanting to die and leave her daughter alone. michelle williams > life.

when Buffy killed Angel in buffy season 2 finale.

when Cordy "woke up" from her coma and got angel back on track, then we find out she died and Cordy made TPTB give her a favor.

does anytime billy campbell was nekked on once & again count? it should.

on One Tree Hill when they reinacted how Naley met and fell in love, and lucas and peyton, as nathan and haylee, were in bed and brooke was watching. then peyton told brooke she was in love with luc. (oh... and when broke blew up in peytons wall and pointed out lucas was hers. his name was on her side of the wall! greatness!!)

Degrassi: TNG - Season 4 start (i think..) its called Ghost In The Machine. Paige finnally takes Dean, her rapist, to court - and loses. Later shes drunk at a party and takes spinner keys. gets in his car and spots Deans car and crashs them. Pretty much it was Paige hitting bottom. great stuff there.

Melrose Place with Kimberly taking off her wig in the bathroom, revealing monstrous scars from brain surgery.

There was a scene with Allison and her lunatic ex boyfriend. They were talking on the phone and he blew his brains out while talking to her. I still remember that. It creeped the hell out of me.

Dallas: There's J.R.'s shooting, of course, but I recall fondly when J.R. sent a couple of his goons to stop Sue Ellen from leaving with John Ross at the airport...only to be thwarted by a couple of goons sent by Clayton and Dusty Farlow.

Dynasty: Although it was over-the-top, and it ruined what little credibility the show had, I thought the Moldavian Massacre was compelling. (And had some core cast members actually died, it would've been even better.)

Falcon Crest: The penultimate season was the only season of FC I enjoyed. Therefore, it's only natural that my favorite moment from that show - Maggie shooting and killing Senator Ryder, who was attempting to assassinate Richard Channing - come from that year.

Knots Landing: Gosh, so many. Three that stick out in my mind, however, are Ciji Dunne's body washing up on the shore, Dr. Ackerman, on the run and confronted by Mack and Karen, taking his own life with a gun from the glove compartment of his car, and Val coming face-to-face with Harry Fisher as he was driving off with one of his twins.

Which one? "Dynasty" was practically wall-to-wall catfights.

One good confrontation, though, occurred between Alexis and Dominique at (I think) La Mirage. You know, the one where Dominique smiles, says, "I forgot to thank you for my birthday present, Alexis," then slaps the taste out of her mouth.

Succinct, to the point, and without anyone having to muss her hair, dirty her gown, or smudge her makeup.

Beverly Hills, 90210:

*Brenda runs away from home to be with Dylan

Dallas:

*JR is shot

*Bobby's "death" (referring only to how he was originally "killed")

*Pam crashes into an oil tanker

Dawson's Creek:

*Pacey has an affair with a teacher

Knots Landing:

*Sid's death

I'm sure I have a lot more favorite moments, but unfortunately my memory is bad since it has been so long since I have watched these shows.

    • Daytime belonged to CBS. They would have been making a lot of $$$ with that lineup. For context, this is the lineup at that time. Only one soap on ABC (GH) and NBC (TD) which was still an anthology at that point. So it wasn't until the opposition added more soaps that they became competitive. NBC CBS ABC 10:00am Say When! CBS Morning News LOCAL 10:25am NBC News 10:30am Word for Word I Love Lucy (R) 11:00am Concentration The McCoys (R) The Price is Right 11:30am Missing Links Pete and Gladys (R) The Object Is... 12:00 Noon Your First Impression Love of Life Seven Keys 12:25pm CBS News 12:30pm Truth or Consequences Search for Tomorrow Father Knows Best (R) 12:45pm The Guiding Light 12:55pm NBC News 1:00pm LOCAL LOCAL The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show 1:25pm 1:30pm As the World Turns LOCAL 2:00pm Let's Make a Deal Password 2:25pm NBC News 2:30pm The Doctors Art Linkletter's House Party Day in Court 2:55pm ABC News 3:00pm Loretta Young Theatre (R) To Tell the Truth General Hospital 3:25pm CBS News 3:30pm You Don't Say!

    • Per recent Twitch live: Wraps filming his new film on Friday. Begins a new film on May 19. Will resume regular Twitch streams soon. Has a lot of projects coming out later this year. His current project has kept him in Tennessee longer than he was meant to be.
    • Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?
    • Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.
    • Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.
    • thank you for uploading the rest of season 12!!! I hope i can get them soon the links down! Thank you again for posting the B&B classic episodes to revisit!!!!
    • Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that
    • Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.
