One that I will never forget (for all the wrong reasons) was when GH's Heather Webber drank the LSD laced iced tea that she had meant for Diana Taylor to drink. Heather tripped out and began to screech and convulse. The actress playing Heather at the time, Mary O'Brien was a catastrophe! It was embarrassing to watch.

Not exactly a mental breakdown but the one I remember is Maria and Edmund at the airport on AMC when Maria was fleeing Pine Valley with baby Sam in her arms because Kelsey changed her mind and wanted her baby back. The scenes of Edmund literally prying that baby out of her arms while she begged him not to take her child away (and her subsequent blood-curdling scream of anguish) STILL sends chills down my spine. Eva La Rue should've won an Emmy for those scenes alone, she was magnificent!

Sunset Beach's Virginia Harrison. She flipped out big time, once all her crazy schemes were exposed. Her slipping out of that straight jacket was mighty creepy.

Didn't B&B's Brooke Logan have an emotional breakdown in the early nineties? She was clutching her children's toy or something, hiding out. I can't recall if she was committed though. KKL did an awesome job. She's very overlooked as an actress, IMO.

Days' Lexie was locked up in a padded room, after whacking out at Zack's baptism. Whatever your opinions are of the baby switch, it definitely allowed Reene Jones to showcase her talents.

I never got that girl at all. I mean, she was so uninteresting to me and then she turned all saintly I think back when she had cancer or something. I was kind of cheering for Tory Granger back when was doing her crap with Ross and Blake but I knew where the writers were taking her character. So, it was a good brief ride, but she was no Annie Dutton bless her heart.

Does anyone remember Nurse Ali on DAYS? Now that girl tripped me out! :lol:

    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.  
    • Today was really boring. I get we needed to have Martin accepting Eva but man I needed some Leslie today. Anita being hung up on was intriguing though.
    • Yup, that's John Mahoney, a few months before the star-studded 1986 production of The House of Blue Leaves. Also, God bless TPTB for thinking that a circus storyline was gonna grab the hearts and attention of viewers.
    • I don't think we have. I suspect @Paul Raven could confirm it for sure.  ETA: off the top of my head, I counted 13 sets (counting the hotel room Doug/Vanessa made up in separate from the hotel room Ted is in unless it was refashioned).
    • Have we seen them? There’s a bit more variety than some of the other soaps but I feel like GH still has them beat. Right now everyone literally only eats at the country club or Orphy Genes. Jessica and Samantha look like twins.
    • Dante to Kristina: You turned out okay.

    • Am I misremembering or were they bragging about over 20 sets? Have we seen them all cause I feel like we haven’t and I’d like to see some more.
