LOVED LOVED LOVED Erica's meltdown at the Woman of the Year awards on AMC (1996?) when she lashed out at everyone in town, especially St. Maria of Wildwind, "tending to the sick in her push-up bra." Still waiting for that clip to turn up on YouTube...

OOoooh yes a classic AMC moment from my alltime favorite AMC storyline (Erica's addiction)!

There have been several wonderful mental breakdowns on Y&R, I happened to enjoy the mental collapse of Tricia Dennison.

What ever happened to Tricia is she still in the looneybin?

Yep.

OLTL's Blair...seeing "red" and shooting Max in the back.

Does anyone remember Maria's breakdown at some event in 2005? It happened just after she found out that Edmund had left her with nothing in his will. I thought Eva La Rue played the hell out of those scenes.

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.

Eastenders:- Dot after Ethels death...

Emmerdale:- Marlon breaks down after and before Tricia dying!....

B&B:- Stephanie thinking Taylor had died!...

I also forgot to add Annie on GL

My sweet little Annie Dutton was NOT CRAZY!! She was just a little misunderstood that's all...

I remember that. She and Julia Barr were always so good in their scenes together. Sigh.

I enjoyed Eve Guthrie's breakdown on GL. I remember Eve spiking Mindy's water bottle with some drug that would end up causing her to almost crash her car with little Bill.

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!

Is there any clips or pics of Lexie in the Looneybin i could see?
