The best/worst Baby Switch Storylines


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Lots of soaps have done them. They seem to be a staple now.

From AMC's with Maria and Erica( I think it was those two) to Babe and Bianca, to Y&R's with Ash and Sharon( which you wouldn't even know they did one with the horrible writing, its never played on) To Days current one with Sami and Nicole. Which Soap has told the best/worst baby swap storyline?

To me Days has set the new standard. Y&R's is TERRIBLE!!!!

Your thoughts?

I would say the OLTL one was very good.

I don't care for the Y&R one.

The Sheila/Lauren baby switch 10 years ago was also very good. And the one on DAYS recently.

I thought the one with Babe/Bianca would have been better if it hadn't gone on so long.

The baby switch on Emmerdale last year was absolutely superb. Some of it is on Youtube. Baby Daniel's death, and then Laurel's disbelief and horror as she learned that the child she'd grieved for had never been hers. The other mother in the story, who had never been able to conceive and now knew she had lost another child, was also phenomenal.

Days: The one with Lexie and Hope from a few years ago was pretty good

Y&R: Sharon/Ashley. This one is turning out to be the worst. Absolutely disgusting and revolting

AMC/OLTL: The AMC side of it with Babe/Bianca was good. The OLTL stuff with Kelly was a mess

The Good

OLTL - Jenny/Katrina - An amazing story that played out in real time. As each year passed the ending became more gut wrenching to fathom.

Days - Sami/Nicole - Good story with good pacing and great acting from AZ and AS.

Knots Landing - Val/Abby - Although not your conventional baby switch story, mesmerizing just the same.

AW had one with Vicky giving Grant a baby from her sister Marley's baby clinic and giving their real son to Jake and Paulina. She didn't want Grant to have their son because she thought he was a monster.

SuBe had the one where Caitlin and Olivia were pregnant at the same time. Caitlin lost her baby. Annie drugged Olivia, made her think her baby was dead, and gave it to Caitlin. I'm not sure if that counts.

    • They even had the same cop investigate the crime lol
    • So I think I figured based on the end credits who is the script writer for each episode. Thursday's episode looked to have been script written by David Kreizman, and it was a well written episode that flowed well. Today's episode looked to have been script written by Henry Newman (son of Fran Myers and the late Roger Newman).   Right now, I've noticed improvements on the day to day scripts and that's a good sign that eventually the long term outlines that we will see in the coming weeks and months will be good.  Fingers crossed.
    • I have a very different view of Dano. For one thing, she like me, loves her little dogs. Another thing, of course she is effusive, outgoing but she is also very vulnerable & she used to have her Frank, her mother & Vivian who officially was her publicist (I think) but she was so much more. Now, they are all gone. Well, except for her always having a pair of her little dogs. But, if I were going to think in your terms, what I would think is "cool aunt". Because this lady is really one cool dame. Here is one of my favorite views of her https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGecq8rJS4w/

    • I found it to be a rather odd way to deal with a character departing for parts unknown.
    • Today reminded me as to why I’m a little disappointed in the name that the new Pope chose

      Luckily, EJ and Johnny, and pretty much every other character saved today’s episode.  I didn’t expect Javi to be the one to save Sarah though, and I don’t mind it at all, because if it means that Javi is finally going to get his own identity/character, away from his douchy bf, I’m all for it. Javi’s scenes would’ve been a lot better had it not been for him. EJ and Johnny were the best part of today. Their conversation hit a lot of important beats and I’m so looking forward to seeing them play out. And now that EJ knows that Johnny is going to work for Xander, that opens up another dynamic to their storyline and to the Kiriakis family storylines as well. Tying them all together could be really good. There are so many story possibilities that can come out of this. And I thought Carson Boatman did a pretty good job again too.  I also liked that Johnny was there to comfort Chanel after everything that happened with Sarah. They’re so good together. But I do have mixed feelings about Chanel possibly forgiving Johnny so quickly. Hopefully, the question that she asked him at the end of today leads to more conflict for the two of them.  And yeah, still no changes in Alex’s character lol 
    • Awesome, thanks so much for taking the time to grab this episode. I had a quick review of your rip because I was curious why it was 700MB and 30 minutes. The first 10 minutes of the episode is 3169 (opening credits at 5 minutes and again at 15 minutes). I thought we had the full HD version of ep.3170 on the YouTube channel, but it appears they added the wrong episode but labelled it 3170. 
    • I guess, according to Mike Manning in the Michael Fairman chat, he was almost Derek
