Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 All that with Jordan ended so quickly. Wasn't he supposed to get with Sierra or something? Then he was jumping on couches on OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DeeeDee Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Cabot ruined Rosanna. Completely ruined. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Would the Amber/Becky baby saga on B&B count? I believe Amber's baby was stillborn and she took cousin Becky's in order to keep Rick. That story reeled me back in for awhile until the Morgan DeWitt saga began and then I tuned back out. Hope/Lexie on DAYS was a good story that lasted 2 years. One baby switch saga that was brief and very bad was on GL (in 2005) when Edmund took Michelle's baby right after she delivered it and gave it to Cassie. I can't even remember all the circumstances as to how he explained the baby to Cassie, I just remember thinking how gross and revolting the whole scene was with Edmund delivering Michelle's baby and then completely ditching her and leaving her on the side of the road.

Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I really liked that story. I just wish they hadn't killed Becky. Big copout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 One Life To Live did a good one about 20 years ago. Brenda Holden was pregnant with twins when Steve died (Steve Holden her husband) and then somehow because of an X-Ray machine too strong one twin died in the womb leaving her with one child. And then if that wasn't enough, Michael Grande's wife was pregnant at the same time and I think she died in childbirth and Michael was losing his mind in grief. Then the baby died I think too and Gabrielle Medina was desperate to save Michael, so she switched the dead Grande baby in the nursery with Brenda's live baby. Something like that.

Members quartermainefan Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 wow, I forgot all about Katrina Karr. OLTL was really pretty good back then. I know there is a youtuber currently running OLTL 1978 clips, and watching that crew (Marco, Karen, Viki and so on) that was just a well cast and well out together show.

Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Yes, most of the OLTL of that era seems exceptional. I'm sure there was some hokey stuff but Karen, Jenny, Marco, Viki, they are all such strong, real characters. I've seen some clips of the Michael Grande baby switch and it's a bit too OTT and predictable for me but the acting from the participants is first rate. Fiona really can play anything (and then in her return she got to play nothing), and Dennis Parlato was also at his best. The woman who played Brenda was also very good, a very tough ingenue type. I wish she'd stayed around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Coronation Street also had a switched at birth story a few years ago. Michelle Connor, a new character who was at that time eating the show alive, had a 15 year old son, Ryan. Some strange man started watching Ryan at school. This man soon told an angry Michelle that Ryan was his biological son, and that he and his wife had unknowingly raised Michelle's biological son. Michelle went through all kinds of angst for months on end, but finally agreed to spend some time with the boy, who was a bit of a hellraiser and manipulated her guilt so she would let him do what he wanted. The story was very unpopular, and after Ryan and the other boy went to visit Michelle's parents in Ireland, it was never mentioned again. Now Michelle just has Ryan, and no other child seems to have ever existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChiTownBoi03 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 I think the only one I liked is Lexie/Hope on DAYS. Lexie slowly morphed into this creepy evil schemer, and I ate it all up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 No I wouldnt count it. I dont beleive Amber switched her baby with Becky's. She simply took one that wasnt hers with Becky thinkng her child went off to be adopted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Quent Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 The Jennifer/Gwen baby switch on ATWT was probably the best I've seen.It was a great umbrella-type s/l that involved everyone in the cast. It didn't hurt that Jennifer Ferrin and Jennifer Landon were fantastic in their roles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted November 18, 2009 Members Share Posted November 18, 2009 Remeber when Days Lexie threw that party and she was wearing some crazy red dress with big shoulder pads making her look like a Disney villianous? It was so over the top but I loved every minute of it...lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
