Your 10 favorite soap moments of 2009

[classicmoment]

As Y&R has been the soap I have watched the most for a few years now (I can count on one hand how much I have watched any other), most of my picks will be from that soap how-ever I do have a few from GH and Days.

10)Y&RPhyllis slaps Heather. Who didn't love that moment?

9) Y&R The addition of Stacy Haduik to the cast

8)Y&R Jack finds out Billy may have fathered Sharon's baby, The slap from Phyllis

leading upto the reveal leading up to the Billy Jack face off was excellent

acting by all

7)GH Claudia's misdeeds exposed by Sonny at her own party. I liked the pace of the scene.

Maurice was good and I loved Sarah Brown here as Claudia as well as the followup

car scene with Laura Wright.

6)Y&R Phyllis vandalizes Sharon room while Sharon and Nick sleep together again! I liked

the production elements, the direction as well as raw acting from MS shown in

juxtaposition with the subtle heat between JM&SC. Also liked SC 's mini breakdown

as Sharon, the mirror image messaged "I hate myself" was excellent

5)Days Sami finds out Nicole took her baby. I liked watching Ali as Sami slapped AZ's

Nicole around but AZ impressed me quite a bit here as she showed the layers of

the blended pain, defiance, deceit,loss, desperation. I eneded sympathizing with

Nicole. Loved it

4)Y&R The Abbot dinner party. Loved the dramedy

3)Y&R Victor discovers Adam may "inherit" his mother's blindness, very touching scenes.

Engen and Braeden brought the best out of each other

2)Y&R Jess Walton decided to stay on board Y&R

1)Y&R The cakefight and the reveal that Jill and Katherine aren't mother and daugther.

brilliance by all involved

I get my years confused...

Victor explaining to Elvis how it was going to be while Stefano was prisoner

Victor telling Chloe her natural state was to be undressed

Victor saying rather than contributing to charity to hear Chloe sing, he would like to know how much he would have to pay to get her to not

Victor telling Brady to save the noble BS and get lost if he was not going to be of help (at the hospital immediately after Philip was shot)

Stefano telling Kate the doctors describe her as a preexisting condition

On GH:

Luke and Ethan singing Stray Cat Strut

Holly telling Lucky he has to get over himself

Mac at Maxie's wedding (rehearsal/wedding/reception)

Franco telling Jason how much he worships him and how they are two of a kind

Helena telling off Liz

(I did like the scene where Michael killed Claudia, that and Sonny telling Claudia off were near misses)

[reallyhateskateonlost]

GH: Claudia's Death, Sam Shooting Jason, "You Shot Me!"...lol

AMC: Zach Shoots and kills the Fetus, David and Erica Dancing, David as the Devil, Anything without Ryan.

DOOL: Sami Slapping Nicole Twice

OLTL: Mitch Popping Out of a Coffin

Since I've only been watching Y&R, here's a few of my favorite moments of this year:

- Jill and Kay find out that they aren't related after all, and the angst between them. (Pretty much only the beginning of this)

- The mystery of Mary Jane (Also, only the very few first episodes)

- Heather ripping into Adam for lying to her by having him arrested.

- Karen ripping into Neil for being an SOB.

Damn, I guess that's it.
