Favorite ghostly visits?

[You're Soaking in it]

Yes. I not only remember the story, but I also recall the SPW cover with the tagline "Heaven Can Wait" - - Tad had afterlife experience after he was injured in the 1994 tornado. (The front door of the Martin house blew off its hinges and struck Tad in the head.) I believe his "third mom," Nola Orsini, also appeared.

Ryan's Hope did this in 1983 when Jack and Maeve dreamed of Mary, and again in 1986 when Maura appeared to help her daughter Ryan get married.

Were Millee Taggart and Tom King responsible for Mary/Maura in 1986 on Ryan's Hope?

In the early 00's on DAYS they used izzy b as a ghost. at first just to Brady but i think she ended up appearing to john and victor but im not sure about that. But anyways, i think the brady/izzy scenes were really well done.

I agree. I hate ghosts on soaps, always have always will.

Yes. Claire Labine only came back in March 1987.

On, GH, during Stone's death, I liked when Anna visited Robin and Robert visited Luke. They had been gone for years at that time and nobody knew then they would come back alive.

On GL, when Harley was shot and being operated on, she saw Nadine.

On OLTL, I also liked Viki's trip to Heaven (both of them). The first because it was nice to see some of the long-gone characters again (Vinny, Samantha, etc.,) and especially because I never got to see Joe Riley except in flashbacks. Despite her other relationships, I think Joe and Clint were her two greatest loves up until then (and, heck, since then, too, even though I liked Ben and Charlie) and I always thought it was so unique that Joe had loved Viki so much that, when he was dying, he brought in Clint to replace him in Viki's life both personally and professionally. I liked how, on the ship to Heaven, he was basically forcing Viki to confront her latest mental vacation and what she was doing to Clint.

I also liked Viki's more recent trip, mainly because Asa was there. I wasn't sure if it was kind of morbid at the time to kill off Asa and have Phil Carey do more scenes when he was sick but now am glad they did it that way because it was nice to have those final scenes (Heaven, his taped will, Matthew's visit in the hospital), as kind of a goodbye to Phil as well. In a way I wished we had that with Clint Ritchie but I am not unhappy that Clint Buchanan continues to live on.

I got that idea from AMC. When Maria appeared to Edmund back when he was stuck in some aqueaduct, the writers specificalyl said that it was simply a figment of his imagination and she wasnt really a ghost. They gave themselves an out bc of course she came back alive years later. I use that excuse for every "ghost" that shows up now
