Deja Puke: Don't be surprised if you see a storyline on one of the six remaining sudsers in the near future that is a blatant ripoff of a "Whole Town in Peril" umbrella story another soap did in the not-so-distant past. Considering the soap that did this story originally (Twice actually!) was panned for it big time, you'd think it wouldn't exactly be a benchmark, but what do we know? We're just silly online fans.

I can only see it being OLTL, GH or Y&R.

DAYS doesn't have the money, AMC is the soap being ripped off, and this just isn't B&B's style.

At least Victoria will have an excuse as to why her hair looks like crap.

Best comment so far this week...

A TORNADO!? Seriously Maria? Are we allowed to guess which ICONIC character will be killed off? Since we adore Nina and Traci and they both are nods to history they'll like to go off the deep end, right?

Meanwhile Cane will end up as hero of the day - yet again.

I can see the show using this opportunity to have their big studs, like Chompers, Victor, and Ronan, beat people up. Cattle rustlers, or JT, or Adam, or some random extras.

I wonder if they will rip off Emmerdale and have someone's death blamed for the tornado when they were actually killed by a person.

Close, but no cigar!

JT driving on the road when the unexpected Sweeps Stunt Tornado hits. JT wrecks the car, likely at the end of a montage of the cast fighting and bracing for the storm, likely using Carrie Underwood's "Jesus Take The Wheel" or something even more "ironic" and dumb like Musetta's Waltz(the La Boheme version for the moment JT dies) to make themselves seem so f*cking hip, trendy, and high art. Cane finds JT and tries to save his life, but it's too late. Mac, devastated that her longtime friend and now lover is dead, cries herself into a near nervous breakdown. She puts her head down in grief and shame after the funeral, leaving town to the instrumental, Moonstruck version of Musetta's Waltz to tie it all together.

WIN!!!!

OMGOMGOMGOMG! Musetta's Waltz?!? How did you think of that one?

It randomly came to me when I was thinking about what song they will use for this ridiculous, shock value death. I was thinking of the instrumental they crafted for Moonstruck when I initially envisioned that scene. Google search or two later comes the context.

It's right up Maria's alley to do something so trite and played out like that, but to think that was so damn original.

Don't forget the next episode opening with a long pan shot of the wreckage with bad CGI & recessed studio lighting set to Sarah McLaclan's Angel.

+1

Aren't Carrie Underwood and Sarah McLaclan's songs too fancy and expensive for Y&R to use?

These are the Emmy shows! Gotta go all out for those!

This thread is full of WIN.

I hope Rauch destroys the Ranch and the Chancellor mansion and forces everyone to live at the GCAC until he can revamp the sets in his usual, OTT, trashy way.

No one mentioned "I Will Remember You" or "I Hope You Have the Time of Your Life."

I will die if this happens, but with a big giant chipmunk of course
