Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 I thought the quaratine on GH was beforeh 2009 because isn't that when Tony Jones died? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members applcin Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 GL's first blackout was very well done because it generated so many new stories and created so many dramatic situations: Nick running to the church to find Mindy had skipped off on their wedding; Blake & Ross get together; Jenna and little Michelle trapped in the elevator; Roger & Maureen; Ed & Lillian; Eleni trapped in the freezer.

Members ghfan89 Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 The one thing I didn't like about the AMC tornado was getting rid of the Martin house... they should've been the one set that always stayed on AMC, it gave it kind of a homey feel.

Members Paul Raven Posted October 8, 2010 Members Share Posted October 8, 2010 SFT The Flood - very well staged and signified a change for the better. SB - Earthquake -literally shook things up and eliminated a few characters from a crowded canvas plus led to more story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cityfan01 Posted October 9, 2010 Members Share Posted October 9, 2010 CITY's bombing of the City Bar was pretty good as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dion Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Both have done Bush fires a few times (after all Bush fires are an almost annual event in parts of Australia), Home and Away's most significant bush fire was in 1995, while Neighbours' most significant was in 2008.

Members Pine Charles Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 The 2008 tornado was really good for a daytime soap, but I'm not a fan of CGI. When I watch the '94 tornado, it seems so real. Other than those, the plane crash that "killed" Maria good; as was the explosion at Holidays.

Members darraholic Posted October 10, 2010 Members Share Posted October 10, 2010 Best: AMC's first tornado, Sunset's Shockwave, DAYS Plane Crash (2008) Worst: The earthquakes on DAYS caused by Rex's stupid diamond machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
