All: Daytime's Most Powerful Scenes

Yes. Anne had some powerhouse scenes in both roles. Comedy, drama, romance, scheming, everything. One I had fond memories of was when she changed her name to Hudson -- that popped up again in the goodbye montage when Anne left.

There were also those fantastic scenes when Marley told Vicky that Jake had raped her.

@Carl Yes! Thanks. I must have combined memories and replaced the kids for Clint. The parts where she says she's more tired than she thought and simply calls for, "Clint?" before he sh-sh-shushes her, so sad. I thought the show was really great around this time, beautiful use of music, and shot so dim and moody.

I've gone on about this before but one of my favorite Youtube clipsets is devoted to forgotten GL character Diane Ballard, a control freak, Alan's devoted secretary, in love with him and meticulously plotting how to get him and how to ferret out his secrets. Over time she loses her grip, and her mind, and begins to just want control of Spaulding for herself. Everything seems to be going her way, but in this fabulous scene, real and raw and with a bravura performance from Sofia Landon, she learns that her beloved Alan, whom she always assumed would never cheat on his saintly wife Hope, DID cheat, just not with her -- and actually, with a woman she despised. Her reaction is one that stays with me for a long time.

I loved the Jack/Siobhan relationship on RH. I loved it so much that it actually hurt when I first watched those episodes and watched Jack push her away from him and convince her to get together with a man who turned out to be a sociopathic mob thug.

I don't think the scene where Jack tells her they can never be is online (if I ever figure out Youtube I will put it up - check back in 90 or so years), but this scene, where they almost kiss, is amazing. Watch this and weep that ABC fired Sarah Felder for being too ugly.

Joe was a PI and a schemer who was on-off lovers with Diane. He liked to play both sides, as he was also sort of helping Vanessa and her father Henry for a while. He and Diane had a very ugly falling out over mistrust and lies. More of their relationship is in the clips.

She hated Rita basically because Rita was seen as the town whore.

Yeah, ABC forced Sarah Felder to cut her hair, and then fired her. They recast the role with Ann Gillespie, who was basically a blonde bimbo (apparently she later found her niche as Kelly Taylor's mother on 90210).

There was a scene on OLT a few years ago, I can't remember when. I know at the time "Tess" was out, and Jess was gone. I know Vicki was having a heart attack. And she was laying on the floor, having a heartattack, and "Tess" was there. I just remember in a really sinister way she stepped over Viki's body and was singing something like "Mommy had a heart attack" over and over...

Anyone else remember?

It was really, a kind of sick scene. But it's always stuck with me.

I know which scene your talking about, it's the next scene after this one. Jess/Tess comes back to Llanfair after Viki leaves in the ambulance with Todd. She lies down on the kitchen table and she sings Ring around the rosie(almost 99% sure) and the scene ends with her singing "and they all fall down". It was bone chilling.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
