Moments that made you change the channel


Recommended Posts

Does have those moments were you had to change the channel either because you were disturbed, shaken, or disgusted by what was happening on your soap? I have a few of those I remember quite well:

--Hans the terrorist sawing of Lily's wedding ring on ATWT

--Diego raping Emily on ATWT

--Maggie being bludgeoned, Days

--The story of Maryanne Carruthers is finally told, GL

--Colleen's drowning/seeing Brad Y&R

Anything with hammy Annie Parisse on ATWT during the crazy Julia era. Killing a horse, raping Jack, punching him...this was all supposed to get viewers hot, but it just turned my stomach, and is one of the reasons I ended up tuning out again.

The same is true for Craig giving that bit player a suicide pill, another moment that was supposed to turn viewers on in Shefferland.

Well I rarely change the channel when watching live (bc then Id most likely miss the stuff I would want to see). But I'll mention what makes me FF/zone out

GH's Spinelli. I simply can not watch that idiot. Granted I dont watch GH live anymore so FF him is easy, but I have to zone out when he is onscreen.

OLTL's current teens. They suck and I find it hard to sit through scenes featuring just them. They are slightly bearable around adults but in just teen scenes? Its time to skip the show for a few minutes

On Y&R, realizing that I hated most if not all of the characters that got the most screentime.

I tried to watch again than the Ashby storyline drove me off again. First being I don't give a eff about Cane and especially not his family and Second, knowing why this story came to be just pissed me off.

When Adam was gaslighting Patty at the nut house- At that point I just wanted Adam dead. I know Patty was no saint, but it was pathetic to see Adam gaslight another woman with mental issues.

Billy came to JT and Mac's apartment to berate them for "hurting" Victoria. I knew then that their final week on the show would be propping Villy , but I didn't think it piss me off that much. Then the wedding which was basically a way to show the subtleties in VIctoria's pain and Billy's ability to be a wonderful husband. That nauseating scene of Victoria saying goodbye to Reed was just eye roll inducing. Of course people ate that [!@#$%^&*] up.

I guess not really turning the channel, but on Passions when Tabitha and Timmy met crazy Norma for the first time, and she went after Tabitha in the shower with her axe, i remember i was so scared at seeing Tabitha get chopped up, i covered my eyes. It turned out she kept chopping at her shampoo bottle which was starberry

colored so it looked like blood, LOL

The only time I ever had to change the channel was when Craig (Jon Lindstrom) made out with Danielle, the girl he had once thought was his own daughter. Possibly the sleaziest moment I've ever seen on daytime. I doubt very much that Scott Bryce would have played that scene.

Close runner-up: Parker and Liberty have sex. The fact that Parker was about 14 years old (as was the actor Mick Hazen) made the scene cringe-worthy.

OLTL: Ford making out with his mentally ill rape victim in a padded cell, while they're both wearing nun costumes, while an actual nun that Ford had just assaulted/stripped down was shoved in the corner gagged and in a straitjacket. I want to change the channel every time Ford is on screen at all, but that moment just takes the cake. Beyond disgusting and offensive.

    • And I'm here for it.   Also...YES, PLEASE. 
    • Also, someone knocked over the head (usually in the D Mansion) and imprisoned in the secret tunnel room or whatever it was. I swear that must have happened at least a dozen times the last few years, and each time it drove me crazy! 
    • HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! And here I am rewatching and...

    • 5-9   Honestly? There's nothing going on. And yet unlike Y&R, I'm not bored. But I just think that's because of the acting going on as they play the beats in this Liam dying storyline. Well, that and the outfits.   If there's anything I'm liking it's the continued drama of Daphne going after Carter and not letting anyone get in her way. Not Brooke. Not Katie. NO ONE.    And while I love TK in those glasses, I am not here for a Brooke/Ridge/Taylee triangle.    And of course, Luna would try to use this Liam mess to get closer to Finn.   Okay week.
    • The acting during those Sarah scenes on Friday was horrific.
    • So true. Their hypocrisy is on another level. When Anita called Ted a coward because he used Bill as a fixer, I almost choked on my Ritz. And Dani calling Ted worse than Bill as a husband because Bill never pretended to be a good person? Then why stay with him for decades and continue to kiss up to him, Dani? I was glad when Bill told Anita he wouldn't be her punching bag. Not for me. I can think of 100 other actors who would have smoking hot chemistry with LB. Lindstrom does not. I see zero chemistry. None. Joey isn't sexy or scary.   -- Mona was awesome today. -- Why was Eva playing cards in the back room of the casino? -- Can they make Anita any more sanctimonious and self-righteous? -- Dani said Anita had Ted shook. LOL. Really?       No. But I see what you're trying to do. This is a SOAP OPERA. Characters HAVE to make mistakes and sin and screw up and cheat. That's the deal. I understand the concern that we have 2 leading Black men who have cheated on their wives. I do. But I also understand that this is SOAPS 101. Are we going to hear complaints every time a Black character messes up???    
    • Gone are the days where at least once every week, a character would pull a gun on someone (Ron you really turned gun violence into a joke on this show)
    • Oooooo I like these. I like we are on the same page about Little Brownie Man. And I hope to remember this at the end of June to see how much of it came to pass. I definitely feel that the Eva vs Kat story is about to reaaaally get going.    As for the B/C stories, it's funny you mentioned the Joey/Vanessa/Doug story first. Because out of all of those, it is the only one that has enough structure and build to it that it could keep going as a B story that could eventually climax. I think the only POV we don't have in it is Joey's at this point because Month 2 put in the work to give us Doug's and Vanessa's and they are now circling each other and their relationship. And we still need to know Joey's endgame.   Why we gotta pick on Jacob and Naomi? We need that goody good couple. lol. They talked about how they got together. Mind you, very briefly. But we do need to know a little bit more about both. Something I was hoping we were getting by having them in their own stories....him with the crooked cop, her with the lawsuit...but it didn't turn out as hoped. Hopefully, that won't be the case with June though.   Yeah, I want to see more of THAT Ashley.  I finally had to break down and explain to my manager why I keep laughing every time I see the bottle of Febreze at work. The product placement definitely be working.
