Moments that made you change the channel

OLTL: Ford making out with his mentally ill rape victim in a padded cell, while they're both wearing nun costumes, while an actual BLIND 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.

LOL at Luke and Noah's bed-jumping. But I can top that. Remember when Cyndi Lauper came to Oakdale to see her adoring crowds of about seven people? I am NOT a Jake Silberman basher at all, but the scenes of him trying to dance made me long for Elaine Benes on "Seinfeld". That boy didn't have one iota of rhythm in his body.

I don't think I've ever changed/turned off the channel, but I've cringed through plenty of stuff...

Jack's rape and subsequent "rescue" on ATWT---it's sad that Sheffer is such a twisted puppy the "hero" he chose to rescue Jack was Craig (and the idiot Simon), who was more concerned that Julia stole his newly detailed car than the fact Jack nearly drowned in it.

Jack and JuliaII screwing while Carly's televised plea to find him played on a tv in the background

Paul burying Sophie in the rose garden, and then marrying Meg over it

Coop's death on GL...I know it was supposed to be heartbreaking, but I found it nauseating.

A lot of Coop/Ashlee's "romance".

Anything Cyrus/"G"

B&B---anything Pam/"Catwalk" related.

The Brooke/Ollie sex.

Y&R---Phyllis getting in anyone's face. I think she's a disgusting character and MS seems really artificial to me.

Victor's sex scenes. *shiver* *runs for brain bleach*

in general---singing and the characters being "interviewed" and/or some appeal (like when a child's missing). I just find them incredibly fake moments, no matter who does them.

Singing on any of the Soaps, I instantly change the channel.

Typically when any of the teens are on One Life

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.

I agree, Carl, particularly the rape of Jack, who was actaully a character I could take or leave. I was gobsmacked that P&G ever allowed that plotline. It was without a doubt the most disgusting, irresponsible plot I ever witnessed on a soap, and I have been watching since the mid-60's. It was typical of the Goutman/Sheffer immature fratboy mentality. I suppose they found it a hot fantasy, but it was so disrespectful, especially since many do not take male abuse/rape seriously.

Another sequence that I found very disturbing and difficult to watch was Julie's rape by Larry Atwood on Days of our Lives in February 1978. Those scenes were quite graphic for the era, especially as Julie fought him very realistically before being overcome.

Rape really pushes my buttons. It is so personal. I think it has to be taken very seriously and played responsibly.

I hope you don't watch OLTL. They portray rape as fun for the victim and have them fall in love with their rapists.

oh my god..it's "Say Not Our Soap" not "Say No to Ur Soap"!!!!! wow.

Also, I had to change the channel on GH when someone with the same face as Nikolas raped Emily. BARF.

Are you making fun of me? :lol:

  • Member

No!! What do you mean?

I literally just noticed that.

LOL, I made the same post a few weeks ago, I thought I was the only one who had that *durrr* moment. Matter fact, I think someone responded that they thought the same thing about a week ago. :D

GH:

When Vanessa Marcil's new face returned :wacko:

Emmys:

When Laura Wright was able to add Emmy Winner to her resume, with me knowing that now both Laura AND Vanessa had Emmy's and Robin Christopher has none :rolleyes:<_<
