Bizarre soap scenes


Recommended Posts

Some scenes on soaps are deliberately strange, like "gothic" stories, or nightmares, or fantasies. Other moments aren't supposed to be that at all and somehow stumble onto absurdity. Are there any moments you remember watching and thinking, "What was that?"

The one I most remember is during the horrible, make-it-up-as-we-go-along Diego murder "mystery" on ATWT. Emily Stewart, one of the suspects, randomly stole Diego's corpse and went on a joyride! Yes, a joyride. I believe we even saw her driving the car, with Diego's corpse in the backseat, and she was doing that hysterical laugh/shriek Kelly Menighan Hensley was so fond of. It was totally out of place on ATWT and just went along with how ludicrous the whole story was.

Definitely the flying bed on Days of Our Lives. They're having a real intimate moment, a moment they're sharing for the first time, and they completely ruined it. I mean really, what the HECK were they thinking when they decided to put a green screen behind the bed and have them fly into space and land in a meadow?

    • Oh wow. After reading your post, I realized that they had "Carl Ivati" in the script AGAIN yesterday June 6.    Eva said she was reading his latest, and Tomas said "Work's been so busy, I haven't had time to get into his new series". Then Eva proceeds to tell him that "the first book is called 'Mercy and Goodness' and it's all about how the couple first met and how they got separated".   She goes on and on about how great it is. And she says she has the book in her hotel room if he wants to borrow it. She says it has twists and turns. And meanwhile Kat is snooping in Eva's room to look for the helmet and gloves, and finds the book and dismisses it as "basic". I saw that whole scene -- but I wasn't paying attention to the name of the author.  And when Tomas said the name, I heard it in his accent so I didn't hear "carlivati".  II was mainly trying to see if the acting had improved with the actor playing Tomas, and I think he has improved somewhat.   I only see it when typed out. So they had several scenes yesterday about a "Carl Ivati" book?  Barf! Well at least Kat had the good sense to dismiss it as "basic". Ron Carlivati wrote the breakdown yesterday!   Featuring himself in it! Addressing to the collective "you" whoever you may be: Some of you, months ago, said Oh Ron is only doing breakdowns.  The story comes from MVJ, so he won't influence things, you said. May 27 started it, with Christopher Dunn breakdown and Lynn Martin script. But they didn't need to continue it June 6 with Carlivati breakdown and Jazmen Darnell Brown script.
    • I was completely lost. But it is wonderful that it exists. I didn't really know Robert Mandan had done soaps...well, besides SOAP.
    • Jack and Jennifer are tired. I just don't care about them when they return. They add nothing to the show.
    • Did they really bring back Jack and Jennifer for Jack to prop up Leo and Jenn to serve as an obstacle to Chad/Cat? Are we sure Ron still isn't in the building?
    • We can only hope that they finally kill off Leo too 
    • We can only hope that maybe the new writers might read this.
    • You can get so many storylines from a Will/Sonny/Paul/Andrew/Dimitri mess And I'm sure Colton would do a great job

    • Sounds interesting. Too bad we never got that story.
    • Not to go too off topic but if you ever want to see more of his Search run just look for SFT Summer of 1966 on Youtube.
