Bizarre soap scenes


Recommended Posts

I think Bransford played the part about as well as possible, considering the character was just an insta-crazy, but like a lot of this time on OLTL, it was all so monstrously OTT (this was also around the time of Nora's drunken bar raging/hair-chopping and Todd with the fake dynamite).

Sandra P. Grant was just awful; the scenes at the start look like they're going to chest bump.

Back in the mid 70's Althea on The Doctors was mixed up with a married man - Bernie McInnery played him. His nutso wife was played by the great Lois Smith. Her character would force everyone to listen to her poetry which was as bizzare as anything I'd ever heard on a soap. It provided great laughs. She talked about putting her eyes into a pin box and watching Liz Hubbard struggle to keep a straight face was funny.

I sadly remember that ATWT during the Diego murder mystery. Still can't believe they ruined Kirk for that! I remember the Luke and Noah jumping scene too, that was a bizarre storyline itself. I could never figure what was up with Ameera or the Colonel or whatever the hell that story was about.

Lilith presenting Shannon's shrunken head to Duncan was a pretty bizarre scene too.

For Days scenes yeah those awful Mike and Carrie's flying bed scenes are pretty up there even for Days(think Possession) but out of all the WTF moments to come out of SSK this was it:

Sorry I know there's a better quality video out there, but it pretty much sums it up. Of course with Days there the number of bizarre scenes is limitless. happy.png

For B&B, can I go with this? This was after Katie got her heart transplant from Storm, but thought she was pregnant and dying at the time from heart failure:

Marlena falling from a Penthouse patio, bouncing off the awning, falling on Sami and surviving. DAYS is the best for bizarre scenes (fun bizarre, not shockingly bad bizarre, like the BnB):

Grant's death scenes (he dies of a cancer with a 99% cure rate, while Felicia comes back from a late stage 4 cancer, after she'd flatlined).

    • Thanks @JAS0N47 for the 1973-1979 pre-emptions. Interesting that there were no Christmas pre-emptions 1973-1975 and 1978. Christmas 1976 was a Saturday and Christmas 1977 was a Sunday.

    • Thanks @DRW50 for the video. I guess that is the closest we will get to pre-1979 Roger/Holly storylines.
    • Yeah that's likely the case and it will all be awful.
    • I appreciate your POV and ideas here. I don't, however, trust Josh Griffith to make this anything like a good story. My guess is that much of it will be off-camera and that we'll have to be happy with Mariah retelling the nightmare in bits and pieces. Meanwhile, Tessa will still be strumming her damn guitar with Daniel. Ugh. I know I'm negative about this show. I am hate watching with every fiber of my being, and there's nothing about it that's working for me. I never recall Y&R being worse.
    • A batch of photos from Episode #67 which aired Thursday June 5 in USA. Some are scene pictures, and some are behind-the-scenes. https://www.paramountpressexpress.com/cbs-entertainment/shows/beyond-the-gates/photos?episode=25710 Posting because there's a pic of director Michael V. Pomarico; and a pic of director Steven Williford whose photo caption says "J. Steven Williford".

    • I think the gross ickiness is Josh Griffith's intention. At birth, Ian Ward stole Mariah from Sharon, so that Sharon knew only of the Cassie twin and not the Mariah twin.  Sharon gave up Cassie for adoption at birth, never knowing that Mariah existed. When Ian Ward stole baby Mariah, he had her be raised by a woman member of his cult. She grew up in his cult. Years later, after Mariah was an adult in Genoa City and had left him, he tried to kidnap her to marry him himself, I sort of remember some icky scenes where he had arranged a wedding, but she escaped or was rescued -- it was so gross that I chose to forget it, and I don't want to look up the details. Mariah is feeling traumatized/triggered by Ian Ward being in Genoa City several months ago, because he was obsessed with her, and he terrorized her loved ones, interacted with Tessa, and drugged Sharon, which ultimately resulted in the death of Heather -- causing the grief of Daniel and Lucy. None of that was Mariah's fault. But she was so horrified by what happened, that she feels she did something wrong that caused this hateful villain to continue to obsess about her.   Based on small comments that Mariah made recently, I think she feels completely worthless. I gather that when she was away on the business trip a month or two ago, all of what happened with Ian Ward and Heather's death just hit her all at once and she was mentally/emotionally collapsing, and just felt unable to call for help.  During the business trip she sat in her hotel room and spiraled more, feeling more and more worthless and afraid. Finally she started drinking at a bar, and that's when the creepy old man approached her.  By that point, she wasn't in her right mind, and started interacting with the guy.  Either she thought he was Ian, or she thought he was someone like Ian, and she would be *required* to flirt with him in a role play, and do what he commanded, almost like old programming being reactivated.  Or perhaps just simple self-loathing playing out. I don't know if the guy actually knew Ian or Jordan, or if he was a random stranger.  But Mariah's fear/loathing/subconscious chaos kicked in. And then... well that's as far as her flashbacks have aired so far. She can't bear to face the rest of whatever it was.  I gather that in the coming episodes, we'll (eventually) find out what happened next as we see more of the icky flashbacks. --------------- The rest of this post is only my speculation: I think that she felt like she was supposed to have sex with him but didn't want to, and may have tried to kill him instead. Or he r*ped her.  Or they didn't have sex at all, but it's all convoluted in her mind.  Something horrible happened but I don't think it was her fault.  If the man died, maybe she covered it up?  I really don't know, I'm just speculating ideas. At any rate, I'm totally convinced that this is NOT a conventional "cheating storyline" where someone willingly has sex outside their relationship. ----------------- This is basically Josh Griffith's obsession with dark storylines, creepy villains, and terrible writing of "mental health issues".
