Bizarre soap scenes

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).

    • I'm not sure it's as unpopular as you think.  I just think the show knew they were in a bind, and needed a proven couple for the viewers to invest in. Trying to reunite Vanessa and Ross had just failed in 87. I don't think Ed and Holly's affair was well received, as Simon and Garrett had a brother/sister chemistry. Enter Billy and Vanessa, who give you history and an out not to try and do a Josh/Reva/Billy triangle, which would've really wrecked the relationship between Josh and Billy. I'd have been ok with trying Vanessa/Ross again, and doing a Vanessa/Ross/Holly/Billy quad for a while. I hated Nadine. HATED. She had to be the most insufferable also-ran before ATWT's Julia Lindsay.
    • GROSS. Michael Swan was hot back in his ATWT days. Now he's 76 and WAY past his hot years.    
    • Since she kidnapped, locked up and tried to kill her father's wife I'd say that is still a pretty big deal
    • I'm good with the gushing, too. There aren't many soap icons like John Black, and that's important to celebrate and remember. And yes, life does go on for other characters, but as they say, timing is everything. Going sky diving the day before the funeral? And during a week of shows that were so powerful emotionally? No.    
    • No. There might have been a slight pause for dramatic effect after his "death," but pretty soon after they showed him in France getting plastic surgery and getting involved with his doctor, then planning with her to bring Christina to France. (She thought he had good reason to do it; she wasn't a bad person or anything). Now that I think of it, there must have been some kind of pause before that, during the 70s. Rita was accused of killing a private patient for an inheritance when she lived in Texas. Part of the backstory was that Roger had been there, too. Not sure exactly when or how long that was.
    • I've already stated that I don't like Doug being written as this meek and submissive. It was so lame watching him leave her like that. Vanessa can divorce him, but she then needs to get her thot ass into therapy. She's not only having sex with every guy she runs into, but is now having  sex with a skeevy perv on a poker table. I'm going to give the BTG some credit here. For months, many on this board were delighting in the Vanessa/Joey flirting and what they saw as chemistry. I think we're now seeing what the writers always intended -- that Joey is a disgusting POS wannabe mobster.
    • John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.
