I have to agree with soapfan. The Jennifer/Craig hook-up was totally out-of-character, plot-driven nonsense. However, it did lead to one of ATWT's last great storylines, the Jennifer/Gwen baby switch....so all is forgiven.

The FauxLily/Teen Mike Kasnoff romp however is totally indefensible.

On Coronation Street, Tracy Barlow, the world's most ridiculous self-parody seduced brothers David Platt and Nick Tilsley (not at the same time). Why? Well, I have no idea, other than she must have been desperate. This led to a story where she told everyone about it in the local pub, was bashed over the head after she left, and for about ten seconds several members of the family were suspects (none of them were the culprit). Just stupid trash, an imitation of a bad primetime soap. I can't help wondering if the show planned a "who the daddy" story that got killed.

Plus it was pretty sick, Jennifer had been fighting with Mike and Barbara and Craig was thinking about Bryant. I'd forgot about Lily and Mike, wow ugh. Same goes with the Holden/Carly crapola that same summer.

I mentioned Devon/Tyra earlier but Y&R has a had a plethora of dumb one night stands in recent years like Chance/Heather or Ryder/Jana for pointless plot-driven moments.

Wait what? When did this happen? Oh yeah, I remember now it was when Zach and Greenlee were in that stupid hole together. lol.

I think Babe sleeping with Jaime the first night she was in town was dumb. The reason was just so stupid. It would have been better for story purposes if Babe and Jaime first slept together when they were on the run in early 05'.

The one night stand that has lasted an eternity...or it seems like it anyway.

Billy/Sharon was another I still don't get, other than someone thinking a three-way WTD story was going to bring in viewers, or who wanted Jack to be cuckolded, yet again.

    • This is (maybe) overly simplistic and nonsoapy, but Doug needs to go to Gamblers Anonymous, to deal with the addictive neurological excitement hits that gambling gives him - and which control his life. Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her.
    • YT keeps commending GL clips to me. I discovered Kathleen Cullen was on in Christmas 1987. Was there any talk of making it permanent  or was this just a special visit? I wish they had made the visit permanent. I liked her chemistry with Grant Aleksander.  
    • 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. This is where I wish I knew Roger's history better.

    • 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.
