What was the first death you remember on a soap opera? Either natural causes, or accident, or a murder, whatever.

I've forgotten a few but I think the first I remember is Casey Peretti on ATWT.

The first one I remember making a big impression on me was Mona Kane Tyler's death.

Cindy Parker Chandler (do we have to add all surnames?! ) on All My Children.

Maria Santos. That was especially heart breaking because she had just gotten her baby back.

I might have my timelines wrong but maybe Ray Gardner on GH, or perhaps Susan Moore is probably more likely from GH. Then Dr Jerrold GH, Natalie GH..there were a lot of deaths thanks to their action stories. Packy on GH. Then on EoN I watched back to back murders of Nicole and that evil maid whose name I forget but she was just as mean as can be. The maid died first actually, making Nicole's a real shocker.

Molly Sherwood?

My first soap death i remember i was 4 years old, and it was the classic clip of Sheila "accidently" knocking that guy off the balcony on B&B

Nora Fulton was the evil maid. I remember her death vividly. I wish there were HQ clips from that time.

Cindy Parker Chandler (do we have to add all surnames?! ) on All My Children.

Yes, we do Actually maybe I saw Helga tumble to her death before Mona...

The Funeral of Mona Kane Tyler or was it the death of Natalie Marlowe Hunter Cortlandt Chandler Dillon who died first ???

Natalie.

Philip Chancellor after Kay drove him off the cliff.

The first death I remember seeing for sure was Jessica Blair on Y&R but my memory is a bit blurry on that one. First death I saw that really shook me up was Daniel St. John on GL.

Maureen Bauer on Guiding Light
