Prime Time Episode of Daytime soaps in the 90's

[aMLCproduction]

Back in the 90's a few soaps aired a few primetime episdoes. Days aired three I think and Y&R aired a few it self I want to know which soap aired the better episoe and which soap utlized it's night time outing the most.

I remeber in one episode of Y&R They did a who shot Victor Newman. It turned out to be Mari Jo.

On Days they had one called Winter Heat, and a few others. I think one was even called "One stormy Night"

I know Port CHarles debuted in primtime.

Didnt AW mhave a prime time outing?

Were there any soaps of the 70's or 80's that aired in primetime?

general hospital had one titled 'twist of fate'! i believe katherine might have been shot at the end but not so sure.

The three from Days were:

1. One Stormy Night

2. Night Sins (where Jarlena got together on the conference table at Titan and Sami caught them)

3. Winter Dreams (Vivian imagines having a lobotomy in this one)

I think AW had one called Fire & Ice--could have just been a promo, though, it's on an old tape of mine from 1993.

OLTL had one in 1998 when Todd held half of Llanview hostage up at either Viki or Asa's cabin to figure out who killed Georgie Phillips.

Loving premiered on ABC in 1983 as a two-hour made-for-TV movie.

I believe Another World's 1992 primetime episode was titled "Summer Desire."

I think AMC's 25th anniversary special was a primetime event.

I had no idea OLTL did one. Wow. I vaguely remeber the GH "Twist of Fate" title

[DRW50]

The OLTL episode was an episode filmed for daytime and then bumped up to primetime in a hurry, just to fill a gap or whatever, or because the soaps had been preempted that day. They added on a "film look," which Marlena de la Croix or someone else said looked like it had been dipped in dirty bathwater.

GH also had a "primetime" episode around this same time.

Sunset Beach aired a primetime episode! But it was just redit of the Poseidon Adventure portion of its Shockwave storyline. Damn, I miss Sunset Beach... tomorrow marks 12 years since its last episode aired. *weeps*

Thankks Carl. Dirty Bath water !! LOL

I miss Sube too

[MissLlanviewPA]

WOW. I seriously had no idea, as this was before I started watching the show. I thought it was a legit primetime episode that JFP strong armed ABC into doing or something .

My poor red headed stepchild soap. I'll always love it, even if it's network, for some unknown reason, didn't. That makes the dirty bathwater comment a little bittersweet to me.

'twist of fate' was in late 97 and focused mainly on the cassadines and had stefan shooting katherine, i think!

[DRW50]

Twist of Fate was November 1996, I think.

Y&R had several primetime episodes - one in 1996 I remember even though I never saw it, as I read about Peter Bergman and Don Diamont showing their asses (Bergman wasn't exactly thrilled about this as Diamont was a Greek god). A year later they had another, which I think had a big gala party Victor threw for Diane, which Nikki gleefully ruined by casually telling everyone that she and her husband planned to have a baby.

I wanna say Y&R has four. I have a DVD with all of them. The first daytime soap in primetime was Return To Peyton Place, which is fitting considering it's a continuation of a primetime soqp.
