Which ones can you think of?

Probably the most famous would be Y&R's Stolen Sperm Saga, which slithered around for about a year and involved leading ladies cat fighting over sperm. It didn't go over so swimmingly with the soap press and fans to this day gag when they think of it.

Another one I remember is on B&B when Deacon was paralyzed and Bridget was giving him physical therapy. It gave him a boner which they both celebrated. Personally I liked it and found it pretty titillating but it was definitely awkward.

I see there was quite a discussion surrounding my comment about why or why not Chris Engen departed the role of Adam.

Whatever the reason behind it, I see there is a clear consensus.... notwithstanding that business, the character is disgusting.

I had totally forgotten he burned Ashley's fetus.....

That's right up there as far as gross moments go.

Liza and Ryan (AMC) having sex in the bushes I could have done without as well.

I thought the storyline where Krystal, Simone and Liza decided to "share" Tad on AMC was repulsive. There was one scene where Liza showed up at Tad's house and patiently waited for Krystal (who had spent the night) to put her clothes back on. Once Krystal was gone, Liza led Tad back into the bedroom for a little afternoon delight. Eww. It says a lot when Krystal "Lab Tech BJ" Carey was the first to recover some sense of dignity and bow out of this farce. AMC played the whole thing for laughs with a little wink and nod to Tad's "Tad the Cad" days, but those days were long over.

The original sperm switch storyline with Adam, Liza and Jake also belongs on this list. Adam and Liza were still a popular couple at the time and why McTavish felt it necessary to have him violate her that way was beyond me.

Right. I don't know how he feels, and he's long gone from the show anyway, but I have always had an issue with much of this controversy being based on Nellie Olsen, who at that time seemed to be (to me anyway, just my opinion) in full propaganda mode for MAB, complete with attempts to make people see Jess Walton as a diva (which no one has ever called her, before or since) right at the time MAB reportedly wanted her replaced with Mel Harris.

Isn't this shortly before TVGuide Canada finally fired him? He definitely (for a good year actually) seemed to go into full on crazy-self-destruct mode, and I assume they finally paid attention.

I don't remember that. Was it as bad as Liza and Zack on the pool table before exchanging names? When did this happen?

For some reason I always thought that was one of Broderick's big misfire stories... Hrmm

And yes, the Tad the Cad retread was just dumb--it worked fine for the funny (i thought) fan--feb episode, but...

WHAT!

I believe it was right after Gillian died.

WHAT!

what part?

I believe it was right after Gillian died.

What about, under Passanante's brilliant pen, when we got the apparently meant to be both comic AND touching story of ghost Gillian posessing Opal so that she could have sex with Ryan?

How about Lizzie and Mel's brother having sex on the park district outhouse floor while under a memory erasing formula from Alan...(I kid you not...)

Every love/sex scene with Buzz was gross but the grossest was the scene where his kid died (finally a Cooper bites the dust) and snot is coming from his nose for minutes.

He snotted all over Fiona Hutchison when Jenna died, too.

Memory erasing formula? What on earth did I miss during those Peapack years? I thought all they did was listen to Starbucks music while meandering around in open fields.

That was one of those special ITL episodes before it was announced that GL would be filming in Peapack regularly. That said this episode was done in the new style, oh and it also was the precursor to Beth and Coop. Basically the episode was one of Coop's stories supposedly and everyone was acting out his random characters.

How about a gross incompetence moment?

Jack throwing the chair out of the Newman office window...What if someone got hit?

During the Labine year of OLTL, Todd (when he lived with his parrot in his penthouse) at least once was angry and spitting out of his window at people passing by. I think I'd be more upset to be hit by that...

Yeah, Liza & Ryan f-ckiong in the bushes was under Passanante. I remember that well...... unfortunately. *BARF*

It always amazes me that Passanante continues to work.

But it was so AWESOME! I forgive that kind of stuff when the moment is so good.
