Rape makes the list 3 times!

[John]

Is there a link? Thanks.

[AllMyDaysatGH]

Agreed. It was amazing (the reveal that Marlena was the killer). That mess turned my whole world around. I didn't see it coming! (I was 10, LOL)

How is rape ever a "great" moment?

[~bl~]

This was in a print magazine first...it isn't on TVGuide.com yet.

[Angela]

They obviously don't mean all these moments were great feel-good moments. They mean they were great in terms of story-telling, acting, effect and drama.

[ChitHappens]

Karen's testimony should be #1! No longer interested:(

[AllMyDaysatGH]

I know, I know

[Cheap21]

Dang, too bad RC didn't get any on there

1. Victor rapes Marty

2. Ford rapes Jessica

3. Kate recounts her rape

4. Sam learns that she was raped

5. Franco proves that he didn't rape Sam nor was he responsible for Michael's rape

[DramatistDreamer]

Didn't see Steve and Betsey's wedding (ATWT). Hmph.

[dragonflies]

wtf is with the one about Margo euthanizing Casey? why would she do that???

[Eric83]

Franco's return to GH played by Todd Manning should have been #1 damnit!

Casey was going to be a vegetable, which he desperately wanted to avoid. He had not had time to prepare a living will and he knew his wife (Margo's mother) and parents would not do it. Before he went into a coma, he begged Margo, as she was the only one he knew would take him off life support. She did.

It's Casey Peretti, her step-dad who was married to her mother Lyla and who fathered Katie. He was dying and she helped him. Margo's son with Tom, Casey, was named after him.

[DRW50]

I don't believe Ridge being Massimo's son has any business on that list (it was a stunt with no real long-term consequences - how many people who have watched B&B in the last five years would even know who the hell Massimo was?), nor should David's forehead, which was just a boring, silly story, for the most part.

I'm glad they included Felicia's intervention. I wasn't expecting that.
