Members cassadine1991 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Can't believe this May would be 20 years since BJ's death, i hope GH mentions and honors it, yet I I know they are going to !@#$%^&*] it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Vanessa and Maureen ... One of my favorite soap female friendships. Two strong women that genuinely cared for one another. I loved when Vanessa read Lillian and made her take her ass in that house post funeral. Nessa don't play!

Members DRW50 Posted February 23, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 The speech that Linda Dano gave when Brent Collins died just about broke me. That Stephen Schnetzer was clearly too upset to speak didn't help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 I usually cry more when the actor actually dies in real life, like Josh Ryan Evans as Timmy and of course Jeanne, but honestly Stephanie's death on B&B really choked me up, and for all it's flaws B&B did a very good job with Stephanie's death.

Members ellabelle Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 AMC: Mona, especially when Erica fell apart at the gravesite and Bianca looked so horrified. I cried during Palmer's memorial too. Laura's death was before my time, but I cried watching it on YT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EnglishTea Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 He apparently was big on irony - his character died on Passions the same day the actor died in real life. I felt that B&B didn't construct unique ways for Stephanie to deliver the news to the other characters. Her Irish heritage was never played up on the show, and suddenly it was part of the fabric of the character. It felt like stunt casting with the Celtic Woman. Brad should have eaten some crow, and asked Ronn Moss' Ridge back, and Stephanie should have died with Eric, Ridge and Brooke surrounding her... the three characters that greatly defined her character as well as the four original cast members. For me, her death was less effective/effecting to me than the two days when she got the fatal diagnosis, which were played on such a true level of what happens in the moments when someone is given such news from a doctor.

Members YRfan23 Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 His death is probably the most eeriest soap death, and even as a kid it stunned me as just having watching the same episode where he did died, I don't think i gave a thought that Timmy was actually gonna die on the show.....at the time Passions had become so predictable that i probably thought that little light bulb that held Timmy's life support would fade back on during the next episode...... yeah I agree some of those things with Stephanie's heritage was OTT, but I guess I was moved more by the actors performances, mainly the scene where Stephanie says to everyone at her party "this is the last time I'm gonna see you all" and everyone breaks into sobs and she gives them all goodbyes.....that really got me the most, but I admit her death scene with Brooke didn't make me too emotional.

Members juppiter Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Laura on Knots Landing. Not the overly dramatic funeral two-parter. When she drove off and said "Hold on." OMG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Mostly the ones that happen in real life that are written into the show, like Doug Watson (AW), John Beradino (GH), etc. The one that was written in because the actress chose to leave that made me cry was Amy Perkins Wallace (Kerry Sherman), Santa Barbara. It was the end of a well-written love story between two terrific characters, played by two solid actors (hence my screen name). Plus, in those early days, characters who died on SB stayed dead...unless they were named Eden and Mason Capwell. LOL The only upside was that the fallout of Amy's death gave Richard Eden such meaty material to work with that he earned an Emmy nomination.

Members EnglishTea Posted February 23, 2014 Members Share Posted February 23, 2014 Ruth Warrick/Phoebe Wallingford and James Mitchell/Palmer Cortlandt were both sad because the actors had passed in real life, but oddly, even though the memorial/funeral scenes made be tear up, I was so transfixed on how those singular shows felt so much more like the AMC I had grown up watching that the joyous feelings of nostalgia outweighed the sadness.
