Youngest killers on soaps.


Recommended Posts

Today's DAYS has me wondering what young soap characters have killed someone (let's say before they reached adulthood), whether it be in self-defense, by accident or intentional.

Of course there's GH's Michael who killed Claudia when he was a teen. What other soap characters became killers while only in their teens or even younger?

Lizzie Spaulding on GL killed... somebody. She was played by Hayden Panettiere at the time and was maybe eight or nine.

Teenaged Matthew on OLTL killed Eddie Ford, but not before calling someone - I think it was Nate - to tell him his mother was a whore. That was hilarious, but a wonderful performance by Eddie Alderson.

OLTL had wanted the very, very young Al Holden to kill Carlo Hesser in 1992 - I think he was about six or seven - but ABC vetoed it.

I think Will almost killed Edmund. They literally hired the little boy from the Omen remake to come play the exact same role with the name changed. Oh, and I believe he actually did kill his bio-dad! Alonzo! Right? Anyway, they wasted that storyline completely. That could've gone places but they wrapped it up in a month or two by sending him off to some institution or something. That kid wasn't much of a performer back then, he mostly just gave people scary looks and chilled out the rest of the time, but he does some Wes Anderson movies now and has grown into an okay young actor.

Lizzie killed Beth's abusive boyfriend, Carl, then had him as her imaginary friend. The best part of that story was when she was having a tea party, and I think the first time we saw imaginary him was when he was beside her,drinking tea.

Lawrence Alamain grew up thinking he had killed his younger brother Forrest when he was around 6 years old. It turned out that Forrest lived and was John Black. I am not sure how the last rewrite under Hogan Scheffer changed that, since I had stopped watching the show at that point. I am not sure if Forrest is still considered alive, or if John was ever Forrest.

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
