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?

Will on ATWT killed Rose when he was like 14.

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 can't believe I forgot about this. "She's a bitch, a whore, and a homewrecker!" was basically my favorite Matthew scene.

Wasn't it someone that Beth was seeing?

And didn't Cassie's son Will kill someone - or was he just screwed up?

Radio Matthew is too raw at 4:15!

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.

GH When Michael as a kid tried to suffocate AJ with a pillow. I think the network made Pratt rewrite that, but he was suppose to be the one who killed him.

DAYS: A young Erik von Detten as Nikki Alamain killed the failed Lisanne Gardner (Lynn Herring).

OMG, yes. I think you're right about Alonzo, that rings a bell for sure. Will had potential, the actor was a creepy !@#$%^&*] lol. Lizzie's imaginary friend Carl was damn good too. Wow.

While it was determined to be a lie by Alistair, Sheridan thought she killed her aunt Rachel when she was like 5 on Passions.

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.

Young Rick Forrester shot and almost killed Grant Chambers.

Wasn't there a murderous child on Love is a Many Splendored Thing?

David Collins tried to murder his father Roger on Dark Shadows.
