Members Khan Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Better yet, soaps should wait until the child is an adult and THEN drop the bomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 I watched and enjoyed all this at the time, but re-reading it makes me wonder why Sheila had to switch babies? It would have been easier just to turn up with the black market baby and claim it was hers or was it because she wanted Scott's child in her possesion? At the time ,I thought it would have been better for Lauren not to discover that Paul had faked his death and marry Scott in her grief.Then when Paul turns up alive,Scott would wonder how deep her feelings her feelings for him really are,thus setting up tension in the Grainger marriage and making Scott vulnerable to Sheila etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 I think this best baby story I've seen(not necessarily a baby switch one) was Nina's. Tricia Cast and the late great Darlene Conley were golden in the story and it was written beautifully by William J. Bell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes! I wish the scenes of Nina holding the gun on rose were still on YT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 And then MAB had to louse it up by making Jeff Branson's waste of a character the kid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 The OLTL Jenny/Katrina switch was great. I remember when Peter Janssen was going to tell Jenny, but died in a car accident. It was a long-term story, well planned out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Wan't Tracey Bregman pregnant IRL and then miscarried? Then she had to play out the whole story including the baby' death. Or have I got that wrong? Bill Bell stated at one point (maybe after that story)that he would never kill off a baby...too painful for viewers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 Yes, Sheila's introduction was her treating Lauren for her miscarriage, then a few months later Lauren and Sheila both became pregnant with Scott etc.... Well perhaps it was after Nikki and Jack's son was stillborn because of her falling down the stairs....then again I'm sure other women has miscarriages/stillborns even after that with him at the helm...(Nina comes to mind and later Victoria) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted December 11, 2015 Members Share Posted December 11, 2015 It stayed a great mystery as to who Rose had given the baby to and what happened to it. I always wanted the story revisited but MAB totally ruined it. I don't recall if Darlene Conley was still alive when the story was brought up again. I would have been great to have her on again as evil Rose. Of course MAB would have ruined that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 12, 2015 Members Share Posted December 12, 2015 IIRC, Bill Bell had made that promise after killing off Susan Martin's baby on DAYS. However, he told SOW, he had good reasons for going back on that promise with Lauren (although I cannot remember what those reasons were). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 12, 2015 Members Share Posted December 12, 2015 The 1989 OLTL baby switch Gabrielle pulled with Michael Grande's dead son and Brenda McGillis' living son, from what I've seen of it on YT, is pretty good, if only because of Fiona.
