Members DeeeDee Posted September 1, 2016 Members Share Posted September 1, 2016 Every soap in television history has tons of classic moments over the years but since soaps are now a dying breed those moments are almost non-existent. What current moments on your soaps (current as in the last 15-20 years) do you feel qualify as true classic soap moments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 1, 2016 Members Share Posted September 1, 2016 ATWT: Lily finding out that Ivy and not Lucinda was her mother. ATWT: Connor taking Walsh Enterprises away from Lucinda. ATWT: James returning from the dead…."Hello Barbara" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cruising Soaps Posted September 1, 2016 Members Share Posted September 1, 2016 The first one that comes to me is Sheila crossing over to B&B from Y&R Also Cassie's Death had huge impacts, that still feed story today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted September 1, 2016 Members Share Posted September 1, 2016 It's sad if you said 1996 and earlier, I would have at least 5 per show. But right now, this is what I can think of from the last 15 to 20 years. GH- Liz finding Carly in the panic room. I'm not even a big fan of the characters, but I remember it vividly, and it was a true cliffhanger. Y&R- Jill and Katherine fighting in the attic. GH- Luke finds Laura on the dock and tells her Lucky died in the fire. AMC- Jesse and Angie reunite at the train station. DAYS- Will has his first kiss with another man.

Members Y&R21395 Posted September 2, 2016 Members Share Posted September 2, 2016 B&B - Morgan kidnapping Steffy, Massimo revealed as Ridge's father, and Taylor's 2002 'death' were the last times I can ever recall being enthralled by B&B. Home and Away - Sally Fletcher stabbed and left for dead at the end of the 2006 cliffhanger. Y&R - Cassie's death, Tom and Sheila's reign of terror, and John's death are really the end of classic Y&R for me. Part of me wants to mention Dru, but that send-off was...awful.

Members Scrapple Posted September 2, 2016 Members Share Posted September 2, 2016 ATWT: "Hello, Barbara" Duncan goes to the police station after getting a call to come get "Mrs. McKechnie" but instead of finding Jessica, sees the long-dead Shannon. Lisa's engagement party, where John (on video) completely destroys Lisa. B&B: Sheila's first appearance ...the best soap crossover ever Dark Shadows: Victoria Winters is hung in 1795....then reappears in a seance in the present.

Members soapfan770 Posted September 2, 2016 Members Share Posted September 2, 2016 Last Classic soap moments?? 15 years? Well I'll start with a few for sure: ATWT: Jack and Carly's 2003 wedding Rose's killer being Will Jennifer/Dusty relationship B&B: The Forrester/Spectra fashion in Portofino where Macy was revealed alive Deacon and Macy's wedding turned WWE Sheila's 2002 return Storm's suicide and Katie getting his heart Steffy's motorcycle accident in 2013 Days(oh boy this is hard!): Bo and Hope giving up JT but learning Zach is their real son Both presumed dead Jack and Steve show up together at Frankie and Jennifer's wedding alive and well Sami learns the truth about about Sydney and Grace Caroline switched Chloe's paternity test(this was later retconned for no reason but I found it a great twist at the time). GL: Reva pulls the plug on Richard Springfield learns that Roger had died Dinah impersonates Cassie Billy and Vanessa get remarried(I never expected it all!) Y&R: The Tuvia/Safra wars between Jabot and Newman ending up in catastrophe for Ashley Kevin is Michael's brother Isabella shows up alive while Christine bathes Michael and Lauren's wedding Katherine's faux funeral which was really Marge's Sharon burns down the Newman ranch(best moment for me on Y&R in the 2010's) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 2, 2016 Members Share Posted September 2, 2016 This is a bit tough, because I watched Days and Passions when most of these last classic moments took place, and have only seen clips of most of the Y&R/B&B ones, but if I had to choose based on 2000-onwards I'm gonna say.Y&R:Nikki and Diane's catfight at JabotVictoria slapping VictorJohn Punching VictorKatherine's meltdown over finding out she's Jill's "mother"(as loathed as all that was)Nikki and Victor's 02 weddingKay and Jill's fire/hose fightSheila's 05 reign of terror(the catfight on the Yacht and the boat exploding)Michael and Lauren's wedding(Last classic Y&R wedding)Cassie's DeathB&B:Macy's "death"Morgan's reign of terrorStephanie's "that no halo!!" speech to Brooke, LOLSheila's 2002 reign of terror (Shooting Brooke and Taylor)Brooke and Stephanie's slap fest 05Days:Greta's CoronationSami's Vegas non-WeddingSalem Serial Killer (the earlier parts)Sami exposing Kate on Lucas' BirthdayKate exposing Sami at her wedding to LucasSami and Carrie's cake fight (I"M GONNA KILL YOU!!!)Passions:Prom Boat DisasterSheridan's "Death"Ethan proposes to Theresa at Midnight Mass/Luis and Sheridan reunite at Christmas 2000Ethan's Paternity exposedIvy crashing the double weddingTheresa's "execution"Eve's past coming out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
