Which soap psycho/criminal had the most ridiculous path to “redemption”?

Didn't Franco have something to do with Sam almost getting blown up at Sonny and Brenda's wedding too?  I know it was Balkan related but I remember him (James Franco) calling Jason afterwards to taunt him? 

 

I would personally say Sonny because he actually has never be 'redeemed' except maybe in the early 90's via Brenda's love/Stone.   Gh has never felt he did anything wrong, which is more egregious than at least admitting someone is a bad guy then redeeming him.

This was a strange one, not sure if it counts as redemption in the long run but Annie Dutton on GL hired Johnnie Cochran to represent her in court and got her charges dismissed and dropped, leading to a few months of Annie being a little less zany before her strange exit story.

Yup, she even ended up moving into the building for a while, sadly not much was done with it except for a brief interaction with Matt explaining that he didn't exactly want to be her friend. Not even Alison seemed to flinch much that the woman who blinded her was around.

Todd (OLTL), Jack (DAYS) and Kevin (Y&R) - never bought any of it. 

EJ (DAYS) - still the ick feeling, but JS pretty much towered over the other male leads on DAYS that you couldn't help but like him.

 

Redeemed believable: Michael Baldwin served time in prison (4 years off-screen), his transformation wasn't instant/kept his shady side and they didn't try to make him some romantic lead. It was definitely a work-in-progress.

It was bizarre when they had the law practice together - but it was clear that CLB and LLB worked really well together. At least Michael was still shady aka bringing Isabella to town and then having it blow up in his face. Michael's 'redemption' took almost a decade from the arrest to being acceptable.  It wasn't some overnight thing.

Not that she really counts that much of a villain because it was just bad and cartoonish, but Quinn B&B.  Shoves Ivy off of a bridge, engineers what it takes to put Wyatt and Hope together in the process, basically stalks Hope while she was pregnant and was the reason her own grandchild was lost when Hope took the tumble down the back patio stairs, welded a sword to kill Liam and Wyatt stopped her, kidnapped Liam while he had amnesia and played Adam and Eve with him for several months, shoved Deacon off a cliff, and it was alluded that she killed the guy in Mexico to get the Hope for the Future Diamond...and I'm sure I'm forgetting other things. 

 

She dates Eric, he declares in his Sean Connory voice that "She'sh a changed Pershon, people can change, and she'sh a changed PERSHON".  And that was that.

    • I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.

    • And here I thought I'd never think about Lauren Tewes again after her brief appearance in Twin Peaks Season 3.
    • I may be the single person who does not mind Transatlantic Campy Pamela. I think it perfectly suits this sort of Absolutely Fabulous-esque supporting character she's playing much more than it did when Cady tried weird and often broad stuff at AMC* or Y&R, or later stints at ATWT. She's not Dixie and she's not trying to be. I will freely admit some of the other chances she took at other shows often came off stiff, hammy or downright mortifying (Kelly Andrews, come on down). (* - and I say that as one of the few who was somewhat into Cady trying to make Dixie more cosmopolitan in the Rosanna Cabot mold in mid-2000s AMC, just to liven the character up again)
    • There’s absolutely nothing exciting happening storyline wise but I’m always happy to see the vets on my screen so I’ll take what I can get. It’s also just nice to see them all dressed up in the same room, it always gives classic Y&R vibes. The best part? No Phyllis.

    • Well now we had Ashley's reaction-and weren't we all gasping when she appeared to hate it-but she was just joking!! She loved it. Now we have to see Abby's reaction, and maybe Mamie could come back to say she loves it. How about Jill via Zoom giving her opinion (she'll love it) and bring in a day player to play Mrs Martinez to say she loves it also... I feel bad to keep dumping on this show (not really) but when the choices they make are so inane, it's the only entertainment value the show has. Let's unpack the Nikki birthday story. So Claire wants to throw her Nana a birthday bash as away of endearing Kyle to Victor. Don't quite get the logic there,but OK. She hires a party planner who makes ridiculous suggestions. Slightly annoyed that Y&R are hiring someone for this role for 5 episodes when we never see doctors, co- workers etc. But OK to that to. With all the talk we are expecting something special. What we get is the Jazz Lounge hideously decorated with some ugly tablecloths and a few tacky decorations. They needed a planner for this? Then the guest list consists of family members (no grandchildren)and a few others. Hardly a party. As usual the costuming is pretty awful. A red and black theme ? And our guest of honor is sporting a do that looks like a cross between Cameron Diaz in Something about Mary and Marie from Roxette. They should have had an intimate dinner and ditched all the fanfare. Would have been way more believable.

    • Her accent sounds horrible and doesn't fit in line with the character or the dialogue. I was just messing around on YouTube and perusing early Tad and Dixie videos. Notably, Dixie, a resident of Pigeon Hollow, West Virginia, has no discernible accent. i have no idea why she would add a defunct accent to this character now. I want to do an honest survey here. I watch BTG every day and I love it. It's not perfect, but I find it 99% entertaining. For those that find fault with it - what is actually bothering you? I'm not going to argue at all, or disagree with you. I just want to know what others are seeing that I'm not.
    • It's a choice and today, she made it more British than ever before. It's almost like she's making Pamela act like how she thinks she should be acting.
