I posted this one in the Best Soap Scenes thread but this easily makes a list of good soap B*tch slaps.  And this Slaps, plural.  God, I hope that Finn Carter is doing better. I hope you can see this video, I remember there were some compatibility issues viewing on mobile for a few people.

Val slapping Abby is one of my favorites from Knots, and Donna sells her part of it more than Joan.  But I still love it.

But my favorite is from GH- Lesley slapping Monica. And the first time I eve saw it was during that primetime GH anniversary special.  Thanks to YouTube I have now seen the entire scene!  The close up, the vitriol from Monica.  It’s visceral and fantastic and the kind of stuff soaps used to do so well.  The great stuff starts in this clip around 6 minutes.

@titan1978 - It's even more satisfying to watch this with the knowledge that within a year, Rick, Lesley and Monica will all be at Kelly's and Rick and Lesley will completely ignore Monica. And there's nothing Monica can do except plot with Kathy on how to expose Alan's affair with Susan!

Oh you’ll want this dear.


So great!

 

I wish it wasn’t like that.  I wish they show had continually reinvested in their rivalry.  Imagine if Lesley was the first person to find out about Alan and Susan.  And she told Monica not for revenge, but because it’s what she would have wanted when it was happening to her.

Yeah.  It also makes me sad at how much of what she does best has not been utilized on the show in decades, some of which I know during JFP was because of her looks.  Monica is at her best when she is simmering and boils over.  The fact that for the longest time she was allowed to be a good doctor and also selfish, sexual, scheming and loving is the kind of writing nobody gets now.

 

The thing I remembered being amazed about the most during Labine‘s tenure was how many of the GH vets could do more nuanced, naturalistic acting alongside the heightened version interpretations of their characters that had been in play for a long time.  For so long the show had been so big, it was cool to see people like Alan and Monica show a more natural style while still seeming like their characters.

 

I just love the intensity of that scene.  Also scenes of Laura around this time- just a raw nerve of emotions.  Monty really knew how to wring out the drama when she had good writing to back her production up.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.
