All: Best scenes with mothers and children


Recommended Posts

It is Mother's Day, so I thought this would be a good topic. One of the best for me is when Dru confronts her mother on Y&R, but I cannot find a clip of that. In primetime, Abby and Olivia's scenes when Olivia was a drugs were top notch.

If anyone has it, I'd love to see the Mother's Day brunch from Y&R May 10, 2004 where Kay gets drunk after arguing with Jill and then Father Todd (her real life son Corbin Bernson) calms her down.

 

Here's the clip of Dru and Lillie Bell. Definitely one of the realest mother/daughter scenes on daytime. How VR didn't win an Emmy for this, I'll never understand....

This scene between Sierra and Lucinda is pretty funny and shows the warped relationship that Lucinda often had with her daughters. When Lucinda discovers that her daughter Sierra is getting a divorce from her husband, Lucinda shows up at the attorney's office to try to stop Sierra. This scene kind of made me laugh, the way it unfolded and the twisted revelation that unfolds and Sierra's response.

 

EDT: This is actually a sequence rather than just one scene, because it is separated by a commercial break and mid-show bumper. Ot is worth it to watch the rest that follows the break. Just fast-forward through the ads, if you like. Bonus: Julianne Moore pops up at the end of the sequence.

One of THE best scenes between Holly and Blake from Guiding Light. Maureen Garrett is simply flawless and its an embarrassment how GL neglected her in its final years along with this interesting dynamic.

There’s many parts of this confirmation online but this one particularly stands out to me.

Bert really needed her ass kicked for this one, but it's classic soap. Real, raw, low-key a trainwreck because how in the world can this woman defend her philandering husband who has shat on her so many times, but extremely human. Poor hyperemotional Ed is trying to uphold what he's always been taught is right, but he's panicking in the face of that very bastion of righteousness degrading the morals that she herself had taught him. Flawless soap.

Y&R: I think the 1975 scenes of the Brooks sisters encouraging their mother Jennifer to go through with the mastectomy. 

 

Dallas: When Miss Ellie has to put up Southfork to cover J.R.'s butt in an oil deal. She tells him she doesn't know if she can forgive him after she signs the papers and walks out of his office with Jock.

 

Knots Landing: Val break down and tells Lillie Mae she was the reason she lost her baby (Lucy) because she turned her away the night she was running from J.R's cronies. Also when Karen confronts Diana at Gary's ranch which ends with Eric bitch slapping her. Abby smirks and then see's Olivia watching her with disgust.

This was so good...like prime time good..say what you will about JFP, the combo of her and this set of writers made GL the best I believe it ever was. Who had ever heard a soap mom, who wasn't an outright villain..tell their kid they didn't love them? I always liked LK okay as a more gentle older Blake, but I would have loved to see SS play this out, and it wouldn't have been the sighs and softness of this Blake.

      I LOVED HER TOO! She was crazy but great on Desperate Housewives! And that "The Powers That Be" show in which she was John Forsythe's daughter as well! Many people she would've done a great Maris on Frasier too
    • Hey boys, I know these aren’t really thirst traps but I think they belong here. Don’t ya agree?

    • That’s one of the things I’ve liked since the new writers came in; more interactions between characters that they hadn’t really had scenes with 
    • Such a missed opportunity… 
    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
