That's the one I was thinking of. That being said, preferring Ridge does not mean not loving and wanting to protect Thorne.
Stephanie is an interesting case because she doesn't just favor one son over the other but she also favors both her sons over her daughters.

Does "She thought it was her son for a period of time" count for this?
Coz Y&R's Jill being so incredibly closer to Cane, who she briefly thought was her son but was actually not, than her actual living son Billy comes to my mind - in a bad way.

My take on Bert is similar to Alice Horton with her sons Bill and Mickey.  Ed and Mickey were such screw-ups that it just made Mike and Bill easier to love.  It is not that Bert, nor Alice, didn't adore their more affect-driven, alcohol-dependent, unlucky-in-love sons, it just meant that their brothers created less worry and strife for the family.

I'd like to think the resurrected Victor and Irene (and the massive history retcons they respectively brought with them) were all the masterwork of someone out to drive Viki insane.

And then, in the most outrageous plot twist ever, we learn Allison Perkins was herself switched at birth with Megan Gordon, making her (Allison) Viki's biological daughter!  LOL!

      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.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
