ALL: Plot twists and cliffhangers that did not get spoiled by spoilers

I swear my friend told me there was a promo all week, but to be honest I don't remember it in real time.  I want to say I did see it on you tube and it wasn't explicitly showing her face, but her from behind and her with the sunglasses on.  You could clearly tell it was Vanessa.  It also showed a ton of Brenda/Jax flashbacks so that was probably a give away as well.  *I'll look for it.  It's a pretty deep dive into Brenda return promos on you tube though lol

When you look back on the story it's actually pretty obvious she was going to appear, but I was shocked, so even if they were teasing it her #1 fan missed it.  I was an on and off watcher back then, so I must have expected something to tune in, but I did like Jax a ton back then.

Oooo...now I am intrigued.

 

But that said...was this during the time of the lookalike, too? If so, clever misdirection. I was not regular watching then, either. But just from the article I read at the time, it said specifically which dates to watch.

The only time a soap has legitimately shocked me was the end of episode reveal that Kevin was Michael's brother on Y&R. There were zero hints or buildup to it but when it happened it made perfect sense.

Yes.  This is when Eva Longoria appeared as a Brenda lookalike.  I can find the actual scenes on you tube not the promo.  She starts around the 12:30 mark.  The clip has some of the backstory, but it has a lot of Jax/Chloe lol.

I really liked Jax, but outside of everything being tainted, 2000 isn't a particularly good period for him.  Chloe/Jax are so boring.  And just speaking of looking for things on you tube, even before Ingo was the worst, he never built up a following the way Brenda or Sonny or Carly did so almost all his stories on you tube are buried in those sub-channels. But when I have time I will find this promo!!

Shannon coming back from the dead on ATWT in the 90s.

Throughout the episode, Duncan had an argument with Jessica because she was at a protest.  He gets a call that his wife is in custody so he goes to where she's at.  And he looks in shock and the last frame was Shannon's disheveled look before end credits..and on a Friday

When Scott Byce who played Craig Montgomery, appeared disguised as "Tony Impostore" to help say goodbye to Anne Sward, who had played his mother Lyla Montgomery Perretti for years and was leaving the show. She looked genuinely shocked and you could hear audible gasps and whoops, so I believe that, not only was it kept a secret from viewers but it was likely kept a secret from the cast as well, with the likely exception of Eileen Fulton.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark
