Members carolineg Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members carolineg Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 Ha! Ha! Sorry. I doubt someone took the promo down. I'll keep looking. I think I need to look more under Jax than Brenda and that's a chore lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 Exactly now I'm sure. To think he used to be a good character. Now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 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!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Frank2803 Posted March 11, 2022 Members Share Posted March 11, 2022 Anthony Geary coming to usher off Tracy on GH. I think a very few people predicted it, but it was never spoiled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted March 12, 2022 Members Share Posted March 12, 2022 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bboy875 Posted March 12, 2022 Members Share Posted March 12, 2022 Guiding Light, when Brent murdered Nadine. I didn't see it coming, was shocked and sad when it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members heffos Posted March 12, 2022 Members Share Posted March 12, 2022 (edited) Cady McClain's Christmas Eve 2005 to AMC was pretty much an unleaked shock. Edited March 12, 2022 by heffos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted March 17, 2022 Members Share Posted March 17, 2022 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRM84dxzdy0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
