Does your soap have a "Red Swan", a s/l or phrase or character that makes you groan?

On B&B

Maya referencing her picture over the mantel, referring to herself as the Forrester matriarch ad nauseam.

For a show with a character named Hope, it became like a drinking game the way the word “hope” was worked into line after line of dialogue.


 

I never ever grew tired of Dorian calling for

Carlotta but hearing ~*Badhra*~ got on my damn nerves.

This one is actually a little endearing in hindsight, but on AMC, Corvina and that damn leopard!

DAYS, back in '96.... Kate using the phrase "schemed and plotted" when referencing Sami's manipulative efforts to keep Carrie & Austin apart.  I actually kind of loved it though, lol. Years after the fact, I'd still use that phrase with my sister and she'd instantly know what I was referring to.

I guess Cricket from Y&R would fit the bill. I never had issue with Lauralee Bell, but Cricket was suddenly the in demand model, teen advocate, teen slueth and desire of every young man in town. Then her mother turned up and married into the main family on the show, though oddly she had little to do with them during that period.

OMG, the minute I saw the topic of this thread, my mind went straight to Corvina and the damn leopard! We used to imitate the actress and laugh our fool heads off at the ridiculousness of it.

Also from AMC, when Gloria was blackmailing Craig and saying, "...and if you so much as whistle Dixie..." It was a clever line during the initial scene, but they kept running it ad nauseam through flashbacks, I rolled my eyes every time it came on.

Y&R: anytime Nikki walked in on Victor talking to a woman she viewed as a threat-- and the woman was about to leave the room due to awkwardness-- Nikki would say "Please, don't leave on my account".

Examples: Diane Jenkins and Christine. 

 

Y&R: Nikki constantly crying, usually due to some jealousy or relationship based arguments, lol.

    • 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
