This also led to Bill Bell creating Victor's back story of being abandoned by both parents, growing up in an orphanage, and his becoming a self-made man, thus Victor's character arc from villain to anti-hero/romantic leading man.

MTS has said that Victor/Nikki were an accident pairing that just blew up and it was Bill Bell that saw the connection between her and EB before they themselves even realized it was there.

It's funny that Bill Bell's initial plan Victor/Lorie didn't happen, but the two accident pairings Victor/Nikki and Victor/Ashley would be the eternal triangle that still impacts so much of what we see today.

GH: Claudia's sniper accidentally shoots Michael - from that stemmed Michael's coma, the SOARsing of Michael into the man we have today, Claudia kidnapping Carly, Michael killing Claudia sending him to prison where he was raped, and the feud between Sonny, Anthony and Johnny.

I know that Y&R and Days l were already mentioned, but two from ATWT came to mind:

1) Holden Snyder jumping out of the stable loft in front of Dusty and Lily.

2) Rosanna discovering one of her lost cousins was actually her half-sister and her decision to search for her. Of course Carly would then find pretty much be a leading lady for rest of the show’s final 15 years.

GL Roger/Holly storylines from March 1979 marital rape to April 1980 Roger's fall off the cliff in Santo Domingo. Those 13 months of storylines set in motion so much of what we saw a decade later during the Calhoun era.

    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
    • There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.
    • Especially children who much more likable characters and are played by better actors

      It’s a worse idea than her wanting to become a doctor Well, some of us Italians do prefer trumpets and saxophones over strings
