B&B making Brooke and Taylor besties (or more?

) made me think about stories where soaps did a 180 on longtime relationships, either making good friends fall out and become enemies or having rivals go beyond simply burying the hatchet and actually form a close friendship.

Enemies to Lovers: Carl/Rachel, AW

Enemies to Friends: Jill/Katherine, Y&R

Friends to Enemies: Victor/Sharon, Y&R

Any others?

Best falling out between friends? Bet and Rita on Corrie in the lead up to Bet’s 1995 exit. This amazing scene still cuts deep as it all crumbles to the point where you know there is no return. Two legendary characters in a scene penned by one of the show’s best ever writers (Adele Rose).

Well, really, Susan & Julie started out as best friends - and then David came between them & Little Dickey was born & Susan changed & wouldn't give him up for adoption. And, basically, they were bitter enemies from then on, weren't they? It was off to the races, Bill Bell style. 

Otalia was a classic case of 2 people beginning as bitter awful horrible enemies, working through to become friends & then becoming co-mothers to Emma & then to falling in love. Natalia & Olivia, GL. Natalia had abundant enemies when she first got to town & took Gus away from Harley.

Y&R Enemies to friends

Lauren/Traci (although I wish there was still an underlying edge)

Victor/Jack- inconsistent-for some reason there have been scenes where they have been cordial and supportive of one another.

Passions - Ivy/Theresa. They became closer when Ethan first choose Theresa over Gwen, then of course after Gwen framed Theresa for the tabloid scandal, Ivy turned against Theresa for the remainder of the show, until the final 2 episodes.

This one seemed so ridiculous in 2008, but it actually works for me these days. They just really skipped over that whole "Hey, you put flesh-eating bacteria on my face" business in favor of "Uh, Sami is annoying, right?" 

Then it actually upset me when they gave them tension over Daniel (UGH) a few years later.

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
