One I always remember because it cracked me up was TSJ’s Todd asking Tea “Would you like some coffee ambulance chaser?”

I cracked up at this. It was so rude and unnecessary

Erica, AMC:

"Saint Maria of Wildwind, tending to the sick in her push up bra"

"Tone deaf little girls with eye glasses like coke bottles and ankles the size of logs" 

"What's the matter Brooke, can't take it? well, I know it hurts being third rate, but aren't you a custom to it yet?"

"....who have contributed to my undoing" 

Others:

"trapped inside the shell of an aging whore". Viki OLTL.

"you'll go after anything in pants so long as it gets you what you want. Just like when you were a little girl, Reeva, remember, you like that man touch you?"~ Josh GL

"Since that fabric you haven't produced very much...except for procreating which you do so well. But as far as producing something other than an unwanted pregnancy..." ~ Stephanie (to Brooke) B&B.

GL - I remember Alan frantically looking for Annie....rushes into the room (at the Spaulding Mansion?).  Amanda and Roger sitting on the couch....I don't remember whether Annie had escaped from (mental institution, jail? which?), but Alan "Has anyone seen Annie?!  Have you seen Annie?"

Amanda, raising a bowl of cashews: "Nuts?"

Especially when Lucinda asks Craig whether he plans to marry Iva Snyder and says “…Also, find out how many other stallions were there ahead of you…” , then blows a kiss before walking out the door. Just savage, lol.

”Stop! Am I too late? Cord, I’ve come so far. This is your son!” *faints*

Josh really said that to Reva? Didn't the guy molest her when she was 6? At the 1990 emmys, they showed the clip of her confronting the guy when she won the emmy. Had I known he said that I would've never wanted her to get back together with him 

Guiding Light 1994, Alexandra sees Roger looking kind of lost, "Roger, you look like you've lost something. What are you looking for, your soul?" 

[Planet Soap]

yes he did, when Reeva tried to break him and Annie up.

My god, what a line! 

[bboy875]

Thanks! Josh was foul. I could see him talking about the other men but I see him bringing up her abuser as out of character for him

A gorgeous piece of writing. B12 on the jukebox. You know I still can’t stand to hear Paper Dolls?

Is that like not being able to stand hearing even the beginning notes of Herb Alpert's "Rise"?
