Members MichaelGL Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I would name the Brent/Marian Crane story on GL, another one penned by Megan McTavish. Watching this story as a kid was unnerving. I really do hate that we lost one of my favorite characters; Nadine, to this psycho and it was so horrible how she went. Which also brings me to also having literal nightmares when I watched poor Frankie beg for her life on Another World. Crazy how I do believe both these stories took place around the same time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 21, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 The rape storyline is Stephanie's version of Brooke sleeping with her daughter's husband. It went too far and made people, for the first time, loathe Stephanie, which is bad, since Stephanie was the queen bee. And it was made in poor taste. KKL worked that material ... even though there wasn't a proper climax of Stephanie vs Brooke after the rape, which felt anti-climactic. But this is Bradley Bell, he doesn't know how to do climax. Then the eggs storyline truly left a bad taste in my mouth in a way I never recovered and never took the show serious, ever. The way they swept this story again under the rug and how this child disappeared is mind-boggling. Brooke will never leave her DNA just like that and never look back. 2006 to 2010 was very lackluster period of the show. I have watched these years out of boredom in my student years, probably 2-3 times and if you ask me something today I don't even remember most of it. It was too boring and too much Nick, Nick, Nick, Nick. Like it is with Liam for the past 10 years. Too much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 Thought of that & also the serial killer where old man Cambias was killing women, what was the gimmick? Satin ribbons? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 21, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 What do you guys think is the best serial killer storyline? Is it DOOL Salem strangler? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 Yeah that was a brutal eppy, albeit very well produced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 21, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 I hope someday I will be able to watch AMC. There are so few episodes in youtube. It seems like amazing show. I love Susan Lucci. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members titan1978 Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 Brent/Marian Crane is a very dark story from beginning to end. So dark the actor had to take a mental health break from plying the character. On GH, the fire that “killed” Lucky. They played it so realistically that it was hard to watch. I don’t think I’ve very seen someone on a soap as devastated as Laura was. The scenes when Luke tells her, the morgue, and especially later when she was in Lucky’s room. Intense and harrowing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 21, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 Oh my god. I need to see this storyline. What is the exact time period... do you know... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) This is a very good retrospective on it, but it contains major spoilers, so don't watch if you intend to actually watch the episodes in full. You basically want to start watching when Frank Beaty debuts as Brent to get the full backstory. According to this page https://ultimatesoapfan.fandom.com/wiki/Frank_Beaty his airdates are (02/14/1995-02/16/1996) This one is more like a music video, also with spoilers but no text.

Beatty would eventually be replaced in the role for a few months while he recuperated, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Maxim Posted December 21, 2023 Author Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 This creeped me out so much I got goosebumps. Dark. Incredibly dark places. Love it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted December 21, 2023 Members Share Posted December 21, 2023 (edited) Well, I guess you'd better see the Fax Newman serial killer storyline including the most gruesome murder onscreen. Jill Farren Phelps, EP, Margaret de Priest HW, Another World, the murder of Frankie Frame. Can I PM you? Never mind. No need. Edited December 21, 2023 by Donna L.
