I liked that ending. The Stephanie/Brooke relationship defined that era of B&B, so it felt fitting somehow, as an end to the first 25 years. I just wish that Brad Bell had used that moment to transition Brooke into the next matriarch. Not like Stephanie, but a more grown-up version of Brooke.

I hoped for that too .. but it just showed that Brooke will Never grow up

GL's Miss Sally vs Reva was always good for an intriguing story angle ... it's too bad we lost Miss Sally after Kyle was written out.  They kept her around for a while, but I think they wanted to give Alexandra that role of perpetual thorn in Reva's side.  Sally and Reva had much more in common to be natural adversaries.  Reva should have aged into a Miss Sally-type, but Reva Part 2 lost all connection to her roots when she was brought back in the late 90s, a totally different character actually. 

So true... I could see Reva walking around in her slightly outlandish clothes (never got how Rauch dressed her like a boring soccer mom) and hats and butting into her kids lives...I can't believe they never did a social climbing daughter in law vs. Reva.  I liked Sally vs. Vanessa and of course they couldn't do much with that as it was Reva, Reva, Reva...but I thought Sally would be intimidated and jealous of Van, and Van would look down on Sally, while trying to act like she doesn't.

Other fueds:

Nola vs. Van (others have mentioned but I love them stuck together as family, and that they both love Henry..) not out right feeding in their later years, but always ready to bug the crap out of the other one..

Lisa vs. Ellen This is a subtle feud, that was always low key. Lisa slept with Ellens' step daddy and broke up her Mom's marriage which led her back to the bottle.  Writers forgot it, but Marland always had Ellen and Lisa sniping at each other like real people who don't like each other ("Lisa, I never COULD read your handwriting") 

India and any other woman but boring Maeve..."Good afternoon, Blaine!" and "Oh Mindy, you always have had such an *interesting* shade of blonde!")

Well, Reva's kids ended up too well-adjusted to bring home anyone either parent would've objected too. And then they basically disappeared for the last five years of the show.

There's a point where Van and Blake really went at it too. And of course, Van vs Nadine, who is like the Earth666 version of Nola.

It’s still going today 🤦🏽‍♂️

Y&R: Kay vs Jill. This feud went 40 years. The best knock down, drag out catfights in daytime. They own this thread. 

DAYS: Kate vs Sami. From about 1996 - 2014 this feud was electric. Lauren Koslow and Alison Sweeney played off each other so well - you cannot make the chemistry they had. In the years since, it's been interesting to see how Kate and Sami reconciled and forged a bond.

AMC: Erica vs Brooke. There's this scene when Dimitri's funeral is held and Brooke asks Myrtle if she needs anything while she's sitting with Erica. The look on Erica's face is hilarious - she is totally appalled that Brooke would deem herself worthy to offer assistance to Erica's surrogate mother. Their feud was hilarious. 

Absolutely loved Sami vs Kate. It makes no sense to me how Roman and Kate have gotten together twice now given the Kate Sami feud. LK and AS had chemistry in spades. Their new relationship is interesting to me.

GH: Laura vs Bobbie! God how I loved that.. 

Nicole vs Sami is only second Sami vs Kate as my favorite Days feuds.

Throughout the Sami vs. Kate feud, once Josh Taylor as aboard as Roman, the writers would throw in scenes where Roman and Kate would flirt. Dating back to when Kate framed Sami for Franco's shooting, Roman was flirting with Kate while trying to figure out who really killed Franco.

It's one of those odd through lines that the million HW regimes never totally dropped.

Kate forging a bond with Sami was an interesting endgame and the writing was good because it hearkened back to Kate's origin story of being a mother fleeing an abusive relationship...except this time, Kate made sure Sami got to keep her children when she fled EJ, unlike what had happened to her with Curtis Brown. It's a total credit to Alison Sweeney and Lauren Koslow that they imbued this feud with so many layers that Kate and Sami could be vicious enemies, but then ally themselves, and then go back to hating each other.

Thank you for the history lesson with the Roman and Kate flirting. I actually had no clue about that.

Now I need to find a Days YouTube channel that just focuses on Kate and Sami.

That's something I always wanted to happen with Brooke and Stephanie on B&B as well. I would have loved for them to team up against a mutual enemy at some point. KKL and SF could definitely have sold that beautifully, just like AS and LK could.

I never got how Reva and Josh's kids acted like they were a Brady. Reva  gone for so long and their parents split up constantly and Josh marrying the psycho plot line of the month..much less that Shayne would have considered Annie his mom and what happened... But Rauchie saw Reva as a soccer Mom who every man had to worship so I had use for the Lewis family post resurrection.

I don't remember Van and Blake..but I would have LOVED for Blake to have slept with Matt instead of with Rick, and then having his bun in the oven....open the door to Van and Ross who should have been the matriarch/partriarch of the town.

At least we had the great gift of Stephanie dying in Brooke's arms. I will never forget that day. It was if they were long time lovers, not adversaries. Brilliant work on the part of both of those amazing dames!!!

Early on they had Roman and Kate get stuck in an elevator together. Lots of those classic love/hate tropes over the years, culminating in them getting married (and Roman "dying").

Sheila would have been the natural choice when she poisoned Stephanie and got her in the mental ward...but they were out of each other's orbits a bit at that time.

Erica Kane vs Zach Slater, I love that he was one of the few people Erica didn't know how to "handle" he didn't cow tow to her like a lot of others did lol

AMC - I would say Erica/Brooke for sure, but Erica's feud with Barbera was great.  Anyone remember this epic Erica Kane slap when Barbara returned many years later?  Talk about TKO!

 

And for good measure, a good Brooke slap to Erica at the 6:18 mark.  

Erica:  "I should have you arrested!"

Brooke:  "There's the phone.  911" 🤣

 

Yas! Taste! I liked most of Erica Kane's feuds; Barbara, Natalie, Brooke!

Haha thanks!  

And YES - I loved crazy Annie - one of my favorite modern day characters.  Her feuds were so great.
