Members Althea Davis Posted March 10 Members Share Posted March 10 When a storyline is going greeeat and then the twist just ruins it. One thing that comes to mind is when Bill and Sheila were hooking up and in some kind of dark union... and then the absurd twist that Bill is actually working against her... and wanting her to be in jail. But we saw him kiss her and... release his sexual energy with her... for WEEKS. So it was... kinda MIND-blowingly stupid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DemetriKane Posted March 17 Members Share Posted March 17 AMC Turning Ross and Natalie lustful affair into rape, just to defang Natalie. It was a huge mistake and I think the show suffered for it. they missed out on continuing story for two fascinating characters, a big couple, and a established anti hero in Ross. They kept bringing in men to stir up drama every few years because they got rid of him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 17 Members Share Posted March 17 I agree. They wrote Ross into a corner when they had him rape Natalie; and even though I think they kept him on for a few years afterward, you knew there was no way the writers would be allowed to write him again as anything other than a supporting, "talk-to" character in other people's stories. I mean, there's a good reason why, after he left, they barely, if ever, mentioned him again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted March 17 Members Share Posted March 17 (edited) Anything that includes show wrecking continuity really: ATWT: Either the mystery owner of the Falcon Club being James Stenbeck or “What did you do to my baby boy! I mean girl! Oh never mind I was just gaslighting you…” GL: Maryanne Carruthers Y&R: Jill is not a biological Foster x2 twists, Phillip III back from the dead and gay Also any character damaging twists, like Y&R’s Neil holding a comatose Hilary hostage. Both B&B and Days have had more terrible twists I don’t care to list because it would take too long Please register in order to view this content Edited March 17 by soapfan770 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DemetriKane Posted March 17 Members Share Posted March 17 Yes, and it was sad to see him go out like that. Ross was so full of life and potential. A strong male character like that deserved a redemption arc at least. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 (edited) Anything on GH from the last 12 years. But the 2015 twist in Luke's final story was particularly bad, that he was suffering from split personality disorder. It would have been much better to reveal that the real Luke had died back in 2002 and that Bill Eckert had been impersonating him all this time.

Members Khan Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 I think @Vee hipped us all to the fact that Ron Carlivati's original plan was to reveal that Bill Eckert was indeed alive and pretending to be Luke before folks caught on and he and Frank Valentini changed things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 (edited) Something Tony confirmed, I believe. There were many very specific hints early on re: early '90s GH that made it clear it had to be Bill. We went over them on here awhile back.

Members John Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 I remember Bobbie having Dinner with Luke and she said something like Bill never loved Sly and Luke lost it. That is when I thought it was Bill pretending to be Luke. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 You know, I wonder what would have happened, had GH and ABCD allowed Tony Geary to keep playing Bill in addition to Luke. Obviously, TPTB knew Bill was a dud and wanted him gone with the quickness, but what if they had agreed to let him play both roles simultaneously all those years? Who knows? Maybe TPTB and TG wouldn't have taken Luke down such a dark path. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 22 Members Share Posted March 22 (edited) @dc11786 was gaming almost this exact question out in the Classic thread a page or two ago, but I believe it was more about 'what if they'd brought Laura back but not Luke while TG played Bill'. I can't see it working for long, but letting Bill run another 6-12 months as a kind of antagonist to L&L with Geary doing both roles might've been real interesting.
