I have this strange fixation with these types of storylines.

The best friend, turned husband stealer, back-stabber, home-invader, All about Eve type of conniving character and the storyline that follows.

One example can be the OG Bold - Caroline and Brooke were best friends, all while Brooke was plotting and lying to her, trying to get her distant from Ridge and take Ridge for herself - she ended up hiding letters and doing many other things... TO HER BEST friend. 

I am very interested in more examples like this one or even different variations. The most important part the best friend characteristic... they should start as besties... and then the ulterior motive or change evolve in time.

I'll nominate an old favorite, Days of Our Lives Stephanie Woodruff and Mary Anderson.  Stephanie insinuated herself into Mary’s life, only to try to steal her boyfriend and her father!  Because she was secretly the presumed dead Brooke Hamilton, the illegitimate daughter of town magnate Bob Anderson.  The poor wretch died in a car crash (twice).

    • Oh god I haven’t gotten to that episode yet, you have to be [!@#$%^&*].ing kidding me. I will say to my surprise, the Danny actor no longer bothers me. He has actually improved quite a bit.
    • I hear what you are saying, but I feel there is definitely an opportunity for improvement. If the set problem is to remain, then the whole focus has to change. Business has to take a back seat if there are no sets available to support story. As I have said before return to Jabot and have a number of characters working and interacting there. They seem super reluctant to do it but Victor needs to be a more supporting character.  Eric Braeden seems determined to carry on and that is of course admirable,but keeping Victor as this dominating force has been detrimental. Have a sweet reunion of Sharon and Nick and marry them off for good. Bring on Faith and I'd even have Adamson back as Noah at this point to support Nick/Sharon in a parenting role. They really need to bite the bullet and drop one of the following -Billy, Chelsea, Phyllis or make them recurring like Abby/Ashley with appearances or short term stories when appropriate. Free up some space for new or returning characters- Noah, Allie, Fen, Moses,even a recast Dylan.  
    • Today was really boring. I get we needed to have Martin accepting Eva but man I needed some Leslie today. Anita being hung up on was intriguing though.
    • Yup, that's John Mahoney, a few months before the star-studded 1986 production of The House of Blue Leaves. Also, God bless TPTB for thinking that a circus storyline was gonna grab the hearts and attention of viewers.
    • I don't think we have. I suspect @Paul Raven could confirm it for sure.  ETA: off the top of my head, I counted 13 sets (counting the hotel room Doug/Vanessa made up in separate from the hotel room Ted is in unless it was refashioned).
    • Have we seen them? There’s a bit more variety than some of the other soaps but I feel like GH still has them beat. Right now everyone literally only eats at the country club or Orphy Genes. Jessica and Samantha look like twins.
    • Dante to Kristina: You turned out okay.

    • Am I misremembering or were they bragging about over 20 sets? Have we seen them all cause I feel like we haven’t and I’d like to see some more.
