AMC: Bianca's attack. I happen to tune in for the episode because I was hoping it was a fake-out. It was disgusting on so many levels that I never watched AMC again. Heartbreaking because AMC was not only my first soap, but I was the only one in my family who watched it - so it was *mine*

Y&R: Adam sleeping with Rafe to throw him off the trail during the Ashley gaslighting mess.

B&B: @Maxim Don’t forget back in 2006 Ridge and Brooke had their own trashy “high on coffee syrup” rape (similar to Malcolm and Dru) but it was played for laughs and just served as an excuse for Brooke to sleep with Nick again.

GL: Gilly almost sleeping with her biological father discovering the truth right as she was seducing him.

ATWT: Julia’s rape of Jack, Marshall’s “no means yes” rape of Jessica, and well where do I continue?

Y&R: The Adam and Sharon “gothic romance” that occurred between 2009-12 was one of the most inappropriate pairings I have ever seen based on what he did to her.

Days: Same with the above with EJ and Sami. Gross. 

Not surprisingly my ATWT, Days, and Y&R choices were all written by the same writer

The less said about some of the outlandish bathroom stuff Reilly gave us and later Pratt gave us the better.

I’m currently on those episodes.. Not that far with the sleeping part (but I did watched that episode when it aired)… Holy sheeeet. That Victor got away with that is just ridiculous…

Even though Chelsea and Adam (especially Justin) were one of my top 5 couples form YR during the last 20 years the story was inappropriate. He stalked her for months as Gabe Bingham and made her fall for Gabe.. He was constantly bringing up Adam.. Adam here and Adam there and Adam blah. I can’t believe Chelsea was that dumb not be a little bit confused by it or to caught on to him sooner. And all we got was Adam talking to the portrait of Victor and her walking in. LOL

B&B I raced to this thread to say Ridge and Bridget. Low and behold it was the first answer! 

B&B Stephanie unknowingly giving a rapist the location of the keys to Brooke's house. 

B&B Brooke sleeping with Deacon, Nick, Thomas and Oliver.

Y&R Victor gaslighting Sharon with a double of her deceased daughter (Cassie/Mariah... his adoptive granddaughter. 

GH Luke rapes Laura then taunts her by playing the song that he raped her to AGAIN at the campus disco. 

GH Ric locking a pregnant Carly in a panic room then gets forgiven and becomes DA

OLTL: Todd Manning/Victor Jr: raping Marty, the dead baby lie, causing Star to fall down stairs, beating up Cole, "re-raping" Marty (Yet still being forgiven).

    • Jonathan Kellerman is definitely the most EON/Slesar-like writer in the business right now.  Unfortunately, he's almost 80 years old.  Interestingly, he has a son (Jesse Kellerman) who's about 45, who's been studying under him.  I believe what makes the Kellermans such effective mystery & crime writers is their background in psychology.  
    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
