ALL: General Retro Soap Discussion

[janea4old]

yes I thought of the Renee party...
But this is different because I'm talking specifically about the revealer convincing someone else to throw the party.  And the someone else complies, having no idea what the revealer plans.

I'm wondering if Michele Val Jean did a first with BTG in 2025.
But the BTG thread is already so busy -- that I thought
it important to *NOT* clog it up with discussing this, so I brought the question here instead.
That way, if other reveals come up in conversation, it's not a problem on this "general retro soap" thread.

Well, if you add that one caveat, oddly, it disqualifies Renee. Because she is one person who was both the planner (if you will) and also the "evil" revealer. Weird but that is THE difference.  And it's the only difference. But, sure, I think those words make it unique. THE REVEALER CONVINCES HER TARGET TO HOST THE EVENT. Right? 

Well, if we nitpick The Revealer used her secret agent to convince their target to do this shindig. Yes. That's it. Because Leslie/Sheila/Sherry/Dana/Leslie/Mom didn't do it by herself. She HAD to have Eva doing her part. 

Okay, run with that. 

And, why not discuss it here? It's topical.

It's such a delicious set of circumstances that I'm actually a little surprised that I can't think of ones that exactly match. I've just got a couple of close but no cigars (the reveal wasn't public, like when Alexis told Dominique at her and Garrett's engagement party that Garrett lied about being married; or the revealer didn't come up with the idea of the party). Maybe I need to think some more about it.

Does the ball on GL where Philip revealed that he had forced Alan out of Spaulding count or was that not Philip's idea? 

There was a ball on AMC where Adam revealed that he had bankrupted Palmer, I think (or was it the other way around?), but I can't remember who threw that.
