Wait, WHAT? I saw the whole storyline but I don’t even remember Tricia having many scenes with Victor. I remember her connection with Matt Clark but that’s it.

Yeah, I wanna say she moved in into Victor's penthouse for a while for whatever reason. I cannot remember why, I am pretty sure..

It's a shame she never popped up on another soap opera.

I looked Sabryn up and it sounds like she got ill? with a nervous system disease and retired entirely from acting.

Yeah if I remember correctly, Sabryn got some kind of condition which is part of the reason she never acted on another soap.

ETA: I wanted to add it was a surgery gone wrong if I remember correctly.

One thing I will always give them is that Bill Bell/Kay Alden as HW knew how to give a psychopath a crescendo and make their ending thrilling. Even in that period in the 90’s when Bell was obsessed with Nick and Sharon, and the show got kind of boring. When they wanted a villain to go, they went out with a bang.

They really did. Matt Clark before the current bad writing. Tricia. Even Veronica 'That bitca Nikki' the Maid.

Oh yes! Absolutely loved that scene (and the entire story that preceded it). Tricia is one of my favorite villains of all time and Sabyn Genet played her perfectly. Shame she never came back.

I remember being on pins and needles with that scene as a teenager. As I usually am with Heather Tom's Victoria. And even better was the fact we are viewers got to watch Tricia's spiral for YEARS. Hard to believe she went from being Ryan's boring wife to this force of nature. But Y&R was so good at showing how a person can gradually change over time, giving layers and storyline. Still mad she accidentally killed Tony, ending Megan and Tony who I actually liked back then. Sabyn Genet really did play it to perfection.

Within in B&B's history, I think the scene where Brooke runs through the hospital when she hears a gunshot and instinctively knows what Storm has done is iconic because it was one of the most genuinely sad scenes the show has had. I was literally crying when I first saw that and when Donna comes in and scream I was practically laid out bawling. KKL rocked that scene while saying very little and Jennifer Gareis did her share with just a scream.

She had LASIK eye surgery on November 7th, 2001 - shortly after leaving the show (she was actually still airing til the end of the month) which may or may not have caused her to develop Dysautonomia.

Oh that's too bad. I hope she's doing well now.

I didn't start looking up soap operas until the 2010s and I'm a younger millennial. But objectively it's insane how the Robin and Stone having AIDS storyline has impacted Generation X.

It’s one of those things where you legit had to be there. Although watching it now it still is heartbreaking in the classic young tragic love kind of way.

I was a teenager. I grew up with Robin, who was unique at the time for being allowed to age and stay on the show after her parents were killed off. The meds for HIV were new, and for many people they just didn’t work. It would be a couple more years before the real world science made it manageable, and nothing like the meds we have now. There had been other AIDS stories, but this one was unique because it was Robin Scorpio and GH still had a strong pop culture impact. We saw Stone decline in a very realistic way, from one medical issue to another because soaps have so many episodes. They stayed the course through falling ratings and actually having Robin be HIV+, and that was a big risk back then that no soap would do today. It was hard to watch, it also full of heart and community.

At the time, Stone/Robin on GH, Jeanie Boulet on ER, and Pedro on The Real World had an actual impact on American culture when it came to people living with HIV. Pedro being a real person telling his story and then dying had actual policy ramifications. President Clinton made a speech about his impact. Less than 10 years before that people in Reagan’s WH publicly mocked gay men dying from AIDS. Those stories were huge in what they did off the shows.

I never thought that we would ever be at risk of the kind of apathy that allowed Gay men to just die like that again, and yet here we are with research and funding being cut for PREP programs and other HIV programs. They cut all the international programs that helped with AIDS in other countries. But the cruelty is the point.

I, too, remember Pedro and the impact he continues to have on a generation that still remembers when an HIV diagnosis was an automatic death sentence. It's sad what "The Real World" would devolve into in the years to come, but Pedro's story might have been the show's and MTV's bravest hour.

Robin and Pedro on top of each other were extremely visible and important. I remember just where I was for both as a very young tween. And yes, what we're living through now is very hard to imagine vs. the open and increasingly progressive discourse then, let alone 15+ years ago.
