What are some of your favorite sibling feuds? Could be Brother vs Brother, Sister vs Sister, maybe even brother vs sister

For me, it’s between these two ladies:

I’ll always see Maura West as Carly Tenney from As the World Turns. I miss that soap every single day, and I miss Carly just as much. Watching Maura on General Hospital is always a reminder of how much I loved her as Carly. No matter what role she plays, that’s who she’ll always be to me.

The same goes for Rebecca Budig as Greenlee Smythe from All My Children. I absolutely adored Greenlee. She was funny, complicated, messy, and unforgettable. Every time I see Rebecca in another role, I still see Greenlee first.

I’ll say this, but losing As the World Turns and All My Children still stings me till this day. Those characters became part of our daily lives, and some actors are just forever tied to the roles that made us fall in love with them.

Who’s a soap actor you’ll always associate with one specific character?

What are some decisions that changed either a show, character, a storyline or soaps overall? Good or bad.

Alot of people have asked if International Soaps, specifically (but not limited to) EastEnders, Coronation Street, Emmerdale, and Hollyoaks are allowed, they are and always have been.. Lately, I've noticed a lot of different conversations regarding them, figured I'd add a flair.

Who were everyone’s top five and bottom five ships on all the soaps they ever watched??

For my bottom five, I’m focusing less on the prototypical ships that everyone hated (eg. Sonny and Emily on GH) and more on ships that probably did/do have a few fans, but who I personally couldn’t stand hahaha.

In no particular order…….

Top five:

— Trevor and Natalie (AMC) - My head canon is that everything post 1993 was in Janet’s head and Natalie survived the accident and they had two more kids. Amanda went along with her fantasy so she wouldn’t lash out.

— Brady and Theresa (Days) - I love the whole “troubled people making each other better” trope. Their private wedding vows were 😍😍😍.

— Jack and Diane (Y&R) - Even when we were supposed to prefer him with Phyllis, I always felt like Diane was his better match. When they killed her I felt like it was hopeless. Rare instance when something actually worked out for me!!

— Chad and Abby (Days) - Only Marci’s Abby!! Never cared for them with Kate Mansi in the role.

— JT and Colleen (Y&R) - Another trope (bully/nerdy girl) that I love.

Bottom five:

— Chase and Brooklyn (GH) - I loathe them for so many reasons. They look like siblings. They act like they sleep in twin beds. She acts desperate around him and is an embarrassment to her family. He’s clearly into his ex. They’ve been together way too long. All around suck fest.

— Patrick and Sabrina (GH) - Contrived. Needed excessive propping. I almost stopped watching forever when he acted “torn” after Robin came back.

— Brady and Melanie (Days) - Similar to Patrick and Sabrina where the entire town had to prop them. It felt like they were only together to spite Theresa.

— Janet and Trevor (AMC) - Obviously I despised this. Her killing him was the ultimate FAFO. Hated that they had a kid together.

— Elizabeth and Finn (GH) - This probably falls under the “everyone hated them” category but they still got like three years of the show trying to make them work. Such a weird, uncomfortable pairing.

Anybody remember the book Hidden Passions? There was a storyline where Timmy took Tabitha’s diaries and had them published into a book. The first part of the book took place in 1976 and featured Sam and Ivy’s romance, her marriage to Julian, Eve’s relationship with Julian, her time working as a jazz singer, and a bunch of other stuff. The second part took place in 1980 and featured Sam meeting Grace plus Eve meeting T.C.

Since the book was written during the second season of Passions, some of the details wound up being contradicted on the show. (For example, Eve is an only child from an upper middle class family in New England in the book, but on the TV show she’s from the south and has a younger half-sister.)

My local library had the book and I must have checked it out at least a hundred times. In fact, I was probably the only person in my library who checked it out, lol
