Totally agree with all of this. Roman's death scene over that cliff still makes me bawl to this day. For me, this was some of Peter Reckell's best work. :tears: :tears: :tears: |

"Pops" Shawn Brady dying on the plane. Kayla had a "Daddy's little girl" air about her & she just played it to the hilt. Then the reactions of everyone at the hospital when they got home got me all over again. Hope finding out about Zach. KA's scream just reaches into your guts & pulls them out as you watch in slow-mo horror. Marlena on the stand after the death of Kellam Chandler & she reveals that he had raped her. Her testifying about the night Kellam died and Don's responses to it were chilling as he realized what had happened & when she finally says it, he forgets the trial & goes right to her side to hold her as she weeps!!! Oh MAN!! Sorry not sorry, but I LOVED me some Don & Marlena. When DJ died. Oh my God. I can't. "You get to love them both!" HOW has she not won an Emmy??? #RhetoricalQuestion Marlena singing to Sami on death row. I literally just watched this a few weeks ago & still think this was some of AS's best work. When Lexie died...oh man. Just watching everyone as they all kind of realized these were the final scenes they'd be in together... the tears were real on both sides of the camera. Jack telling Marlena about his time in the cave in Afghanistan. Good God - Matt Ashford... wow. John saying his "final" goodbyes to Belle & Brady during the Aremid storyline. Drake just rips my frickin heart out. When Billie is singing "Oh Holy Night" (my fave Christmas carol to begin with) and there isn't any dialogue - just the music. Tony sensing something behind him, then seeing it & touching Marlena's shoulder & she turns around & sees Kristen & John holding Belle safe in his arms. Gets me ugly sobbing every. single. time. I'd say Johns '07 storyline, but I can't even type it, let alone watch it. No way, no how. |

John says good bye to Brady and Belle before his execution in Aremid. Angela dies after taking a bullet meant for Brandon at the coronation. Angela was annoying at times but her death was so sad. The part that always gets to me is when Vincent says "so Angelina once again you end up stronger than your papa, just like your mama" and the sad music starts to play. Lucas signs over custody of Will to Sami, but when he goes to say good bye he realizes that Sami already left with Will. Abe dies and Lexie starts to cry and hug his body. Hope's scream when she finds out about Zack. Bo breaks down at Zack's grave and Billie tries to comfort him. One of Peter Reckell's best scenes ever IMO. Shawn's body is brought to the hospital after the plane crash and Caroline wants to see him but Roman tries to talk her out of it. Roman arrives at the hospital to comfort Sami about Grace. Another one with Josh Taylor, he's really good with that kind of material. Ciara cries at Alice's funeral. Eric tells Nicole what happened in Africa. |

Will coming out to Marlena, and pretty much every scene, no matter big or small, during Will's coming out process. Been there, done that, it makes me cry. |

As for Roman dying (and he died that day, and never came back the same IMO): Everyone involved in the aftermath really made that time very soapy and remarkable. When Wayne left the show as Roman, it was like a huge piece of the puzzle that made Days went missing. They had better writing and casting back then, so the show came back quickly. I thought Peter and Deidre proved their chemistry back then. Her reaction was gut wrenching. As far as "Tearjerkers"...I remember Hope "dying" in the Ernesto's cage and not getting over it for a while. It was Hope's goodbye that got me. Steve "dying" was really painful. MBE gave an Emmy worthy performance in the wake of his death. We saw the casket go missing, but the cast had no idea for years. Marlena on the pier when she found "Roman" (John). She had been dead for years and it was amazing to see them back. Although Ali isn't the best actress, Death Row Sami gave us some very gut wrenching scenes. Anytime they have to say goodbye to a matriarch or patriarch it's huge. Tom and Alice dying got me both times. This show will never be the same. |

Around the show's 50th, I watched some early Marlena scenes on YouTube (almost all of them are gone now) And I agree Marlena's rape and aftermath were so sad and hard to watch. Another sad Marlena and Don scene was when Don realizes Samantha was the one who was strangled and he had to break the news to Marlena. Deidre's acting was so raw and so good in those scenes. A couple scenes that were tearjerkers based on the real life suicide of Brenda Benet. The first one was when Marlena had to tell Renee that Lee was gone. (The writers wisely had Lee leave town rather than kill her offscreen). Renee's disbelief and saying, "Gone? What do you mean gone?" likely mirrored the cast and crew's initial reaction to Brenda's death. Later on, there was a scene in Marlena's office where Renee asked Marlena to read Lee's goodbye letter to her. Marlena getting emotional while reading the letter and Renee sobbing at the end were really sad to watch. You could tell Deidre and Philece Sampler weren't just acting in that scene. I agree with most of what has been written as tearjerkers, especially the significant deaths. Roman's death was the first soap death that had me crying. My mother, who was a huge Days fan and got me hooked on Days, died shortly before Shawn Sr died. So seeing a parental figure die around the same time as my Mom, and the Bradys' reaction was really hard to watch. |

I have never cried harder watching a tv show or movie than I did during the week of Steve's "Death" and the aftermath. I was 16 and I dont think I even fully recovered for a month. |
