If anyone has any other ideas, please share. :)

For me its a tie between "Who's the Daddy" and "Back From The Dead". But if there was a "All Of The Above" choice... I would have picked it lol.

All of the above plus doppelgangers when it comes to Y&R.

Well, all of them, but these are the things that make soaps... lol, what kind of stories would they have without WTD, love triangles, etc.

I am sick of long list kid, I will say that. It really bothers me that EVERYONE has to have a kid that just HAPPENS to be a rebellious teenager when found. And then, a few years later, the kid refers to said-parent as "mom" or "dad" like they were never separated.

Back from the dead is overdone on DAYS. Does anyone ever really die in Salem?

Who's The daddy. Can They EVER Do A Pregnancy Story Without Some Question Of Paternity? So Annoying. LOL

I went with baby switches. Could've just as easily been "Who's the Daddy?" though I think that it's either there's a paternity question or the pregnancy runs into some trouble and I'm kinda over that, too.

Actually, after Sami's baby bullshit on Days I kind of am done with all baby-related stuff on soaps. If we're optimistic enough to develop a new generation, just pop 'em out in the background then store them with a nanny "upstairs" or wherever.

Back from the dead.Soaps hardly used this until the 80's.It lost all dramatic effect thru overuse-mainly to accomodate' stars' who wanted to return.

I am so tired of Love Triangles, there are so many more ways to give a couple a decent story without putting a third party in there.

Back from the dead.....DEFINITELY!!! Nowadays, the only surprise for me is when a character dies and actuallY STAYS dead!!!And don't even get me started on characters like ATWT James Stenbeck, who seem to come back from the dead once a year--like CLOCKWORK!! And the characters on the canvas, like Barbara still act SHOCKED. LOL!!! :sheep:
