[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath. Oh, and help us get Terriers dvds!

Yeah, I think that one is the medal winner, it got enough press that even people who never watched soaps were aware of it.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
That's about when I gave up on Days.

Nobody did crazy ass like Passions, though! That soap was born to be over the top. I think Passions and Port Charles were the tipping point for over the top supernatural soap opera drama. After those two went off the air, soaps pulled back from being really out there with the demon possession, vampires and witches, possessed puppets storylines. But I feel like that's always been a strain of American soaps, at least since Dark Shadows. And it's just not really present in the soaps that are left these days. Or at least, I don't think it is. I'm not really up on the latest plots.

Exactly. AHS was too gory for me, but I'm all up in here with Bette and Joan.
