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

The Minearverse 6: Fiery Thread of Death
[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!
That's about when I gave up on Days.
Me too. Unless it was that Phantom of the Opera ripoff...
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.
Unrelated but related. Can we post photos here, now, because I have press access to so many pretty photos.
