Quotes from Soap Operas

Yes, in years past, I was hooked on soap operas. I didn't start watching until college - 1998. So I missed the glory years of most shows...


Another World

I never really got into Another World - I tried it, but once Sharlene and the original Lorna left, really, who gave a damn?

Sex is never the problem in a marriage, but its the first thing to go when problems appear.


As the World Turns

There was a time when ATWT was a damn good show. That was, unfortunately, some time ago, but I loved it once.

Barbara:
What's happening between Hal and me was always going to happen between Hal and me. We just cheated Fate out of a little time.


Craig re Carly:
Underneath her damsel-in-distress act beats the heart of a cornered rat.


Lucinda to Connor:
You back-stabbing, duplicitous, whining cow.


Edwina Walsh to Lucinda:
You really have the breeding of kitchen help, don't you?


General Hospital

GH is the only soap I can still watch. I even got my ex hopelessly hooked on it - to his dismay, I might add. The bickering Quartermains are guaranteed to lighten my mood.

Carly to Sonny:
You changed my entire life. Its too late to pretend that you didn't.


Carly:
Why do you care? Everybody knows you excommunicated her for marrying a Cassadine."

Luke:
Excommunicated? What am I now, the pope?


Alexis to Luke:
A skeptical nature and opposable thumbs are all that separate us from the beasts. (early 97)


Stefan to Laura:
Is it possible for a dream to come late with no promise before it and none likely? (early 97)


Luke:
Let's ditch it [the plane] in Lake Erie.

Laura:
Lake Erie is just now recovering from years of environmental abuse! Imagine what dropping a plane into it will do to the ecosystem!


Monica:
Mike! You can't flirt with a woman who manipulated your liver! (July 95)


Bobbi:
I'm sure she senses your reassuring presence.

Alan:
What? That's so stolid. Can't I be dashing and mysterious? (July 95)


Lucy to Jason:
And Jason, I forgive you for being a part of this terrible family. Wait! It's probably not your fault! You probably did something disgusting and horrible in your past life! (re cleansing her aura with forgiveness, Aug 95)


AJ
This is pretty amazing. Its almost lunchtime and no one's asked me to resign from anything! (Aug 95)


Luke:
Oh for God's sake. Who died and left me sage of Port Charles? (Aug 95)


Guiding Light

GL was my favorite show for a long while. The glory years, after that twit Kim Zimmer left, were the best - Holly, Roger, Alexandra, Ed - all of these characters came to the forefront. I started watching GL during the last of the Sonny/Solita storyline - good god, was Michelle Forbes something! GL had a lot of good characters and storylines - unfortunately, they threw them away for the greater glory of Kim Fucking Zimmer.

Rick (to Abby):
You know what I am going to miss? I'm going to miss everything.


Roger to A-M:
I wonder if you ever get back what you lose with a woman once you hurt her. (Nov '90)


Roger:
I hurt you so bad ... when I was sure that you really loved Ed, I just totally lost control and I've regretted it every day of my life and every moment since, because I destroyed the only woman that I could ever love. And now, I seem to have this opportunity to make some small amends and I never thought I would have that chance. I don't know what dark force is moving you to be with me tonight, but I know that I'm responsible for it and I know that I will never, ever hurt you like that again. You don't want to make love to me, Holly -- you don't. And, I can't believe it, but I can't make love to you. Because in some way that I don't even begin to understand, I would be forcing you against your will again and I will never, oh god I will never ever ever hurt you like that again.
. . .
Maybe I'm just not such a monster ... and that [the rape] defines us, doesn't it, that night -- it's like there was nothing before it or after it ... but don't you ever wish we could let it go?
. . .
Listen -- it sounds so pathetic after all these years but I am so, so sorry -- so sorry for all of it.
. . .
Listen -- listen to me. I did that to you. I put that fear and hatred in you. It was me. I'm sorry. I'm just so sorry.

Holly:
What am I going to do? I've hated you for so many years I feel empty now.

Roger:
Maybe we're just not so lost anymore. (90)


India to Philip:
He speaks! Oh, speak again, glorious angel!


Roger:
Holly, it feels like the end of the world. (93)


Ed to Holly re: Roger
And so what happened tonight, Holly, can never happen again. Because I can't afford to feel that rage; because that puts everything that I have left at risk. That puts my sanity, puts my sobriety, puts my feelings for my little girl, all of that is at risk and she's all I've got now. ( at the country club, 93)


Blake:
I didn't think I was cheating.

Ross:
What did you call it?

Blake:
I thought I was drowning. (93)


Roger:
But don't you ever just ... remember me? Wasn't there ever a say that you know by heart, when you just looked at me and loved me and that's all? ... We know something now that we didn't know then, about kindness and forgiveness and maybe even love.

Holly:
No. Some things are unforgivable. Some doors shut and can't be reopened. Stay or go, but understand that.

Roger:
How could I have destroyed what I loved best? And made even the loveliness of it so ugly to you.


Harley to Mallet, wedding vows:
There's something about you that makes me believe in miracles. There's something about you that makes me sure, absolutely sure, that there's a God. (93)


Blake to Ross re Eve:
She's a fruitbat, Ross! (93)


Roger to Alex:
I would get more comfort from a toothless street whore than I ever got from you! (Dec 94)


Ross:
What is the one thing Roger would move heaven and earth to protect?

Blake:
I don't know. I used to think it was me. (Aug 95)


Roger to Dinah:
And my razor! What are you doing with it, scraping floors? (Aug 95)
