Wedding Crashers


The NON-Wedding of Valentina got me to thinking about all the weddings on all the soaps that have gotten interrupted. First I was going to try to count them all--then I didn't want to stay up all night so I chose my fave and asked David to do the same!! 




YEAR:
1987
SOAP:
One Life To Live

WEDDING: Cord Roberts and Kate Sanders

INTERRUPTER:  Tina Lord Roberts

REASON:  She was presumed dead after falling off a waterfall ..but was taken care of by Palupe Indians.


STORY: Juicy! Tina comes in with a baby, saying it's Cord's. Only GUESS WHAT! It's NOT! Their son is in the JUNGLE and his name is Milagro. It's all twisty fun but know this: When Tina and Max go to marry, Tina says "I take the Cord" (FRIENDS, anyone?) and Max calls it off. 

OH THE DRAMA!! When Tina walked into that wedding I yelled!! I had no idea. Such a great, soapy moment and there were not many 'back from the deads" to know it was coming.


 Fun Fact: Much of the previous action when Tina 'died" took place about 40 miles from here in Letchworth State Park! They had the waterfalls to do it with! 





YEAR:
November 27, 2013

SOAP:
General Hospital

WEDDING: Sabrina Santiago and Patrick Drake

INTERRUPTER:  Robin Scorpio-Drake

REASON:  Robin was presumed dead and was back in town

STORY: Robin was held captive but managed to escape. She went to the church to see Patrick and Sabrina get married and get a glimpse of her daughter Emma. When she got to the church and saw Patrick and Sabrina about to get married, she decided to walk away and let Patrick be happy. Of course, these things don't always work out as planned (thanks to precious Emma). 





WHY THIS WORKED: Back-from-the-dead storylines rarely work. The fans have to always suspend their disbelief and go with the writing and performance for the sake of the storyline. However, this one was believable. The writers were true to the characters. And the backstories were plausible. Robin WOULD walk away and let Patrick be happy. She was never one to be a drama diva and raise a raucous. And Sabrina, upset as she is, eventually let cooler heads prevail. And Patrick? Well, he was always a bit if a cad to me.  Theresa Castillo brought her "A" game and made all of her emotions in this scene and subsequent ones very believable.

BONUS: Robin reuniting with Anna. Robin Reuniting with Mac. Robin reuniting with just about everyone. Did anyone have a dry eye in the house? So worth it.


What is YOUR fave "Wedding Interruptus"?? SO many to choose from-- Leave it in the comments!!

  2. These were two of the best. I too am still a big OLTL fan. Sabrina (and Carlos) should still be on GH.

  3. I would have said Tina and Cord/Kate. I miss OLTL! Dave--Your choice was a good one too. I really like Sabrina and felt awful for her.

  4. I think my favorite "Wedding Interruptus" would be Valentina's on GH by the "Green Glob" that is growing in Carly's kitchen.The way this show is going it would not be that far fetched. It could slime its way into the chapel and get rid of the most undesirable characters on the show until it is killed by the vile spittle coming out of Lulu's mouth!!

  5. After watching today's show, please don't let Valentin get away with lying to Nina about Sasha. I don't think it was a good idea for Laura to get so upset about Valentin throwing out the painting of Helena.

  6. For me the best part of today's show was Nina & Jax!! I really think they'd be a good,strong, couple! And oh no when Aunty Lesil finds out!! Lol! I agree that it may have been a bad idea for Laura to make such a stink about the painting. Hopefully Valentin was too preoccupied with how to keep lying to Nina! And I also hope Sasha stops lying too and tells Nina the truth about Val & Lesil if asked. Can't wait for Peter to be outed as the slime ball he is! He has no problem throwing a mother of 3 under the bus to save his own "hiney"!! Lol!

  8. I know that Scotty returning didn't stop Luke and Laura's wedding but DAAAAAMN, when he caught the flowers and Luke leapt off the balcony and they started punching it out that was sweet as hell. I loved it as a kid!
    Also, this ain't a wedding but Natalie coming to One Life to Live and ruining a funeral was awesome. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uL-id5-bC_4

  9. I read that Brad Maule was seen @ the GH studio; either he was visiting or as speculation goes,perhaps will be seen in flashbacks.His character was killed off years ago.

    1. Yes, I posted the link above you this morning. I didn't elaborate in case people didn't want spoilers.

  10. I can't wait to see Tony Jones, even as a ghost! I've always had the hate on for Carly for all of the awful things she did to him, and was furious when GH killed him off. And him kidnapping Robin....? Totally ludicrous. :(

    The other people I need back from the dead you ask? Nik, Alan, and Helena!

    I'm with Karen, Charlotte gets on my nerves. And I agree with the above posters. I think Laura overplayed her hand with Valentin. Sasha's pity party has just started and I'm already sick of it, lol!

  13. Well, LW's hair also is naturally curly, so, if they have children, they will have very curly hair!

  14. My favorite interrupted wedding. I have two of them. The Tina walking in on Kate and Cord's wedding, and the Luke and Laura with Scotty catching the bouquet!!! :) The Tina one in 1987 WOW! Depending what month it was, I was either 12 or 13. My birthday is in June. I remember that scene so well!!!! That Tina and her too much lipstick (she really needed to blot) was a master manipulator and man she lied like she breathed. I loved Cord and Tina together though. I started watching OLTL when I was 11. The first scene I saw was all these women in this place and this guy named Mitch Lawrence. I didn't know it was a cult, until someone mentioned it on the show. Fell in love with OLTL and watched it until it was cancelled. :(

  17. Just watched Thursday's show and I have a rant. When was GH renamed 'The Perils of Sam McCall'. It's no wonder their ratings are at the lowest. Dragging out this Shank story and bringing her back in again and again is totally aggravating and ridiculous. Enough about this already. End it and move on. What's worse...this or the ever aging Wiley story? It's a tie. So on to the "boring" Friday show.

FIGHT! FIGHT!

  Sam's NOT HAPPY today! She's the latest to visit Jason in his own personal reception room at the PCPD. She asks him if he shot Dan...
