[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 436065, member: 27"] Hearing about this "blizzard" about to hit reminds me of the old "disaster plots" of soaps long past: the blackout on [I]Guiding Light, [/I]the flood on[I] Search for Tomorrow, [/I]the tornado on [I]All My Children[/I], two earthquakes on [I]Santa Barbara[/I] and[I] Sunset Beach, [/I]and yes the MetroCourt siege on GH. They set up various characters to be trapped together or forced to work together to survive, and even occasionally killed off a few characters. I always enjoy seeing unexpected scenes between characters who rarely interact since...well, it's so rare, especially with modern production models where characters usually exist in "story bubbles". Unfortunately they can't really mount "major" disaster plots like those mentioned above due to budget, so I'll be interested to see how they "do more with less". Even soapier: he reveals that he is Stavros Cassadine, who has been unfrozen and[I] plastic-surgeried[/I] to look like Nathan. He's still obsessed with Lulu and had been planning all these months to steal her away to Cassadine Island again. In their fighting, Lulu stabs Stavros and he dies for real this time. And in true soap fashion, Maxie walks in just in time to see "dead Nathan" lying at Lulu's feet. [I] Loo-Loo....you got some 'splainin' to do![/I] [/QUOTE]
