Top 10 Most Ridiculous Soap Opera Plotlines


i’ma free time everything’s gonna be
alright you see emotions sensations and
melodrama all on the small screen a
fluorescent whoa easy easy easy Albert
easy
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
most ridiculous soap opera plot lines
for this list we’re looking at those
soap opera storylines that are so
ridiculous they make us laugh
these can include anything from
melodramatic moments to completely
unrealistic and outlandish scenes that
make us cry but not necessarily in the
ways the soap operas intended number 10
Fallon is abducted by aliens the colbys
sorry I said I need help
hello hello this series about an
upper-class family served as a spin-off
of the very popular soap opera dynasty
although it did not reach the popularity
its predecessor did in the series finale
the character of Fallon gets stranded in
the desert and is promptly abducted by
what we’re led to believe is a UFO
as the series was canceled this left
fans with an enormous cliffhanger Fallon
later appeared in dynasty for the show’s
last seasons but instead of rewriting
her experience to end the questions they
stuck with the ridiculous abduction
story and kept fans scratching their
heads Jeff I want to go home first thing
in the morning
number one go home to Denver you really
mean that don’t you yes number nine the
Moldavian Massacre or lack thereof
dynasty and what are you doing here
EURion my job your highness keeping an
eye on my comings and goings no doubt
threw the key home as I see fit to do my
job you’re right at the end of its fifth
season dynasty was in its heyday as this
season finale was watched by 60 million
people and left an unforgettable
impression on everyone in the episode
two major characters are in the midst of
getting married when terrorists burst in
and seemingly gun everyone down
however it wasn’t until the season six
premiere that we found out that only two
minor characters actually died
critics point to that disappointing
revelation as the beginning of the
series decline with many citing it as
overly ridiculous
and as evidence of the show being
unwilling to take risks this rich
American is pretty she won’t be for long
number eight murder by bear the bold and
the beautiful this soap opera follows
the Forrester family and their fashion
business Forrester creations and if that
sounds like a storyline that shouldn’t
have a place for a killer bear scene
then you wouldn’t be far off in this
episode Pamela is about to shoot her
rival Donna after being interrupted by a
knocking at the door ham instead knocks
Donna out ties her to a chair and
lathers her in honey in the hopes of
enticing a nearby bear to eat her alive
it sounds like something out of a
slasher movie but at least the elaborate
and McAvoy provided some good laughs
number 7
the horny gorilla Ryan’s hope you come
back from a Caribbean cruise you’ve got
your eyesight back and all you want to
do is come over here and fight the ten
what is wrong if you what the hell’s
going on when your show starts to
involve the idea of a horny gorilla you
know it’s in trouble he’s easy easy
Albert easy this soap opera revolves
around an Irish American family in New
York which sounds normal enough but it’s
not in one of the show’s most outrageous
storylines the character of Delia is
kidnapped by a gorilla and if that
wasn’t stupid enough we find out it’s
because the gorilla yearned for a sexual
companion thought he was going to throw
it for a second
he’ll just put it down I think I can
snake it out of there we want to know
what was going through the writers heads
at this time as this story is
inappropriate on nearly every level
Albert Albert calm down calm down Yin
you mustn’t move around thanks he hates
this thing it’s the only way we’ve got
number six time traveling back to 1888
one life to live wake up tell
these parts mister we got a telegraph
office now down the street
a show that runs every day for almost 45
years is bound to have some silly story
lines such as when various characters
found themselves in the futuristic city
of Eterna but the 19th century
time-traveling took the cake what is
this place
what do you mean it’s a town would you
pick it it oh there’s no towns like this
anymore this soap emphasized the lives
of the Lord family but when Clint is
shot in the head
the show de-emphasized the normal story
and transported the character back to
the Old West in 1888 you’re never going
to be nothing but a no-good gunslinger
running after decent god-fearing people
and I don’t understand it if that wasn’t
enough
Vicky also traveled back to rescue him
ensuring the show’s reputation as
ridiculous and laughable yeah I was
beginning to think that you’re my
great-granddaddy
I ain’t got any damn son number five
Timmy passions Timmy
that’s right Java we’re going to it –
passions credit it never tried to be
realistic like other shows on this list
but Timmy is still inexcusable the show
follows the paranormal adventures of the
residents of harmony but Timmy is no
regular resident he starts off as a doll
made by resident which Kavitha Lennox
and is brought to life through her
magical powers to wreak havoc on the
town
while the show also featured an
orangutan acting like a human the doll
turned devilish real boy was just a step
too far into the outlandish even for
this daytime drama
Never Say Never Tim Tim uh-oh
what are you thinking number four it was
all a dream
Dallas you know one of the things I love
about you most is your sense of honour
this soap opera follows Bobby Ewing and
Pamela Barnes a married couple whose
families are at odds with one another
you
in the season 8 finale Dallas shocked
viewers by killing off Bobby only for
him to return one season later the
reason given was that all of season 9
was a dream dreamt up by Pam I could get
sleep if I just keep Bobby this dream
year caused understandable outrage as an
entire season’s worth of progress was
thrown out
Oh
behind the scenes it was said that
failing ratings is what caused them to
seek Patrick Duffy’s return but really
couldn’t they have integrated him back
in a better way
number three the Riva clone guiding
light I’m not going anywhere I belong
here this is my house this show is the
longest-running television drama in
history but that doesn’t mean it’s
stories are anything special in this
storyline Reba’s husband believes her to
have died in a plane crash so he has her
cloned Josh Lewis I’d like you to meet
Reva Shayne
if that wasn’t enough her clone turns
out to be evil and when the real Riva
returns to Springfield her clone tries
to kill her and take over her life sorry
to spoil your night honey
the storyline sounds like a decent
science-fiction movie but in a soap
opera about a quiet Midwestern town it
is hilariously misplaced I do have heart
I love you
you don’t even know what that means you
leave her alone
I told her that we take care of her
number two
General Hospital goes James Bond General
Hospital
gh has had its fair share of silly
storylines over the years including
vampire doppelgangers and an alien
posing as a human but this bond-esque
story Trump’s them all Cassadine has
always been a manager strict an enigma
is the head of one of the most
influential families in history and yet
his life is a secret
a man named Miko’s needs a special
diamond for his weather machine and
manufactures a blizzard in Port Charles
to show the world a teaser of his larger
plan of creating another Ice Age on
earth watching of the code what
instructions to the computer to put Port
Charles into a total freeze it fits
perfectly into a silly James Bond film
but not in a dramatic show about
small-town America before we look at our
top pick here are some honorable
mentions
if Patricia’s there’s unsavory I make a
much better topic of conversation
number one marlenas demonic possession
days of our lives this show about
several separate families in the town of
Salem has had some ridiculous stories
over the years such as when Stefano was
able to brainwash hope through a
mind-control satellite bowling hope the
perfect couple of those step of the ring
wise hope into thinking she was a woman
named Gina yeah we said brainwash but
it’s marlenas demonic possession that is
simply unforgivable hoping to ratchet up
the drama the writers decided it would
be a good idea for Marlena to become
possessed by the devil himself thanks to
the masterminding of the ever evil
Stefano of course the cause isn’t
physical John NIDA is the solution I pay
her sip cite her possession gave her
super strength the ability to fly and
even the ability to turn into a panther
yeah we don’t know what they were
thinking either look it’s over now
that’s what the rain means it’s over
this whole terrible ordeal is over do
you agree with our list I’ve given that
considerable thought but you appear to
be quite dosel now what soap opera
moment do you think is the most
ridiculous you won’t like it and you
won’t win for more hilarious top 10s
