90 - TRADE - In 'Sex And The City' the girls headed out to dance club Trade. Seeing all the girls glammed up to the max and whooping it up with all those hot shirtless gay boys was almost too fabulous for words - almost!
89 - NICHOLAS PEARCE'S DEATH - 'Dallas' was finishing another season and created another cliffhanger to leave the viewers wanting more. Sue Ellen had been having a fling with her business manager Nicholas. JR found out and confronted the two at Nicholas' apartment. A fight ensued with JR actually scrapping on the balcony which ended with Nicholas falling to his death in dramatic slo-mo fashion. Sue Ellen so enraged, let her lips quiver a lot, took out a gun and fired a few shots into JR. She then calmly picked up the phone and called the police. "This is Sue Ellen Ewing - I'd like to report a double murder!
88 - ALEXIS & CECIL'S WEDDING - In 'Dynasty' Alexis had managed to bonk her lover Cecil Colby into having a heart attack and landing in hospital. Cecil, poor chap, was looking greyer than normal when Alexis was at his bedside wearing virginal white and only just managed to wheeze out his vows of marriage before flatlining. Alexis was distraught with her mascara dripping crying for Cecil not to die on her. Campy and funny.
87 - AMANDA MEETS HILLARY - 'Melrose Place' revved up the classy factor when they introduced Amanda Woodward's mother to the cast. Any woman who spawned that demon seed had to be dramatic - and none more so than Linda Gray (Sue Ellen from Dallas) Amanda had just sacked a model from a job and was told to apologise to the model's boss. Sitting on the table of D & D's boardroom was the gorgeous Hillary Michaels. Hillary was gobsmacked when she turned round to see her daughter who treated her with a "Hello mother"
86 - TUNNEL BREAKOUT - A few prisoners in 'Prisoner Cell Block H' were planning an escape from underneath the prison grounds. Judy and Mouse had gone quite far with Doreen behind. Old Lizzie followed and Queen Bea Smith went down herself to bring Lizzie back. However a crazed prisoner had blocked the panel to let Lizzie and Bea out. The ceiling in the old tunnels started to give way and it caved in on the prisoners. Judy and Mouse were able to go on but Bea, Lizzie and Doreen were trapped and unable to get out - left to die! They did get out by the way, those season cliffhangers are a real bitch!
85 - MADONNA 'CUT TO ME' LIZ - Madonna made a guest appearance on 'Will and Grace' as Karen's neurotic roommate Liz. Liz had a penchant for talking about herself by saying "Cut to me...." a lot. So Karen and Liz visited a bar with Karen wanting to get an STD that night! Anyway, after the night out they had a fight at the apartment. Karen found out that she owned the building and threw Liz out with the remark "Cut to you - living in a dumpster"
84 - TANYA MEETS DARLENE - Tanya Turner had been wrongfully imprisoned in 'Bad Girls' and stuck in a cell with big bad Darlene Cake. Darlene was very unreceptive to her new cellmate who asked in a bizarre quasi Jamaican accent - "Me is Tanya - who is you?" and "Wicked to meet ya girlfriend" When Darlene then put on some Rasta music, Tanya tried to get on down with her - failing miserably in her designer duds.
83 - ALEXIS & SABLE - It was in the final season of 'Dynasty' that producers enlisted fellow Brit Stephanie Beacham to reprise her fabulous role of back-combed to hell Sabella 'Sable' Colby. Her hissing fits with Queen of Denver, Alexis made this a helluva show and revitalised it. The following is a scene from the 9th season that shows these two bitches in a verbal war of one liners. Enjoy....
ALEXIS - You had your little moment of glory when you weaseled this hotel out of me and that is the last thing you're ever going to get your grasping little claws on.
SABLE - You may be surprised.
ALEXIS - Everything that belongs to me is in it's proper place.
SABLE - Well I'm very happy for you. But I thought I made myself clear, that this hotel was just an appetizer...
ALEXIS - What's the main course? Dex or Blake?! I understand you've been chasing both of them since I've been away. Although you didn't get very far with Dex - did you?
SABLE - Jetlag has apparently dimmed your bulb more than usual Alexis.
ALEXIS - What a pity that Krystle's still alive. That does cramp your style rather. Maybe you should send one of your henchmen to Switzerland to pull the plug on her!
SABLE - I don't know another person on earth who'd make a remark like that
ALEXIS - Only you cousin dear - only you!
82 - PAUL & CAROLINE KISS - 'Neighbours' has never been known for being wild really but when Paul was fighting with his wife, Christina and sleeping on the couch, her twin sister, Caroline, came downstairs during the night, Paul thought it was his wife and kissed her, Caroline responded and the two embarked on a storyline that saw Caroline, Christina and Paul leave the show - Fabulous!
81 - RACHEL'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH - CPW was never short of catty comments and fabulous scenes but a lasting memory was between two of my favourite soapie characters ever. Rachel Dennis was Carrie Fairchild's best friend in boarding school. Rachel arrived in NYC keen to snag Carrie's brother Peter. Things were going well until Carrie intervened and told Rachel to back off.
RACHEL - What? Nobody's good enough for Peter
CARRIE - I didn't say that. I said You!
Rachel stormed off with a face like fizz slyly saying "We'll see about that"
