When creating the "new characters" thread a few weeks ago, I stumbled on some un-fun facts from the show's history.
Bill and Laura weren't the only rapist/victim the show tried to portray as a happy couple - Susan Hunter Martin Banning (Julie's friend turned enemy; they fought over David Martin, the biological grandfather of Eli Grant) left town with her rapist instead of marrying his brother, whom she had actually loved.
Kate Roberts isn't the only woman who's bedded men from several generations - Linda Patterson Anderson, who slept with Mickey, also slept with Mike Horton, and later pretended to have slept with her daughter Melissa's boyfriend, Pete Jannings. She was also not above manipulating her relationship with her child to get rich, like Kate herself. (Current title holder is Nicole, for bedding Victor, Xander, and Brady - three generations on the Kiriakis tree.)
Marie Horton, in addition to her ill-fated romance with amnesiac/surgically altered brother Tommy, was engaged to Tony Merritt, but later married his father Craig.
What from the show's distant history (pre-1995) gives you pause when you remember it/when you learned about it?
