Five Things That Happened On April 12 In Soap History

In 1985 on As the World Turns, Bob Hughes (Don Hastings) and Kim Sullivan (Kathryn Hays) said, “I do.” Their ceremony took place at the Oakdale Botanical Gardens (but was actually shot on location at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens). In the lead-up to the nuptials, Bob was delighted when his siblings, Don and Penny, showed up as a surprise, and Bob shared a touching heart-to-heart with ex-wife Lisa. The sunrise wedding was witnessed by characters such as Nancy (Bob's mother), Barbara (Kim's niece) and Tom and Margo (Bob's son and daughter-in-law). Following the "I do's," the newlyweds and their guests enjoyed a reception at Diana's Yacht Club.

In 1999 in a hotel room in New York city, General Hospital lovebirds Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Lucky Spencer (Jonathan Jackson) were on the verge of consummating their relationship when they stopped and acknowledged that neither of them felt like the time was right for them to lose their virginity to one another. Lucky noted that they were only going to have one first time, and it should be special. The duo hopped out of bed, got dressed and went out to explore the sights of Manhattan.

In 2010 on General Hospital, Alexis Davis confessed to Mac Scorpio that she was responsible for the hit-and-run accident that killed Kiefer Bauer, her daughter Kristina's (Lexi Ainsworth) abusive boyfriend. Mac arrested her, then released her on her own recognizance. Her first stop upon exiting the PCPD was the hospital, where Kristina was recovering from her Kiefer-induced injuries. She admitted to her daughter that she was behind the wheel of the car that struck and killed Kiefer.

In 2018 on Young and Restless, Victoria Newman (Amelia Heinle, c.) was reeling from her nasty breakup with her emotionally and physically abusive ex, JT Hellstrom. Hoping to cheer her up, she was surprised with an at-home party by (from l.) Phyllis (Gina Tognoni), Mariah (Camryn Grimes), Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott) and Sharon (Sharon Case). The women downed tequila and shared some intimate secrets. JT arrived to try to mend fences with Victoria, and she sent him packing. Once he was gone, she confessed to the women that JT had been abusive to her.

In 2019 on General Hospital, Hamilton Finn (Michael Easton) rehearsed his marriage proposal to Anna Devane (Finola Hughes), practicing his speech to a skeleton. Laura Collins, who was seeking Finn's professional medical opinion on a matter related to Ryan Chamberlain (the psychotic identical twin of her husband, Kevin Collins), walked in on him and noted that it seemed like he had an important question for someone. Though slightly embarrassed, Finn showed her the engagement ring he had selected for Anna. Laura assured Finn that Anna would love it.
