Five Things That Happened On March 1 In Soap History

In 1990 on Young and Restless, Katherine (Jeanne Cooper, l.) came face to face with her lookalike, Marge (also played by Cooper), who had taken over her life. At the time, she was being held hostage in a remote cabin alongside her loyal maid, Esther Valentine. As Marge and Kay sized one another up, Marge (who was a diner waitress) commented on their shockingly similar appearances, saying, "We looks like we poured out of the same bottle of ketchup." Following Kay's instructions, Esther flipped the fuse, plunging the cabin into darkness, then hit Marge over the head, allowing Kay to flee.

In 1994, General Hospital's Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) told her husband, Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary), that she was pregnant with their second child (the future Lulu!). The couple was already parents to a son, Lucky. The pregnancy was scripted because Francis herself was expecting a baby, her first with husband Jonathan Frakes. Laura gave birth to Lulu in August, and the same month, Francis welcomed a son, Jameson.

In 1997, Lesli Kay made her As the World Turns debut as Molly Conlan. In 2001, Kay took home the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress for her work on the show. She exited in 2004, and Christina Chambers briefly took over the role, while Kay moved over to General Hospital as Lois Cerullo, then to Bold and Beautiful as Felicia Forrester before returning to ATWT from 2009-10.

In 2010 on Bold and Beautiful, Taylor Hayes (Hunter Tylo) and Brooke Logan (Katherine Kelly Lang) tussled in a pond located on the grounds of Forrester Creations' headquarters after Taylor announced her decision not to sell her shares in the company to Brooke, effectively blocking Brooke's power position at FC. "If you can dunk me one more time, then I'll sell you my 25% of the company, okay?" offered Taylor. Brooke suspected she was bluffing — and Taylor totally was. After Taylor climbed out of the pond, Brooke called after her, "Hey, where are you going?! Come back here! At least you could help me out of here!"

In 2023 on General Hospital, it was revealed that Nikolas Cassadine (Marcus Coloma), who had seemingly died during a heated confrontation with his estranged love, Ava Jerome, was actually still in the land of the living, albeit comatose — and just as shockingly, was being monitored by Austin Gatlin-Holt's shady cousin, Mason Gatlin.
