Five Things That Happened On March 31 In Soap History

In 2005, Bold and Beautiful vixen Morgan DeWitt (Sarah Buxton), who was keeping Ridge Forrester (Ronn Moss) hostage, vowed not to release him until he impregnated her. "This is the night I have been praying for," she muttered to herself. "I don't need you forever, Ridge. Just one perfect night. You give me a child. And I'll give you back to your family."

In 2008, Jared Banks (John Brotherton) kissed Natalie Buchanan (Melissa Archer) on One Life to Live. Natalie was horrified, pushed him away and barked, "Jared how could you? You're my uncle." Finally, Jared came clean with her, confessing that he was not, in fact, a Buchanan by blood — he had been scamming the family by convincing them that he was patriarch Asa's long-lost son! He also dropped the bombshell that Asa's real son was David Vickers, leaving Natalie speechless.

In 2010 on Days of Our Lives, EJ DiMera (James Scott) came to the sudden realization that he was still in love with Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney), his ex-wife. As he cradled the couple's young daughter, Sydney, EJ stammered, "Oh, my God, what have I done?" He repeated the question to himself as his panic grew. "I love her. I love your mother!"

In 2016, Stephen A. Smith made his General Hospital debut in the role of Brick, a valued associate of Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard). The sports commentator and ESPN host was a lifetime fan of the show and had guest-starred on it once before, but this time around, Smith so impressed GH's executive producer, Frank Valentini, that Brick became a recurring role. "I’ve never taken an acting lesson in my life and it’s not my chosen profession, so I’m flattered when people say I can do it and give me props for doing it,” Smith told Soap Opera Digest in 2017.

In 2022, Jack Abbott (Peter Bergman) had an explosive confrontation with a back-from-the-dead Diane Jenkins (Susan Walters) on Young and Restless. Jack believed that Diane (his ex-wife and the mother of his son Kyle) had been killed by Nikki in self-defense back in 2011, and he was shocked — and not in a good way! — when he came face to face with her in L.A. Jack was out West to make the acquaintance of his surprise granddaughter, Allie, who was the child of Jack's estranged son, the newly deceased Keemo. In fact, it's safe to say that the last thing he was expecting was to see Diane!
