Five Things That Happened On March 9 In Soap History

In 1987, a pregnant Tina (Andrea Evans) infamously went over the Iguazu Falls in Argentina in a raft on One Life to Live. She was found by locals and nursed back to health while her loved ones back home mourned her apparent death (and the baby's). Several months later, she resurfaced in Llanview in perfectly soapy timing, interrupting Cord's wedding to Kate (with a baby in her arms that she claimed was Cord's)!

In 1987, Donna Love (Philece Sampler) and Michael Hudson (Kale Browne) wed on Another World. Adam Cory served as Michael's best man, and Donna's sister, Nicole Love, was her maid of honor. The not-so-minor hiccup that nearly derailed the ceremony? Michael had to save his bride from the clutches of Bay City's on-the-loose serial killer, The Sin Stalker, ultimately revealed to be Dr. Alan Glaser.

In 2007, Eileen Davidson (pictured with Ronn Moss as Ridge Forrester) crossed over from Young and Restless to Bold and Beautiful as Ashley Abbott after being taken off contract at Y&R. "Eileen is an extraordinary actress with an unlimited range of talent," B&B executive producer and head writer Bradley Bell said in a statement announcing Davidson's hiring. "It is my pleasure to welcome her to B&B. The character of Ashley will arrive in Los Angeles at the request of Brooke Forrester when she asks her to create a new fragrance line for Forrester Originals. Things will heat up within the family when it comes to light that Ashley has had a secret relationship with one of our core characters."

In 2012, Lisa Rinna returned to Days of Our Lives as Billie Reed, a role she had originally played from 1992-95. After she exited, the role was recast with Krista Allen; Rinna came back to the show from 2002-03, and upon her next exit, the role went to Julie Pinson. This return trip by Rinna lasted until January 2013. The actress enthused to The Hollywood Reporter, "I have done reality shows, talk shows and I thought, what a great way to come back and play a character that I love to play so much. Feels very full circle — like a new old chapter."

In 2017, a dramatic showdown took place on General Hospital between Griffin Munro (Matt Cohen), son of the late Duke Lavery, and two women who loved Duke: the deranged Olivia Jerome (Tonja Walker, l.) and Duke's true love, Anna Devane (Finola Hughes). Griffin managed to get his hands on Olivia's gun, but the madwoman (who had held Griffin captive in an underground lair as part of a wild scheme to use his body as a vessel for resurrecting Duke's soul) got away.
