Can anyone give me examples of stories that lasted a long time to conclude but once they did the ending made the wait worth it?
For instance in 2002, Alexis (GH) got pregnant with Sonny's baby, Ned claims he's the father. Sonny never finds out.
February 2004, Alexis confesses to Carly that Sonny is Kristina's father so now Carly knows but Sonny still doesn't until November, when Kristina gets sick and needs a transplant then Carly finally tells Sonny that Kristina is his daughter, and Sonny gets him and baby Morgan tested to see if they're matches for Kristina they're not, however Sam's baby (Baby Lila) with Sonny is and this leads us to the point where Sam agrees to induce labor for Kristina to get her baby's stem cells unfortunately she loses her child and we got that moment of Jason having to tell Sam the news. Jason/Sam 2004. Sam and Jason grow even closer in loss, Sonny kicks Carly out. All a huge Domino Effect that took 2 years to build to.
What's another soap example of stories/secrets that felt like they took forever to reach their end but the endpoint/payoff was so good the wait was worth it? Or even a flip side to it maybe stories that started strong, promising dragged a bit much and the conclusion fizzled/flopped?
