Best & Worst

Hottest Couple

Andy and Antonio. They're sexy, they're passionate, they love each other, but the obstacles that keep this couple from living happily ever after just don't quit.

Most Torrid Triangle

Dylan, Marty and Patrick. Two men in love with the same loving, and she's in love with each of them for different reasons. What a terrific triangle. Marty married Dylan, but realized later that she couldn't forget Patrick.

Most Memorable Episode

Most Unexpected Twost

Most Unrealistic Storyline

Biggest Stretch

Trying to believe that Asa was really crazy. Although Phil Carey had us convinced that Asa had really lost his mind, it came on too quickly -- and his family believed it without reservations.

Best Recast


Kevin Stapleton (Kevin) is bright, talented and fun to watch. He brings out the Buchanan stubbornness, determination and love.

Storylines We Loved

Blair sets her sights on Patrick -- Just to get even with Marty

Blair believed that Marty and Patrick were responsible for Todd's death and set out to ruin the two of them. She told Dylan that Marty and Patrick shared a room in Ireland, ran headlines about them in The Sun and even filed a wrongful death suit against them. After Dylan and Marty reunited, Blair set her sights on Patrick to get even with Marty. On Marty and Dylan's wedding day, Patrick made a last-ditch effort to stop Marty from marring. Blair tagged along, all the while trying to convince him that Marty wasn't right for him. Her efforts to get romantically involved with Patrick finally worked -- but she found herself actually attracted to him. Little did she realize her past was about to catch up with her.

Carlo Hesser Returns to Cause Havoc

Carlo Hesser returned to Llanview to get even with those who'd done him wrong. He broke up Alex and Asa's marriage and made sure Asa's business suffered. Then he set his sights on Viki, bring in Dr. Elliot Durbin to hypnotize her into killing her son, Kevin, as revenge for Viki's having killed his son, Johnny Dee. Carlo drew many people into his web. Antonio Vega went to work for him after Carlo got Christian, Antonio's brother, a college scholarship. Then Carlo went after Todd, who had used The Sun to get at Carlo. He gave Blair evidence that Todd had kidnapped Starr and planned to take the baby out of the country. Carlo extracted his revenge on Alex after Asa exposed her fake pregnancy on their wedding day. Carlo had the marriage annulled and set Alex up for a fall for misuse of city funds. Finally Carlo got ihs -- but is it any wonder the suspect list goes on for miles?

Rachel Overcomes Her Drug Problem

R.J., Hank and Nora worked together to find Rachel after she ran away from drug rehab. Finally, Drew located her at an escort service in New York. Rachel didn't know him, so he tried to get close to her and succeeded -- until she arrived at the hotel room and spotted Nora's appointment book. Rachel once again disappeared, but later turned up looking for money from Drew. She returned to rehab, but ran away once again, scored some bad cocaine and nearly died. Once again Drew saved her and made her see what she was doing to herself. FInally, Rachel cleaned up her act.

The Adventures of Max and Maggie

Maggie wasn't thrilled with Max's plot to help Asa get even with Carlo, but she couldn't keep from getting involved. Max managed to get Carlo to pay $50 million for the rights to the Serenity Springs watrer, which the villain believed was the only thing that would keep him from dying. However, when Carlo realized it was all a scam, he vowed that Max and Maggie would pay for their duplicity. Thinking they'd won, Max and Maggie set off to North Carolina to pick up Max's kids. A rock slide, engineered by Carlo, trapped them inside a cave. Believing they were about to die, Max admitted to Maggie that he was in love with her and she said she also had feelings for him. Dylan, Andy and Antonio found them in time and Maggie went back to her convent. Eventually, she opted to leave -- and test her feelings for Max.

Bo Saves Llanview from a Bomb

Bo discovers the Men of 21 were going to kill someone, but he didn't know Asa was the target. He disguised himself as an explosives expert and was taken to a deserted studio to build a bomb for Bass and the Men of 21. But he was unaware that Poseidon was watching him via a hidden camera. Bo discovered that the bomb was to be placed in the Palace Hotel, where Asa was having a meeting -- and all of his own family and friends were gathered for Marty and Dylan's rehearsal dinner. Bo deliberately neglected to connect the wires, leaving the bomb inactive. Patrick got to Bo and told him about Bass' plan. Then Bass caught them, handcuffed them to a pipe and wired the bomb. Bo and Patrick got free and disarmed the bomb just minutes before it was set to go off, saving many Llanview residents from certain death.
