Every storyline is bound to have its detractors. You can't make every story appeal to every viewer. But let's move beyond just not liking a storyline. What has been the most controversial storyline your soap has ever crafted?
Moore I know you responded over at SOC, if you want to just copy and paste what you put there. This could keep the soap opera line open for awhile
While Tony and Kristen from Days Of Our Lives were never actually related, it seemed creepy that they had the same dad so to speak. Let us also not forget the whole Marlena was possessed thing, that was big news. Which by the way, how did that actually happen? I know how she got unpossessed etc but how did the actual start of it kick off?

From SOC: When Marlena went to Louisiana to search for John she was captured by Stefano and was forced to call Roman and tell him she was with John, giving their reconciliation the final blow. After they escaped, Stefano followed them to Salem and began using mind altering drugs on Marlena. Marlena did not seem her old self anymore and soon it was revealed that she was the Desecrator and was possessed by the Devil. John Black, who had been a priest before he came to Salem, performed an exorcism to save Marlena's soul. It seemed at first that Marlena would not survive but John and God pulled her through.
It wasn't so bad when it first started up but it got really stupid really quickly.
Oh and the end was kind of anti-climatic:
Marlena "dies".
John visits her in the morgue.
Nope, not dead, demon faked us all out.
Demon Marlena attacks John, John calls for God's help, everything freezes, an angel appears and said God will help because John called out for him at the right moment more or less
Marlena is unpossessed, John takes her body to a wake or whatever and shows everyone she's still alive.
