Soap Opera Lines To Remember: The Week Of June 24 – 28

The soap opera genre boasts some of the most outstanding dialogue of any television genre. From the hilarious to the profane, to the tender and the curt. From declarations of love to moments of deep reflection and recollection of long-forgotten history.

Below, Soap Hub brings you a sampling of some of the best dialogue heard this past week from your favorite soaps.

The Bold and the Beautiful

That’s Quite A Rap Sheet
Bill: Thomas has skated close to the edge more than once.

Put The Fear Of God Into Them
(Zoe, Xander, and Flo debate Thomas’s power of persuasion)
Zoe: We all saw first hand how persuasive Thomas can be when he really wants to be.
Flo: “Persuasive” is putting it mildly. I don’t know about you, but I still get chills every time I think about how he was threatening us.

Cat Scratch Fever
(Sami have some strong words for “Nicole”)
Sami: …I get it. Grief does crazy things to people, but unbelievably, grief has made you an even bigger bitch……When Eric told me that he’d finally, finally, given up on any sort of future with you I celebrated. I celebrated the fact that he was finally going to be free of your baby-stealing, child-snatching, soul-sucking drama!

Blood Thirsty
(Kristen wants details about Ted’s last moments alive)
Kristen: Did Pepe Le Pew beg for his life?
Xander: Oh, you should have seen him. He was whimpering like a little girl.
Kristen: Oh, that is glorious. Sexist but glorious.

(Nicholas and Victor share a joke and truly reconnect)
Nicholas: Man if I had a nickel for every time you admitted that you were wrong…
Victor: You would have had 5 cents.
