So, over the years, what all characters of soap operas or night-time dramas were killed off on the show (or were thought to be dead) but later came back to life, somehow? (Sometimes more than once)

One that I know right off the top is Jesse Hubbard (Darnell Williams) on "AMC".

They've brought Taylor (Hunter Tylo) back from the dead so many times on "The Bold and the Beautiful" it's beyond ridiculous.

On the same show: Macy was killed off in July 2000. She "returned" in December 2002 only to stay for 9-10 months of rather awkward and poorly written storylines. Once the writers got bored with her they killed her off again by having a large Chandelier fall on her head whilst on stage!! I mean c'mon!

Ridge was presumed dead in October 2003 after he supposedly fell into a Foundry Fire only to return a week later (damm!) :happyface

Strangely enough Sally Spectra's character on "The Bold and the Beautiful" is technically still alive even though her portrayer the wonderful Darlene Conley passed away in January 2007. :(

So Many


On Y&R around 1993ish Victor was carjacked and Kansas,and the person that stole his car went over a cliff and died. Everyone thought that Victor was dead. This is around the time he met Hope.


On ATWT James Stenbeck was brought back from the dead quite a few times.

'Guiding Light': Roger and Reva

'Days of our Lives':Marlena and Hope

Another one from "AMC" is Dixie Martin (Cady McClain).

At one point she came back on the show as a ghost, but then later on she came back "for real". :confused:

A similar storyline occured in "The Bold and the Beautiful" with Taylor. She appeared as a Ghost to not one, but three of the characters in March 2004 only to return for real the following year. :rolleyes:

They did the same thing with Reva on GL! WTH? :crazy:

Well on ATWT John Dixon faked his own death...though we didn't know he was alive until the rest of the characters did (at least not for sure).

Bobby Ewing on Dallas...nuff said.

Fallon Colby on Dynasty.

Victor Kiriakis on DOOL died and came back several times, I believe.

On KL, I know that both Gary and Greg faked their deaths.

Laura Spencer "died" and came back on GH.

Pretty much the whole AMC cast.

Gee, where do I start? Too many to count!!! :eek: :crazy: :lol:

John Black, Roman Brady, Andre DiMera, Stefano DiMera, Marlena Evans Black, and Steve Johnson-Days of our Lives.
