So happy Twitter wasn’t around when I was young. Wish it’d go away now. It’s a useless garbage hole.

I personally have no use for Twitter or Facebook. I despise both of them.

There were quite a few daytime moments that would have broken Twitter...

Cindy Clark Matthews dying on Another World

Roger Thorpe being unmasked on Guiding Light.

Kathy Wexler breaking the Joker's Jackpot on The Joker's Wild.

Leslie getting killed by a car on Guiding Light.

Roger falls off the cliff, also on GL.

Anything with Robin Strasser as Rachel on AW.

One of the earliest daytime TV moments that would have broken Twitter would be Kathy Roberts being killed by a car on Guiding Light, or Marie Winn winning big on Dotto, and them someone discovers her notebook.

What about Nina, Dr. Morrison's wife on St Elsewhere? Her death would have gotten quite a few people upset.

Cherry on China Beach is another death that would have broken twitter for sure.
