Daniel confessed that he had been in love with her for a long time, but she said she never realized. She maintained that even though he was special to her, she was still in love with Blake. Later, Daniel visited Krystle to say goodbye. He didn't believe that she loved Blake, proclaiming again that he loved her and he would return for her. Blake returned home and was greeted by Krystle.

2009: On All My Children, Bianca (Eden Riegel) and Reese's (Tamara Braun) wedding began.

"Today in Soap Opera History" is a collection of the most memorable, interesting and influential events in the history of scripted, serialized programs. From birthdays and anniversaries to scandals and controversies, every day this column celebrates the soap opera in American culture.

On this date in...

1967: On Peyton Place, Chris began a new journey, gunfire brought police to the Webber house, and Constance made plans with Edward.

1975: On Another World, Mackenzie Cory (Douglass Watson) married Rachel Davis Matthews Clark Frame (Victoria Wyndham) at Mac's New York City townhouse.

1977: Eric Roberts debuted in the role of Ted Bancroft on Another World. Ted was Brian's son and his first scene was with Brian and Mackenzie Cory. "You haven't changed a bit, sir," Ted said to Mac in his first line on the soap.

1980: On As the World Turns, Ian (Peter Simon) had a heart attack and died while making love with Dee.

1980: On The Edge of Night, Mike Karr managed to get Miles (Joel Crothers) released from police custody. Still struggling to control his emotions, Miles told Nicole that he planned on staying as far away from her as possible.



1985: On Another World, Donna Love (Anna Stuart) was frustrated being broke, saying to her brother, Peter: "It's been a whole week. I don't know how people do it without domestic help." Meanwhile, Marley Love (Ellen Wheeler) walked in on a shirtless Jake McKinnon (Tom Eplin) while looking for her boyfriend, Ben.



1985: On Days of our Lives, Alice (Frances Reid) went undercover with Howie to help prove Tom's innocence.

1986: On Another World, Zane Lindquist (Patrick Tovatt) and Felicia Gallant (Linda Dano) were married.



1991: On Guiding Light, Phillip Spaulding (Grant Aleksander) and Beth Raines were married.



2002:As the World Turns aired Valentine's Day special. Reminiscent of an old film, the program was divided into acts with silent-movie-style intertitles. The featured couples were each presented with a brief clip of video and a caption: Katie and Simon; Margo and Tom; Holden and Lily; Bonnie and Isaac; Bob and Kim; Carly and Craig; Paul and Rose; Abigail and Adam; Jake and Molly; and Lisa and "her men." Nancy (Helen Wagner) went through an old box of Valentine's Day cards and had warm memories of her husband, Chris. Katie and Simon had a fantasy about the future, where Katie was a glamorous star and Simon was a lowly musician. Both Craig and Jack fantasized about Carly. Abigail and Adam gazed out at the night sky and wished on shooting stars. Lucy wrote in her diary and daydreamed about the meaning of love. Lily and Holden read Valentine's Day cards in bed. In a fantasy vignette, Bonnie was a Cinderella character who fit Prince Isaac's glass slipper. Lisa danced on a stage with hunky representations of her numerous husbands. Paul had a dream that Rose was home with him again. Tom gave Margo a surprise at work, and the couple daydreamed that they were dancing at a disco club. Jake met Molly at the restaurant where they first kissed. Bob and Kim talked about their loving relationship.







2006:Shortland Street was the first soap opera to feature a Civil Union between lesbian couple, Maia Jeffries and Jay Copeland.

2007:Guiding Light aired a special episode detailing the cast and crew's volunteer efforts in the Gulf Coast after the devastation of Hurricane Katrina.

2008: Singer Pat Benatar appeared on The Young and the Restless.



Note: Y&R actor Jeffrey Christopher Todd (Tobias) is opening in "Romeo & Juliet: Love is a Battlefield" tonight at the Rockwell Table and Stage.

Disney Channel is airing a sneak peak of its upcoming series Stuck in the Middle on Sunday, February 15 at 8:45 p.m. ET/PT (the episode repeats at 11 p.m. ET/PT). General Hospital actor Nicolas Bechtel (Spencer Cassadine) plays Lewie Diaz, the twin brother of Beast.

In Stuck in the Middle, being a middle child isn't easy, as tween Harley Diaz can tell you. The inventive girl feels the need to come up with creative ways to stand out in her family's crowded home, where she lives with her parents and six siblings, to avoid getting lost in the madness. The series, told from Harley's point of view, tends to find humor in the otherwise mundane happenings of everyday life. The menagerie that is the Diaz children includes self-involved Rachel, basketball-playing Georgie, invincible twins Lewie and ``Beast,'' strong-willed youngster Daphne, and Ethan, Harley's closest ally.

Barnabas went to the Old House to wait for Josette in her room and continued to call for her to come to him. A figure in a white gown walked slowly through the cemetery, into the Old House, and upstairs into the bedroom where Barnabas was waiting. Barnabas was pleased to see her but Josette wanted to return to her grave. He refused to let her go back so she lifted her veil to show him what she had become in death.

Jerry refused to back up Larry’s confession of being involved in a undercover operation to Commissioner O’Dell. Jordan blackmailed Zachary with his gambling markers in exchange for Larry’s resignation from the police force. Jordan cryptically explained his intentions for Larry to Jess. Ken refused to help Jamie search for the missing equipment orders. Rick accepted the job offer from Russ, who warned that his performance will be monitored. Russ invited Rick to Alice’s homecoming so Rick could see Marianne. Commissioner O’Dell forced Larry to resign from the police force.

Watch Ron Carlivati Accept the 2016 WGA Award for 'General Hospital'

Ron Carlivati and the winning writing team from General Hospital.
On Saturday, February 13, the writing team from ABC soap opera General Hospital took home its second consecutive WGA Award, led by former head writer Ron Carlivati, who had plenty to say in his acceptance speech. The winning episode was from GH's 52nd anniversary last April revolving around Anthony Geary's iconic character, Luke Spencer.

"We told an original story about one of the most popular characters on daytime television," Carlivati explained. "At the time the actor who played him told me it was his favorite story line of his entire thirty-seven-year run on the show. Shortly after this, however, he became disenchanted with my writing, and for some strange reason refused to acknowledge that we ever even met, referring to me in interviews as only as 'the writer'. Apparently this is supposed to be some kind of insult but I'm sure my fellow writers standing on the stage, and probably most you in this room, would agree I consider being called a writer to be a badge of honor. So thank you to him for that, and thank you the Writers Guild for this."

Watch Carlivati's speech below.
