Soap Opera’s Year-End Review For 2024 – Most Shocking Storyline Plot Twist

The land of soaps had some interesting stories to tell in 2024 within all four daytime dramas keeping fans glued to their screens throughout the whole year. Still, there’s nothing like those good old-fashioned twists and turns, throughout an arc, to have fans on the edge of their seats.

Below are some of the most shocking soap storyline plot twists in 2024.

Days Of Our Lives – Who Stabbed Li Shin?

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) fans knew that Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) wasn’t the person behind Li Shin’s (Remington Hoffman) stabbing back in November 2023, and it took months for the soap opera to circle back to this storyline after the crime had been committed.

Days viewers were completely thrown for a massive loop when it turned out to be … the last person everyone expected (which is typically in this type of arc, but still): Connie Viniski (Julie Dove)!

She was an awkward character who was sporadic on the canvas and often used for comedic relief, so it was over-the-top, to say the least when she took center stage and allowed her crazy to show, in abundance!

General Hospital – Sasha Corbin Is A Scorpio

Not one General Hospital (GH) fan had Sasha Corbin (Sofia Mattson) being Robert Scorpio’s (Tristan Rogers) biological daughter on their bingo card for 2024, but here we are!

It lands on this list for pure shock value, and the plot twist completely changed the dynamics in the land of Port Charles, within a drop of a hat.

It’s fair to say that the biggest reason fans didn’t see this coming was because no one knew Sasha’s mom was Holly Sutton (Emma Samms) … another massive stunner.

Still, as sad as it is to see Cody Bell (Josh Kelly) and Sasha break up, the possibility of Sasha hooking up with Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) and Cody in a romance with Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) eases the pain of a super couple like Casha ending.

General Hospital – Baby Irene/Baby Adela Passes Away

GH fans were gearing up for the baby custody battle of the century right before Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) decided to visit Ava Jerome (Maura West).

While the argument between the two ladies was heated, the “trip” over John “Jagger” Cates’s (Adam J. Harrington) bag was cheesy, and Kristina smashing through the glass was completely unrealistic. Still, everything that came after all that was scary, intense, and heartbreaking.

No one thought Kristina and the baby were at risk of dying (even after fall) and most fans thought the twist in the storyline was just added fuel that Molly Lansing-Davis (Kristen Vaganos) would potentially bring up during their custody fight for the baby.

So, when the baby did pass away, fans were shocked and saddened. It wasn’t the outcome that most fans wanted, but it certainly was very unexpected.

The Young And The Restless – Heather Stevens’ Murder

The Young and the Restless (Y&R) fans thought they were tuning into a typical soapy episode that fateful September 26th show and were completely floored when events unfolded the way they did.

Not only was it shocking that Sharon Newman (Sharon Case) killed Heather Stevens (Vail Bloom), but viewers were also stunned to see everyone’s favorite Genoa City barista, therapist, and friend clean up the scene of the crime and then dump Heather’s lifeless corpse in the river, all while having a mental health breakdown in the process.

Fans now know that Sharon didn’t do it, but when it was all going down, everyone couldn’t help but this was all a terrible dream.
