There are certain things you never say in real life, things that could jinx an otherwise perfect day. Things like, "What could possibly go wrong?" or "Nothing could ruin this day." The same applies for soaps.

But look at Anita and Vernon's meal at the country club. They just wanted a little quiet time together. Then Anastasia showed up with a request to break up Tyrell and Chessie, Smitty was arrested, and Martin's political career hung in the balance. Nicole just wanted to show up at the hospital for a normal work day, but her world was rocked by news that her ex-husband had gotten engaged.
