Such as:
All My Children: Janet throwing Natalie down the well and taking over her life.
DOOL: Vivian had Carly buried alive. And tortured her with an intercom/camera set up in the coffin.

Nikolas hasn't even met Ace yet. I think it would be a good story if he kidnapped the baby and the entire thing played out for February sweeps. Esme is losing her mind wondering where Ace is. Trina and Spencer have an adventure searching and they end up finding the baby with Nikolas. Spencer tries to take Ace and things escalate until a physical fight. Nikolas shoves Spencer and he hits his head on the table and goes into a coma, which is how they temporarily write out NAC so that he can film The Menendez Brothers, now that the both the writer/actor strikes have ended.
