Obviously that headline is facetious. But seriously, have you PopWatchers seen the now-infamous cat fight scene from NBC’s tragic and short-lived soap opera Generations? I’m sure some of you have. But if you haven’t, then you’re in for a real treat: A very young Vivica A. Fox throws down with a gold-lamé-dress wearing Jonelle Allen.
But it’s not just any run-of-the-mill cat fight. These two fired-up broads start with a war of words ("All the money in the world won’t clean you up! You disgust me!") before devolving into the most outlandish fight scene of all time. Literally, they both snap off their clip-on earrings—and Jonelle even hikes the train from her dress up between her legs!—before tangoing and tearing the apartment apart. Hello! That’s how awesome this protracted scene is. The dialogue is clichéd and wonderful: "Come get me, b***h!" "Daniel Reubens loves me, and no little piece of street trash is is gonna tell me otherwise!" And, my favorite, "I wanna wipe this floor with you!"
I’d go so far as to say this defines the time when soaps were really soaps. I’ll stop talking now, and let you just enjoy.
What’d you think PopWatchers? Best. Clip. Ever. Right?
Ever. Ever. Ever.
Yeah. I didn’t know soaps could be this soapy.
wow…thatwas amazing…i do miss classic soaps..nowadays they suck…
that was all kinds of awesomeness!
Outstanding! Both actresses must have had “we get to keep our weaves” clauses in their contracts.
Thank you for this clip! I loved Generations (Robert Torti and Anthony Addabbo were so hot!) I remember all the drama with Doreen and Maya. The man in the middle was a young Kristoff St. John (Neil on Y&R). Generations was a good soap. Like Sunset Beach, there was good diversity on the show. Unfortunately for both, NBC axed them before they could develop an audidence.
that was intense!
Loved Generations! Thanks for the great flashback.
Did that just happen?! I am in shock. OMG awesomeness. Good lord.
It’s spelled “b***h*, not “b***t”.
“I just might be your worse nightmare.”
Okay, in soap language that translates as “you are my long-lost mother or sister.”
I never watched this show but I’m curious as to the relationship between these two.
Hilarious!
Great scene! I loved Generations and still miss it. Vivica A. Fox was great and is still one of my favorite actresses. Soaps now are so dull and repetitive; this reminds me of when soaps were fun and entertaining.
As I recall (please correct me if I am wrong), Maya dated Adam but Adam lusted for Doreen. Doreen got pregnant with Adam’s child but she later ended up with Maya’s father, Daniel. Your typical soap storyline…LOL
OMFG!!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THAAAAANK YOU!!! WHEN was the last time you saw a scene on a soap that entertaining? That’s why I don’t even have a favorite anymore. NBC really dropped the ball when they cancelled GENERATIONS. There’s nothing now that even equals it. Plots these days are weak, and the acting is even worse.
Ah. misty watercolor memories!
I know I shoulda unclipped my weave and beat that beyotch like the dollar store hoochie that she was!
