Baby Mama Drama!

— By Leslie Green

On soaps, sometimes the ladies just end up (or pretend to be) pregnant for the wrong reasons. What memories do you "carry" about daytime's baby stories?

1. GH's Maxie (Kirsten Storms) — ABC

   GENERAL HOSPITAL's Claudia schemed to become pregnant because:
1. She desperately wanted to have a child.
2. She wanted to prove to herself that she could be a good mother.
3. She wanted to ensure that Sonny wouldn't kill her because of her role in Michael's shooting.
4. She wanted Michael, Morgan and Kristina to have a new sibling.
2. On AS THE WORLD TURNS, Carly's pregnancy, which resulted in the birth of Parker, happened because...
1. ...of a tryst she had with Mike.
2. ...Rosanna made Carly a deal: She would give Carly $50 million when she married and had a baby (by anyone besides Mike).
3. ...she was desperate to have another child after her miscarriage.
4. ...actually, it was a surprise pregnancy!
3. On GH, why did Maxie's "pregnancy" ploy happen?
1. Because she wanted attention.
2. Because she wanted to practice what it would feel like to be pregnant.
3. Because she was bored.
4. Because she was desperate to hang onto Lucky.
4. Why did Annie scheme to become pregnant on ALL MY CHILDREN?
1. She realized that Ryan's vasectomy was never performed, so she could have another child with him.
2. She wanted to get Greenlee out of the picture and have Ryan all to herself.
3. She wanted a sibling for Emma.
4. She thought being pregnant would solve all her problems.
5. Kendall's thoughtful gesture to carry Greenlee and Ryan's child on AMC did not have the end results she wanted. What happened?
1. She miscarried.
2. Ryan didn't want the baby.
3. She was inseminated with her egg and Ryan's sperm, causing Greenlee to leave town.
4. She wanted the baby for herself.

6. AMC's Greenlee, Ryan and Kendall (Rebecca Budig, Cameron Mathison and Alicia Minshew) — ABC

   On GUIDING LIGHT, why did Lizzie pay Ashlee to create fake medical records so she could lie about her date of conception?
1. She was crazy.
2. She knew that if she didn't, it would prove that Jonathan was the father and not Coop.
3. Since she has money, she figured that she could do whatever she wants.
4. She thought Ashlee was her cousin and wanted to financially assist her.
7. GL's Annie staged the miscarriage of her child with Josh because:
1. She wanted to feel pity from others.
2. She no longer wanted the child.

4. She didn't stage anything, and truly fell down a flight of stairs.
8. After DAYS OF OUR LIVES' Nicole miscarried her baby with EJ, she resorted to all of the following except:
1. Faking a pregnancy.
2. Telling EJ the devastating news.
3. Blackmailing Dr. Baker.
