5. By the time someone had shot Julian into a vat of boiling tuna nearly everyone in Harmony had a motive to see him dead. And dead he was -- or so everyone thought -- for months as Julian laid low out of town to nurse himself back to health and figure out who the culprit was. He was forced out of hiding and "back to life" after seeing in the newspaper that Theresa was about to be wrongly executed for his murder (see No. 1).

4. Though it wasn't the first (and certainly not the last) time Tabitha wrongly believed her Tim Tim had died, the Timmy/Tabitha montage that played after the two ended up in the water when the prom boat capsized (put to the tune of Celine Dion's "My Heart Will Go On", from Titanic) was priceless. Perhaps the best T&T montage ever.

3. Turnabout is fair play, and Tabitha gave her Dollface quite a number of his own scares. The most notable was her first, when Tabitha passed out cold from too many Martimmies. When Timmy couldn't revive her, he packed his bags, (including her feather boa) and said sayonara to his Princess -- but not before bringing down the house (and reviving Tabitha) with a piano recital of "Auld Lang Syne".

2. Sheridan's (and PASSIONS') first back-from-the-dead scenario happened in Paris, where history cruelly repeated itself after she suffered a car crash in the same spot of the same tunnel as her late best friend, Princess Diana. Sheridan was rushed to the same hospital where Diana died. While flatlining Sheridan had an out-of-body-experience that took her to Heaven, where she reunited with Diana who convinced her to return to life.

1. Of all of PASSIONS' back-from-the-deads, none was ever quite so macabre and shocking as Theresa's. After being wrongly convicted of murdering Julian, she was put to death by lethal injection. Viewers had every reason to believe it was a done deal -- Alistair paid off the governor to refuse her a pardon -- and there was none of Tabitha's hocus-pocus or any of the show's typical fantasy/dream sequences involved. Her embalmed body even laid in state at the Crane Mansion for days. When the body started haunting people like Ivy, everyone naturally assumed it was their guilty consciences playing tricks on them. No one would ever have believed it was really Theresa doing the taunting and the haunting: It turned out Alistair orchestrated an elaborate hoax (including the use of faux chemicals in the execution chamber), hoping that Theresa's death would flush out Julian's real assailant.
