21. Steffy and Hope, The Bold and the Beautiful
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI A classic case of “like mothers, like daughters,” the stepsisters have been following in Taylor and Brooke’s footsteps for years, fighting over a guy that they’d probably both be better off without!
-
20. Viki and Dorian, One Life to Live
Image Credit: Ann Limongello/ABC/Courtesy of the Everett Collection What’s that expression on Viki’s face? That’s her realizing that she’d been wrong for years: In fact, she could hate her wicked stepmother more. And at that moment she did.
-
19. Drucilla and Phyllis, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Aaron Montgomery/JPI What the hell — and we do mean hell — did these formidable foes talk about when they found themselves at the same bar at the same time? Nothing much, just… ahem, diss and that.

-
12. Christine and Phyllis, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: Sean Smith/JPI Know how you can tell that this is a behind-the-scenes shot? On screen, you’d never in a million years catch the hell-on-wheels homewrecker this close to the Cricket that so bugs her. Unless, that is, she’s moving in for a slap.
-
11. Elizabeth and Sam, General Hospital
Image Credit: Howard Wise/JPI Thank goodness Jason’s exes eventually buried the hatchet, ’cause you know a feud has gotten out of hand when one of its participants is standing by and letting the other’s child get kidnapped.

7. Carly and Ava, General Hospital

-
6. Sally and Stephanie, The Bold and the Beautiful

-
5. Nicole and Sami, Days of Our Lives

-
3. Lauren and Sheila, The Young and the Restless
Image Credit: CBS/Courtesy of the Everett Collection So epic were the brawls between the man-stealing baby-swapper and her favorite victim, they took the duo from their original soap all the way to The Bold and the Beautiful.
-
2. Stephanie and Brooke, The Bold and the Beautiful
Image Credit: Aaron Montgomery/JPI Ironic that in the end, the Forrester matriarch came to regard as a daughter the mantrap that she’d long called the Slut From the Valley. That had to sting, right, Felicia?
