IIRC, they thought Joss got Jake’s kidney but it turned out Jax paid Nelle’s father. Nelle is Joss’s real donor.
Yeah I'd forgotten a lot of that. But at the time the storyline really was Jake dying to give Joss a kidney until the recton on Jake.
All My Children Kendall got brother Josh’s heart. Erica’s aborted fetus who turned up 30+ years later alive.
DOOL had Daniel dying to give Brady his heart. I think B&B had Storm kill himself so his sister could get his. Y&R gave Connor the corneas of poor dead Deliah.
And ATWT went full "bury your gays" with Reid dying in the final episodes so boring AF Chris could get his heart. Reid was the boyfriend of Luke, played at the time by Van Hansis, our new Lucas.
