Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Edith watched The Secret Storm on All in the Family. And I don't know if this has been mentioned already or not, but Pat Nixon loved Search for Tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I was just about to post that! He mentioned Another World once I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Should we start a Fictional Characters Who Watch Soaps thread? If so, Roseanne (the character) watched OLTL (along with Jackie) and GH, while Dan and Nancy watched GL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Soaps were mentioned all the time by Fran on The Nanny. They even visited the Y&R set for an episode once (Dorothy Lyman guested as a director in that episode). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Yes! The episode with Stephen Nichols where they watched DAYS ("It hasn't been the same since Shane left!"), and Dorothy Lyman herself directed MANY episodes of the show.

Members All My Shadows Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 OH MY GOD I betcha that meeting was legendary. Also watching S&S. Also was going to mention Redd and wonder if he watched any stories (probably did!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 IIRC, Vicki Lawrence was/is a fan of B&B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Apparently Rock Hudson was a DAYS fan, with Kristian Alfonso, who had once done a TV movie with him prior to becoming Hope, going to reintroduce herself later on when she saw him somewhere. The first thing he said was, "When are you going to marry Bo?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 They also made at least two All My Children references during the series. The one that I remember at the moment was when Fran was going to the Paramus Mall to see the cast of AMC and Nigel excitingly asks if Erica Kane will be there. Paramus Mall is an infamous spot for soap star appearances. They even reference it in Soapdish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I'm sure Rock needed to know so he could have his dress back from the cleaners in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 And of course AMC along with Carol. Oop, I think that was already mentioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Just got my OLTL Trivia book out of my closet. I thought it was lost at first! Here's more celebrity OLTL fans: Lena Horne Liza Minnelli David Sedaris Luther Vandross Richard Burton And in case anyone was wondering: Roseanne named Lanford after Llanview!

Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 You'd think living in the public eye with Liz Taylor would be more than enough soap opera for Dick Burton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 It's hilarious to think about. According to the book, he apparently would watch whenever he was in New York, because it didn't air in England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 "(Insert celebrity) was a huge fan of the daytime soap opera Capitol" read no interview ever. I used to think Tammy Wynette was a fan and that's how she got on the show but I think they approached her. Michael Reagan, Ronald and Jane Wyman's son, appeared on Capitol but I don't think his parents were fans of the show beyond tuning in to see their son.
