I think they're mentioning Neighbours because of Amazon.

I do love the idea of Barnabas going to 79 AD and yet again introducing himself as a cousin. I'm just glad the thread wasn't updated to tell us someone else had died.

It's not a bad idea, although it's nothing new. Over in the UK they had a soap parody that ran for years to tell washing detergent, featuring many former UK soap actors. Having one that is meant to be taken seriously is newer, although Soapnet did this briefly.

No one will because the corporate media loves Republicans and hates America. I saw someone on Twitter posting several days in a row of NYT front pages that were all about immigration and Biden, with the usual negative framing. No one in the press cares about calling out the heartlessness of Abbott, DeSantis, etc. because these are their heroes.

The various "first black character on daytime" label attached to many over the years.

This is probably around the time Bo Hopkins was briefly back on Dynasty. For any Martin Kove fans as well.

Entertainment sites, SNL, etc.

I don't follow anything NFL either, but I still end up hearing and seeing too much about it. It seems silly to us, but many eat this up, especially due to his ties to Pfizer.

It's a distraction and a way to keep the culture wars going. This is what they do best. And anyone who is tired of this very overexposed relationship may end up buying into that BS.

They always do that for clicks. I've seen them call extras "stars." I don't remember him that well but I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

That is gorgeous dialogue and even better work from Judith McConnell. In moments like that I truly believe she was one of daytime's best, even if SB was the only soap that truly seemed to see her. Maybe her GH work was also this strong - if any old school GH fans who saw more of her run could give their thoughts that would be great. With that said, I can understand why some fans felt this, and Eden's DID, was just digging up old ground rather than working with what the show was by the time the Dobsons returned. I do wish the Dobsons had worked something out with NBC to end the show together, rather than limping on to what it was in its last year.

I didn't see that as the best of times as I felt that sites like DC and their agenda in favor of certain regimes held too much sway, but I do miss the We Love Soaps interviews (and if not for them a number of precious GL and ATWT episodes would still be in the vaults).

Reposting this in case anyone didn't get to see it.

That's so awful. My thoughts with Erika and her family.

From AWHP: Diana Walker temped as Alice Frame on Another World (May 11, 1973).

A 1986 Baltimore talk show interview with Guy Davis (along with Russell Curry and Pamela G Kay of AW). Watching this - Guy Davis got all the call-in questions. There was clearly some level of interest in Josh and his story, although obviously Rauch didn't feel the same way. It's a bit sad knowing all these actors would be off their soaps within a few months.

That's a good catch. I didn't even notice. And I don't think Secret Storm ever even aired on radio. Those little moments are what make finding episodes instead of just reading about them all the better.

That was fascinating to me. I associate this type of shilling more with radio soaps. The only other one I remember is I think a Search episode ended with a mention of Mary Stuart's album but that's not quite the same.

It would also make them feel more invested and less like props. You can tell when you watch a soap now that a lot of "actors" like Steve Burton are just taking the same character with them wherever they go...there is no character to be found.

Thanks for the articles you posted, which I never read until now. I can't believe they might have done a Dom/Patrick tryst in a season 3. That's just what I would have enjoyed (I would have made them endgame in the movie as well).

Thanks! I don't remember it, but others might. I'm always so surprised when anything new to me pops up. @vetsoapfan @FrenchFan @Paul Raven @soapfan770 @Vee @Soapsuds @danfling @slick jones@dc11786 @soapfave06 @Matt @will81
