DAYS: I Wanna Be A SoapStar


Recommended Posts

You could be right Josh. I had just heard the lines several times and felt her comeback to him was supposed to be "does that scare you?" and she drew a blank. But anyway, it was enlightening regarding the two wannabes. When I hear actors say someone is a very giving actor, I imagine that they help the other over fumbles, as well as giving the correct emotions to play against.

I so agree about the Evangeline-type girl. She is gorgeous, fresh and so very appealing too. I would say cast her for Jett, but I would hate for the poor thing to have to react to wood, being a newbie and all.

In my opinion, Days desperately needs women and I do hope a woman wins this competition. The 25-30 age group is woefully deficient.

Travis could be great as Brady Black, perhaps? Alec Musser has proven that its better to come in as a recast character with ties to existing people on the canvas, than it is to come on as a total new face (i.e. Mykel Shannon Jenkins, Mikey Jerome).

Days could use a male for Billie. She needs a love interest bad. I love Travis and Monica. They feel the most "real." I feel more drawn in by them both then anyone. I could see Travis as Brady. Good casting that would be.

Loving MBE and HS as judges. Could Bruno be anymore looks-driven? Then, he goes and knocks a girl's accent? Ugh. Replace him as a judge next.

I'm watching the Bewitched movie with Nicole Kidman and I've noticed the set used for the bedroom on Soapstar is from the movie...the scenes where they're shooting Bewitched in a hotel room, the hotel room set is the exact same as the one used on Soapstar.

How odd is that?

Here's what I can guess...

Bewitched was made by Columbia Pictures, which owns/is part of Sony Pictures, which makes Days.

Maybe when Bewitched was made in 2005 they figured it was a nice set to keep around; was it ever used on DAYS?

Billie needs singlehood bad. Must every character always be dating, married to, or having sex with someone?

Many people disliked Sheffer's comments about the importance of good looks over acting talent. Seems like Bruno is not the only one in daytime that put good looks on a pedestal.

I was shocked that Travis acted so badly in the last show but still was surprised he was axed. He was my fave guy. I thought he had a very good chance of winning and thought (too) that he'd be good as a NuBrady Black. I think Ashleigh is good, but she needs to improve. I do think she might be good as Evangeline on ONE LIFE, but also might make a good relative of Lexie's on DAYS. I think Monica looks like Renée Elise Goldsberry and would make a good Layla (although I like Tika Sumpter as Layla). I agree that Monica also would be good as a Dani Frye re-cast on AMC. I hate Justin's eyebrows, they make him look gay (sorry). Guys should NOT arch their eyebrows!! I don't even like women doing it much, lol. Only some women look good w/ eyebrows arched. Justin's a good actor, but don't see him on DAYS (maybe as a gay character).

Will there be another season of I Wanna Be A Soap Star? If so, for what show will wannabe thespians be competing to be on? I think it's going to be for Y&R with Karen Rea and possibly LML being the judges. If only Victoria Rowell were still on the show. That woman just rocks!

    • Also Victor being the obstacle for Kyle/Claire feels forced. If anything it should be Diane. Diane has a history of having issues with the Newmans, doesn’t she? Jack could be the one trying to reel her in while she’s meddling in Kyle and Claire’s relationship. They’re making the characters of Diane, Victoria, Nick, Sharon be way too complacent when they could have a stronger role in the younger characters like Mariah/Tessa, Kyle/Claire etc 
    • A year later we had these ratings for the week of May 11-17 1987. This was probably the last time the CBS soaps (at least til Dallas’ finale) ranked this high. Dynasty had already ended its season.  CBS reran the Dallas Early Years movie on Saturday night against Golden Girls’ season finale, which was the failed Empty Nest back door pilot.  Interestingly a repeat Family Ties was #1 this week. The week before the season finale of Family Ties beat out Cosby as well, but it was Cheers that beat them both out with Diane’s exit.

      I'm writing a series of essays about the first time of a LGBT character in US soaps. I already have datas about Sharon Duvall in DAYS (1977) as first Bisex, Lynn Carson in AMC (1983) as first Lesbian, Hank Elliott on ATWT (1989) as first Gay (someone have or can find the episode in which Paul Ryan finds out about Hank and does not take it very well? I have seen Hank's coming out to Iva and when Hank gets a bullet to save Paul's life from the latter evil father and when he gets tested for HIV after finding out Charlie's diagnosis, but Soap Opera Digest recaps are too much concises...) and Billy Douglas on OLTL (1992) as first LGBT teen in both daytime and primetime TV (I have seen all the episodes on You Tube. BTW, what a great storyline, why it was ignored by the Emmys? Andrew Carpenter and Billy's father players are both really great in their roles! Oh, well, if OLTL was not nominated for Best Drama in 1994 with Marty's gang rape story which won four major awards and was spectacular, no surprise at all - sadly) and I have read something about Azure in The City (1996) as first Trans, but I'd like to see the episode where Bernado finds out and Azure confirms what is said in that newspaper to have something to quote. I like quoting, it gives the essays more depth. I already read the biweekly recaps from Soap Opera Digest on Tumblr and single episodes recaps on IMDB, but I'd like to have more to write about. And something more about critics and public opinions - I only knows that the storyline was rapidly axed because of bad writing and bad performance by Carlotta Chung, but I have nothing to quote.   PS Thank you @JAS0N47 for your incredible and rich site (and work on it). In particular for the Nielsen ratings on weekly basis lists since 1974 and for everything about Sharon Duval - specially for the script of the confession episode dated 23 May 1977! I'm not a DAYS viewers (I'm Italian, I live in Italy and on You Tube there is almost nothing if not short videos), but I've seen some clips of Marlena's first possession (Deidre Hall is terrific in it! Storyline is garbage, but it has its chilling moments and it is funny - I laugh everytime I remember Kristen say to Marlena "according to the book of demonology"! Was she an espert of demons or what!? ) and read on Soap Opera Central daily recaps about infamous Melaswen (brainwashed Marlena has a particular sense of humor - killing ex alcoholic Maggie with a bottle of wine and Alice with her donuts...), so I know something about the soap. Little, but better than nothing.

    • I'm curious the motivation for keeping Bela on beyond the circus story arc.  Did he play a character like his character on EON, or was he more of a good guy? I know he ended up with Sunny at the end of the series, but I always thought that Sunny/Hogan could have been revived once the lack of chemistry between him and the NuLiza became apparent.   Actually... the NuLiza (Louan Gideon) reminded me more of Sunny than she did Liza as played by Sherry... and she just threw off the whole vibe of the show. I see Estelle has just arrived in the late October 1985 episodes, which only means that Wendy and Stephanie are soon on their way out.   It also appears that the Sarah/Quinn/Wendy triangle was set up by Mayer.. and it looks as though Tomlin is going to deactivate it by the introduction of Colleen Dion's character.   I don't understand why no one on the show thought to look at Quinn and realize that he was the problem and write him out.

    • I kind of assume they're toning down Rachel's bad seed tendencies a bit to make it less obvious if they're going for her as the shooter. At least that's what I hope they're doing - I've really enjoyed Rachel being a bratty evil DiMera princess and Marlena finally getting a grandchild she deserves.

      . This show is so stupid. Sonny killed an FBI agent less than a year ago by shooting him at point blank range. But the new short bald man is much much worse cause he was a bad guy in some part of Africa and managed to not kill Lucky, Isaiah, Jason, or Anna. This show is crippled by the mob all these years after Guza has been long gone.    Laura is literally saying oooo but Sonny is a good mobster for Port Charles. Give me a [!@#$%^&*].ing break. Sometimes I don’t know why I watch this joke of a show.
