Members stenbeck212 Posted December 3, 2007 Members Share Posted December 3, 2007 Because of SoapNet's ridiculous plans to start airing movies unrelated to soaps on Sunday nights, I started thinking about movies that actually relate to the industry. I came up with a few and hit a roadblock. Soapdish Tootsie Passion Fish Are there more? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Soapdish is the best. But i could just think that beacuse of my love for Elizabeth Shue. there is some john candy movie where he is a soap opera writer and he falls into a coma and wakes up in his soap opera town.

Members DaytimeFan Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 'Soapdish' is absolutely the best. Naturally, it was produced by Aaron Spelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 That's "Delirious" I think. They could so totally pick up those soapy TVmovies and mini-series from the 80s and early 90s. I'm talking..."Hollywood Wives"..."Bare Essence"..."Scruples"...hell, even "The Thorn Birds."

Members DaytimeFan Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 'Hollywood Wives' ----> I remember that one! It was a trashterpiece! The funny thing was how talented the cast was (Anthony Hopkins, Candice Bergen, Steve Forrest, Stefanie Powers etc) and how out of place they all seemed in a mini series that was so camp.

Members Graciecat Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Soap dish is definitely the best. There's also Nurse Betty. Renee Zelwegger witnesses a traumatic event, and thinks her favorite soap opera is all real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 I effing LOVE it. Candice Bergen married to Steve Forrest, who's screwing Mary Crosby? And Stefanie Powers married to Anthony Hopkins, who's sleeping with Suzanne Somers? Not to mention Stefanie stole him from Joanna Cassidy. And you have Andrew Stevens married to Catherine Mary Stewart, and then Andrew finds out his birth mother is Angie Dickinson...and his father is Steve Forrest! And Candice is a kleptomaniac, stealing Gucci bags whenever she gets upset. I [!@#$%^&*] LOVE IT! AND MISS IT, SO, SO, SO MUCH!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dan Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 There's always the made-for-TV movie "The Cradle Will Fall," based on the Mary Higgins Clark novel. Several GL cast members--Charita Bauer, Jerry verDorn and others--were featured predominately in the movie and the setting was moved to Springfield's Cedars.

Members stenbeck212 Posted December 4, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 I totally forgot about that one. There was also "Woman On The Ledge," With Colleen Zenk Pinter, Leslie Charleson and a few more soap vets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted December 4, 2007 Members Share Posted December 4, 2007 Fantasies was an ABC TV movie from 1982 A crazed killer stalked the cast of a soap. ABC daytime stars of the time appeared Peter Bergman Stuart Damon Robin Mattson John Gabriel Robert S Woods Susan Lucci also made a series of ABC TV movies I think she got these as part of a renewal deal with AMC.They include Seduced and Betrayed French Silk The Woman Who Sinned The Bride in Black Lady Mobster Haunted By Her Past Love Boat also did a soap episode.I think Kim Delaney and Sharon Gabet were some of the guests.Maybe others will have more info.
