Also in this issue is an article on soap sets. The photo is of the sarcophagus, which is Styrofoam painted gold. That's sculptor Frank Lincoln Viner and scenic artist Stuart Boughton. I will type up the sections which talk about RH.

From the December 1977 Soap Opera Digest. This was part of a larger feature on pets and soap stars.

Rewind scheduled for 11/4 - the schedule runs 6 am through 5 am the next day.

It looks like Soapnet is going to stop where they did in 2003 - and not go the extra week of episodes to the end of 1981 - as they did in 2007.

Thanks for giving us a heads up. That's a shame. I wanted to see the extra episodes one last time, as I think I taped over mine. The last episode of that run was, I believe, EJ working as Barbara's assistant and being caught in her dressing room or something.

[safe]

Carl, that IS where Soapnet stopped in 2003.

In 2007, in the last scene, EJ was fired from The Proud and The Passionate - after Delia had sent Barbara an anonymous letter exposing EJ as a reporter.

Oh. Thanks.

I wonder if I kept any of those last 1981 episodes or not. I can't remember if I saw those.

So was that 10 episodes, or 5?

[safe]

In 2007, Soapnet aired appoximately 10 more episodes than in 2003.

[DRW50]

Thanks. I guess those aren't online. I wonder why they made the change in 2007? I wish I could remember if I had them. I taped over some 1981 stuff as I was not fond of that year, to say the least.

I really appreciate you telling us about this. I hope I haven't posted any articles or anything you already did. I loved the stuff you posted earlier this year.
