The oldest set in daytime?


Recommended Posts

Must have been due to different camera angles. The Chancellor living room set remains untouched since 1974. You can read in Y&R's Silver Jubilee Encyclopedia that this set was really expensive (they used real silk on the walls apparently) and everyone was so glad that Kay turned out to be pillar of the show and the set has existed for 30+ years... :D

I think other sets on various shows might be older but they all have been remoled/rebuilt. GH's nurses station would be the eldest, I guess, if they hadn't torn it down twice (once in early 80s(?) and the other in the early 90s(?)).

If they never remodeled the Horton living room, it sure is the eldest set of DAYS and soaps in general.

Billie and Austin too actually. Billie with Carrie, and Austin with Sami. Can't remember if Carrie and Austin lived together in this apartment or in the other one down the hall.

Ohh, and Nicole moved in when she worked for Austin's company. Sami, Austin and Nicole all lived there together, the apartment mysteriously got another room. lol

Then there's the pub set we saw while Bo, Hope, John etc went searching for Colleen in Ireland. It was used in Aremid and for Susan and Edmund when they went into hiding in England and also when Bo and Billie was looking for Georgia (Chelsea) in Austria. Obviously it wasn't supposed to be the same pub.

We had the Blue Note set which has been used for various night club sets through the years.

Maggie's restaurant has been remade twice. One time when Maggie "dies", Bonnie got crazy and went all Western, and later when Maggie got it back she made it classy again. It was referred to the same location the whole time though.

Nicole/Gretas apartment was not the same set as EJs. I think EJs was Jonah and Wendys.

The set that was used as Romans house in 2002-2003 was used as Stefanos hideout in 1997-1998.

The tower that Princess Ginas was locked in 1999 was alos used as a set on the DiMera compound in 2002.

The set for Fays house (1999-2001) was used as Bonnies in late 2003.

Kates hotel room in 2002 was Celestes in 2004, Steve and Kaylas 2006-2008 and is currently used as Trents.

In 1997 the Salem Place set was redecorated to look like an italian market during the Rome story.

    • I had a situation last week where I could watch the new episode on Paramount Plus on my laptop, but it wasn't even listed on my TV as an option.

    • I'm trying to think whether AW had anything remotely resembling that once Steve was killed off and Alice left a widow. So many young love stories were wrapped up either by marrying and leaving town or marrying and killing off one party. Maybe they acted in the final year as if Vicky and Jake had been that couple all along, but they both had better other mates along the way and also Jake was actively hostile to Vicky at too many points without any subtext of caring about her.

      ️, so all the more time to watch/rewatch these past three scorching episodes. What were some of your favorite moments? @beyondthegatescbs            
    • Beth Ehlers thanked Beth Chamberlain by name from the mic saying she was THE BEST person to be in a triangle with.  Generally speaking I loved Judi's Beth but then also strongly liked BethC's Beth but I did not like the whole Lorelei stage!!! 
    • Yep, it seemed temporary, lasted 3-5 minutes, then BACK! Yea.  Thanks. 
    • Oh but those "Pharleys" were very adamant that they stay together and be featured everyday (though I did like their websites and the recaps they gave each day.) I agree, they were interesting at first, but the longer it went on the more Harley became this sad sack jealous wife, the more Phillip became a dumb Josh type character torn between two women and the more Beth became a pathetic looser chasing her ex.   I think after Beth came back it would have been an interesting triangle of three "good" people trying to find a way, and I did like the "Who killed Carl" and how Harley and Beth had to work together there, but we all know Phillip would have dumped Harley to get together with Beth, Harley would have been hurt but dusted herself off and moved on, and eventually Beth and Phillip would implode. They didn't bring back one Reardon or Bauer for Mo's funeral...did anyone think they would waste money and energy on poor sad Nadine?
