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 know Curlee/Demorest tried to give Roger a conscience in regard to raping Holly, and Zas is magnificent in those scenes with Alex. But he kinda ends up blaming Adam and the fact he (well, really the writers) ignores raping Rita and being responsible for her and Ed's child's death make it less than convincing.  I do think during 89-93 they were careful to not whitewash his past with Holly, but his occasional bouts of conscience always seemed to be overridden by his obsession/lust for her. The only purely good thing I can ever recall him doing is helping Maureen during the blackout, and even then, had she lived, he would've found a way to call that favor in.
    • Regardless, I'd still like to see more episodes from the 80s...there is very little of Charlotte Greer, Kirklands and Greenberg's out there sadly.
    • A black family having a white maid would be a good subversion of stereotypes. Also want to say that while the overall show has many flaws, the biggest one that's legitimately stifling is the lack of a rival family.
    • I also do not like the bits I've seen with Delia during Labine's 83 return. I am glad when she came back for the last time in 1986, she allowed Delia to move on from Frank. 
    • Thanks for the well-detailed reply. I'm fairly early in my viewing, so I have some time before it goes nuts. Thanks a lot! @kalbir and @DRW50 thank you so much. I am just approaching 100 episodes, so I'm good for now. 
    • The Duprees as the main family isn't the problem, but the fact is that over 3/4 of the cast are Duprees.. so it limits coupling potential and also keeps the canvas too closed in. Too many female Duprees and no hetero, nor gay, male Duprees is also a problem.   I also agree with @DemetriKanethat the male characters are one note, and not very layered/interesting... outside of Bill, that is. To me, I would have focused on either Nicole's family and dynamics or Dani's family and dynamics instead of trying to introduce/develop both families at the same time.  Nicole's family is more developed and interesting with loads of storyline possiblities then Dani's family right now. And because MVJ and co decided to feature so many Duprees... we're less likely to be free of any outside characters like Ashley/Derek since they're the non-Dupree part of the canvas.

    • I can not see Kat as a police officer and do not want that for her. Thats not her passion nor does she care about that stuff. The stuff with Eva and Leslie is specific to her life and wanting to protect her family. Her "detective" skills have more to do with her business background, which makes her very analytical and pay close attention to details. If this show had a corporation, she'd make a shrewed businesswoman and CEO I definitely dont want to see her sleep with her cousin's husband. That would be too much of a Hayley redux which ironically you dont want with the Sharon/Hayley theory
    • I would make Jan, Ashley's mom, Anita and Vernon's maid. It would lock in to why Leslie would choose to befriend both her and Mona. It also gives Ashley a connection to the Duprees and explains how she befriended Naomi. I would have had Derek start the show as a cop to explain his connection to Jacob. Kat needs to realize that she is MADE to be a detective. Have her go through police training, making the appropriate comments about the uniform along the way. Have her prove she is so much more than a rich princess, even to herself. Then, when Jacob's partner is proven to be dirty, Kat is assigned as Jacob's rookie trainee. At the same time, Naomi does finally get a case she can follow through on. Her client is a person that Jacob arrested. This puts them at odds because Jacob knows this person did it, as does Kat, but Naomi only sees the extenuating circumstances and believes he deserves a lighter sentence and a second chance. THAT is when Jacob will turn to Kat in frustration and she will lose her virginity to him. 
    • This opened my eyes and appeals to my logic. But, don't you also think that the fact that they are so ill-suited means that, by soap-opera-laws, they aren't a long term item?  I like how Belle is written now, so I appreciate the fact that she is in this story.  But, I don't believe anything will become of it, and I think EJ is going to mess it up very soon.  Which explains why I don't get too worked up over it. I'm also suspending my outrage until I see how EJ treats Belle during her mourning.  If he cheats with Cat, then we'll know that he was never meant to be happy.
