Members Matt Posted May 30 Members Share Posted May 30 Draper/April's house was in Oakdale (later sold to "Kirk" & Emily during the amnesia story). And when Jody came to town, it was said that she was raised in Springfield. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 30 Members Share Posted May 30 I didn't know that tidbit about Jody. Thanks for sharing that! Stuff like this just makes me wish all the P&G shows were on the same network b/c the crossovers amongst the shows would've been epic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maxim Posted June 2 Members Share Posted June 2 Raven is a force of nature... And Nola... boy, oh, boy... The show will not be the same after Kim departs... I have very little episodes left before that happens! And I will miss her. Sooo much. She is my current wallpaper actually. I adore this woman.

Members Broderick Posted June 3 Members Share Posted June 3 Have no fear!! Nola Madison will "thank the Academy, my producer, my director, and all the Little People in the Audience who made my performance in Mansion of the Damned so ENCHANTING", before she sweeps off the screen like Norma Desmond in Sunset Blvd. (It's an especially memorable farewell to an especially memorable character.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 8 Members Share Posted June 8 Does anyone know why they opted to say David works for the CEA instead of the CIA? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted June 8 Members Share Posted June 8 I feel like at the time there was a bit more restrictions about talking about characters belonging to a real life agency, involved with real world politics etc. But that's just my guess. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted June 8 Members Share Posted June 8 I agree, the culture of nationalism during the Reagan Era would have frowned upon US spies who working were against the government's interest. Which is why he got the CEA, the WSB, and the ISA on various soaps in the 1980s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members NothinButAttitude Posted June 8 Members Share Posted June 8 Now that you all framed it that way, it now makes sense. I just kept watching each episode and kept wondering why they just didn't put them in the real organizations they were referencing, but now I get it. Thank you both! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted Friday at 07:41 AM Members Share Posted Friday at 07:41 AM Variety reported June 79 that Dennis Parker (Derek) tested for a leading role in 'Can't Stop the Music' at that point titled 'Discoland Where The Music Never Stops' Parker was involved with Jacques Morali, who was behind the Village People and produced Dennis' album 'Like An Eagle' So maybe Jacques pushed for Dennis to get an audition? Seems likely. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Friday at 07:47 AM Members Share Posted Friday at 07:47 AM (edited) The Rialto Report (warning - NSFW site) profile on Dennis talked about this. Henri Belolo (EP on Dennis' "Like an Eagle" song) claimed that Jacques really wanted him to be in the movie, but Allan Carr refused. Henri believed that due to Allan's desires for young men, he was jealous of all the attention Dennis got. Jacques and Allan had a huge fight which Henri had to mediate. Ultimately Dennis wasn't in the film, although he was included in the promotion and premiere parties. One of Dennis' friends said Dennis told him Jacques had decided not to include him as a member of The Village People because he wanted to launch him as a solo star. Dennis himself was more ambivalent about the whole thing. Edited Friday at 07:48 AM by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted Friday at 08:19 AM Members Share Posted Friday at 08:19 AM Thanks @DRW50 for the extra info and reminding me of that website. Dennis' life story would make for an interesting TV series - from porn star to soap star and everything else that went with it... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Friday at 08:24 AM Members Share Posted Friday at 08:24 AM Absolutely. I'm so glad someone did as full a profile as we're likely to get while some involved are still alive. He led a fascinating life. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
