[juniorz1]

Steve- did you ever hear the Philiece Sampler being despised by her DAYS co-stars rumor?

[SteveFrame]

I'll go ahead and put this out there too. This is from the book I used before.

10 of the Wildest Rumors Ever Spread About Soap Stars

1) Eileen Davison Was Once A Man

2) Margaret Klenck's Death (she was on OLTL and The New York Times actually erroneously printed her obituary. It was actually an actress by the name of Edwina Lewis which was the character Klenck played on OLTL)

3) Hunter Tylo Kimberlin Brown Were Lovers

4) Tony Geary Was Engaged to Elizabeth Taylor

5) Susan Lucci & Robin Strasser Are the Daughters of Phyllis Diller

6) Jane Elliot Bought Her Emmy

7) Michael Sabatino Was a Bigmist

8) William Gray Espy Is A Monk

9) Roy Thinnes Urged His Fans to Send Death Threats to Castmates

10) Prince Albert of Monaco Planned to Marry Lauralee Bell

I believe you're referring to Jeff Griggs (ex-Jude St. Clair). I know he had a gay porn past, but I always thought he got along with KA.

I've heard rumors that Kristian Alfonso didn't get along with Lisa Rinna either, and that she was jealous of Eileen Davidson's airtime, which is why we got the dreadful Princess Gina storyline after Davidson left.

[SteveFrame]

Yes. And supposedly that is what partly lead to her being chosen as one of the serial killer victims.

Check out her Adam's Apple for further proof.

I heard that they were swingers & they & their husbands would get coked up and have hot tub orgies.

I hope not. Mitch Blake was the hotness!

I'll go ahead and list a few more things from the book.

What happened with GH and Tia Carrere?

[SFK]

Have heard that one too. He was Coltin then, Stephen/Steven when he joined GL.

Not so much rumor as slice of life, but someone who has been in her home told me that Looch's basement is a shrine to all things SL. Not such an unusual thing, many actors (like Joan Collins) have a similar vanity room. This person added that mom was always so busy,\ the kids were raised mostly by a treasured housekeeper/nanny, and mom made the most of every moment she had with her children.

And this is an old one, but she apparently pounded the table and exited the ballroom in tears when Robin Strasser won the Emmy in '82.

[juniorz1]

Oh, I'm pretty sure the Hunter Tylo/Kimberlin Brown stuff is true. What do they say- when rumors persist, there is usually a kernel of truth?

[SteveFrame]

When Tia was on at one point her appearances got very slim - down to one time a week. So she went on auditions and got a job on the A Team which was against the stipulations of her contract which said she could not act on any other show without GH's permission. She offered to do both shows, but Monty refused to allow it. She went ahead and took the job anyway so GH sued her for a million dollars. The A Team producers didn't want to get in the middle of it, so they fired her and she returned to work on GH but they fired her too.

[SarahJoyBrownFF]

LOL! This one has been around since I was toothless! LOL! I heard this one and thought it was true for a nano second.

[SteveFrame]

You never know.

Whatever it was it is long gone because according to the book they can't stand each other now. It says that when Hunter left Michael Tylo the first time that Kimberlin and her husband took Michael's side in the split. Hunter later went back to Michael, but the two couples were never friends again. It says it got so bad that both actresses hired bodyguards to protect themselves from the other actress.

[dm.]

Wow, I never knew that. Never mess with your contract...

[Port Oak Valley]

Whats the story on Gordon Thomson vs. Dynasty and Donna Reed vs. Dallas?

[Heyou]

Yep, heard that one too.I could buy it if it were Raya Medine (ex-Sabrina) it was referring to.I completely forgot about that!
