Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 29, 2022 Members Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) Great! And, there's even more to the day! A four part video is up on YT. This was the 4th one. Editing In: Still about Anne Heche, I heard today that her organ donations went to 8 separate individuals! That just chokes me up. So wonderful. Correction: It is not known how many individuals received organ donations. Some unsavory types are saying that they will sell the names of them & claimed the number. Edited August 30, 2022 by Tonksadora new info found to be inaccurate, untrue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 Perusing the minor characters list briefly reminded me of confusing it was to see Bill Shanks pop up on AW months after a high-profile exit on ATWT. I wonder if he was ever planned to have a larger role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members teplin Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 Well, that was fun. I was amazed at how many of them I remembered ... and how many went on to bigger things. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 On the one hand it appears the part of Mark was recast after only a few weeks. On the other Amanda whom he had been dating reconciled with Sam after a couple of months and that seemed to leave the character nowhere. Seems a lot like planned obsolescence since they didn't set up any other storyline for him. I noticed the entries for Jake's parents Alice and Ray (as they were called to set up the Kevin half brother storyline). It made me wonder who had played Jake's mother, then called Helen, who had lunch with Kathleen the day Marissa was flying back to Bay City in August 1986. Since she's not in the Minor Characters I suppose if she's anywhere she's just listed as a Day Player without a character name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I remembered this bit of trivia from our review of the classic SOD news Tumblr of April 16, 1991 Please register in order to view this content @Franko & I searched for Tom and Mavis and found that the character was re-named Mark, then re-cast, and no word of Mavis was ever found Edited August 30, 2022 by j swift 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 Good eye @j swift . I am trying to remember if the soaps here ever had a major character named Mavis. Corrie, of course, had an iconic character with that name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) The only character I can think of is Mavis Cobb on Texas. She was Lurlene's aunt and played by Dody Goodman. During this period, SOD had a lot of scoops about casting for new roles that never came to fruition. I recall talk of casting a model named Bliss. Speculation was that Bliss was going to turn out to be Felicia's daughter. Edited August 31, 2022 by robbwolff Corrected typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted August 30, 2022 Members Share Posted August 30, 2022 What was the name that Alicia Coppola said turned into Lorna? I thought it was something weird and old fashioned. Could it have been Mavis? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted August 31, 2022 Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 LORNA DEVON GENERAL INFORMATION First Appearance: April 25, 1991 Given that the information was published in the 4/16/91. Mark (renamed from Tom) was introduced on 4/10, and Lorna on 4/25, that is a brilliant guess! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Xanthe Posted August 31, 2022 Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 (edited) Searched the forum, confirmed (I should have done this as a proper quote, these are @Forever8 's comments ) Edited August 31, 2022 by Xanthe Trying to make quote better 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted August 31, 2022 Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 Look at us, we're all so friggin' brilliant and resourceful! I've always liked the name "Mavis." I once wanted to name a pair of twins "Mavis and Miranda," which my brother rightfully mocked me for. (Our mom has a cousin Avis, which, of course, was the name of Sigourney Weaver's character on Somerset.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted August 31, 2022 Author Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 Meg Myles played Mavis Stone on SFT. Alice Hirson was Maevis Anderson (Miss Ellie's bestie) on Dallas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vetsoapfan Posted August 31, 2022 Members Share Posted August 31, 2022 Corrie also had the memorable name Ena Sharples, which was one of the best soap character names of all time, LOL! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
