Members amybrickwallace Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 I wish Lisa would have been asked what it was like on SFT without Maree and what it was like working with Louise. Louise was one of the early examples of a Daytime Emmy not equaling job security. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 (edited) Either way I think we've poked a serious hole in another soap opera myth. Added to the list that Eileen Fulton was probably never slapped on the streets of New York by a fan, Phyllis Diller was not Susan Lucci's mother, and Maree never got fired because she joked about Gary Tomlin being caught in a tornado.

Members vetsoapfan Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 I believe the pecular myth that a certain actress from Y&R was/is transgender can also be laid to rest. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 I've thought of starting a whole thread on soap opera urban legends, but can believe there was a time when SOD actually published fans questioning an actor's gender assignment? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Nicholas Blair Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 Thank you, Paul. That confirms my vague impression that Gary Tomlin and Maree were on SFT at the same time and both would have interacted with Morgan Fairchild. Imdb is wrong again--shocker, I know. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchBug82 Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 WHAT? I heard some wild ones but I never heard that one. May I ask who - obviously knowing it is not true? And that is a fun idea for a thread. I won't have much to contribute as I don't personally that much gossip but I am sure I will read it avidly Please register in order to view this content Should we add "Mary Stuart was a monster" to the urban legend pile? lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 She was. She replied that it was “different” and that she obviously didn’t have the same connection with Louise (who was not mentioned by name). Eileen Davidson. Mary speaks well of Maree in her book. She took her home one night after Maree’s mom passed away; wouldn’t let Maree be alone. I think Mary is as much of a monster as Victoria Wyndham, who also tried to save “her” show for years, to no avail. Perhaps they were “difficult” because they fought so hard and ultimately lost. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 I guess I missed that part. Thanks. One of my local stations started airing reruns of Silver Spoons. I know Joel Higgins got his big TV break on SFT. Did anyone see him on SFT? I would have liked to see him on the soap after the goofy dad on the sitcom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members FrenchBug82 Posted October 19, 2021 Members Share Posted October 19, 2021 I can't see where that rumor could have come from. Not that we'd necessarily "know" but there is nothing about ED that looks.... Anyway thanks for telling me Please register in order to view this content And don't forget being women. In any case, the line is indeed very thin between being demanding for good reasons and being a "diva". Between caring deeply and passionately and being difficult. Etc. But it is only a certain type of women that get branded that way which says all that needs to be said. It doesn't mean it is not possible that some of them *are* crossing lines but I tend to approach those rumors with an extra dose of eyebrow-raised because we know how it works in show-business. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vetsoapfan Posted October 20, 2021 Members Share Posted October 20, 2021 In its early days, SOD was actually a classy publication with well-written articles. That has not lasted throughout the decades, alas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 20, 2021 Members Share Posted October 20, 2021 OK, I never knew that. I guess that was before he was on SFT? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted October 20, 2021 Members Share Posted October 20, 2021 I think it was after, circa 75-76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
