Members SFK Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 LOL, my bad, I had to go and mention it on my early '90s soap tangent! That's funny that I don't remember KT, then again, there probably were a ton of faces that would register now that didn't back then as I was primarily an AMC fan. I can still remember those first few times I flipped the channel to see what was going on on CBS and NBC. * * * I feel that I should mention the late Seli Groves. I don't know her for her syndicated soap column work, but I do have one of her books back home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I think of the Daytime Serial Newsletter written by Byrna Laub from December 1972 to December 1978. It was a monthly newsletter with summaries of each soaps and after some time, she added a Q&A column. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Geez, those are so detailed! Was this for the crossover Dungeons & Dragons/soap fans? I miss the days of this stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I found these pics at boardgamegeek.com, the premiere destination online for any and all info you could want about any and all games. Those character cards are beautiful and I am sorely tempted to crop one into an avatar for this forum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Yes, they are gorgeous. The 80s was excellent for this type of stuff. Tasia Valensia reminds me of Eden Reigel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Oh my God. I want. I can't believe that at one time this was easily within my grip, sometimes you really should bug bug bug your parents for certain things, especially when your mom is a huge soap fan anyway. Those game pieces on the GH game look like the ones for Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Am I the only one with my nose pressed up against the screen trying to read the back of those cards? I love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thank you quartermainefan! "Jesse is a talented, versatile, passionate, and inventive young black..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thank you for the captions, quartermainfan. This reminds me that AMC does have some classic characters from the 80s who could still impact story today, if they brought them back. Like Greg, Hillary, and Dottie.

Members soapfan770 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 You mean these? A bit odd yes, I wonder who the publisher was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members You're Soaking in it Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 That was Bauer Publishing (Soaps In Depth), who also published the previously folded Soap Opera Update (and does In Touch Weekly, I believe). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted December 18, 2009 Members Share Posted December 18, 2009 Anyone remember Soap Opera Magazine? It was pretty much a direct rip-off of Soap Opera Weekly, back when SOW was worth ripping off. Anyway, SOM was easily the WORST soap rag of all-time.
