Soap Opera Trivia

[All My Shadows]

NEW QUERSHTIN...

On 'Another World' and 'Somerset,' the character Lahoma was played by actress who later went on to have a very short stint on a popular sitcom?

[SFK]

Ann Wedgeworth as Lana on Three's Company!

Which Caucasian soap star was raised by an African-American stepfather?

[DRW50]

That's tough.

[Bright Eyes]

SFK, what is the answer, yo?

[SFK]

Robin Strasser. Robin was raised in part by her mother's husband, African American artist Roy DeCarava. Robin says that given her dark features, she often heard whispers when walking down the street with her mother and stepfather, people commenting on her "biracial" looks.

[Mr. Vixen]

I didn't know that! How interesting.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

Here's my question. On the 3 ABC daytime shows. All besides GH. What three characters has done one of these things. And. which one did they do.

Who has been married to a hooker?

Who's been a hooker?

And, who has slept with a hooker in their parents' own bed?

[juniorz1]

That was because the theme song at the time ended with the spelling of the show's title "L-O-V-I-N-G."

But yea, that's a terrible name for a show. Almost as bad as GH2.

A) Chuck Tyler

Karen Wolek

C) Not sure. I am guessing someone from Ryans Hope??

Who was Michael E. Knight's Dean of Studens when he was in college?

[EricMontreal22]

This is SO SO old but I see nobody in the earlier question mentioned Loving was meant to be called Love Without End (which I think is a slightly better title.)

[Paul Raven]

Thanks Eric for bumping this up.

Hope we can get things moving...

Here's a question

Name the character that spent the longest time off the canvas before returning?

[Bright Eyes]

If we were including UK soaps, the answer would be Philip Lowrie (Dennis Tanner, Coronation Street), who left in the 60's and returned a couple years ago.

US wise, the only one I can think of right now is Jean Bruce Scott (Jessica Fallon, Days of Our Lives), who left in 1982 and returned for a brief stint last year, making that a 30 year span.

[Paul Raven]

Thanks Bright Eyes

Jessica's return set a record. Before that the longest time between stints belonged to Meta on Guiding Light and Anna on Days. Both were off their shows for around 22 years.

Your turn for a question

[Bright Eyes]

Other than Amanda Peters' forced abortion in 1979, there have been two abortions in DAYS history. Mimi Lockhart is the second, but which female character was the first and who was the father?

[Paul Raven]

Mmmmm - this is a tough one. Can't think of an answer of the top of my head. Anyone else want to have a shot?
