I was reading a Digest from late 1989 about celebrities appearing on soaps. They mentioned that Aretha Franklin had wanted to be on Y&R. Bill Bell wanted her to play a mother in a 1986 story about runaway teens, but she said she wanted to be in a story with Nikki and Victor and have fun. Bell then says that you can see why it didn't happen.

I think she would have been a lot of fun in a story with Victor and Nikki. I'm sorry he didn't go for it :(

I've also read her say that she's a big fan of Stephanie on B&B. Yeah, she (like Carol Burnett) wanted to do something diva-like. Carol went along with Agnes' idea, but they could (and should) have indulged Aretha if she was interested. A bird in the hand... I wonder if they've approached her recently. Here you have a living legend, the Queen of Soul more than willing to do something but they'd rather dig up bodies from the TGIF graveyard.

Hey Carl, do you by any chance have the November 19, 1991 issue of Soap Opera weekly? because if you do, can you post the article about a Walk, Run and Roll fundraiser in Santa Monica California? The people from Y&R that attended that event were Kimberlin, Kristoff and Scott (Reeves), and i really want to see the pictures in that article to see if their is an actual picture of those 3 posing together, cause thats and interesting threesome.

Okay, Thanks hope you find it. Actually while i'm thinking about it, do you know if you have any old magazines that have Kimberlin Brown and Scott Reeves posing for a pic together? I just really think that would be kind of cool to see a Sheila/Ryan pic because its so hard to imagine them having any interaction.

Yeah i have a lot of old SOD's myself, but i have never scanned them on here before, I would like to learn though because there is a lot of interesting early 90's Y&R articles to post that people would like to see.

I really hope you or someone else finds old articles/pics of Kimberlin and Scott. soap mags are usually famous for having unlikely duos pose together so anything is possible.

Well Rauch did have Cassie and Olivia in a mud fight.

Apparently MTS was about five months pregnant when Nikki began stripping so I don't know if she would have done mud wrestling anyway, although I can picture a double or something.

Were there ever any scenes of a pregnant Nikki going back to the strip club and asking if people remembered her? I've heard about those.

    • Not too shabby, making her mark in only six episodes. There's a project for the soap historians -- characters with the least episodes/most impact.
    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
