Members soapfan770 Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 Lol it actually might be pure coincidence actually. In fact the Crystal Lake reference may be a instant of real life veracity given their is a real Crystal Lake, Illinois just 20 miles south of the real Genoa City, Wisconsin. Given Bell's great familiarity with the area it wouldn't be a surprise he'd actual reference a nearby real resort lake as opposed to a Friday the 13th reference. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 haha true....I forget sometimes how Bill Bell liked to reference actual places close to his heart, to add some realism...with that said, I always thought it was funny how both Peter Barton and Scott Reeves starred in one of the Friday the 13th movies before they came on Y&R....I think you even saw Barton's bare ass in that one.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 Lol I remember the Scott Reeves one, it was embarrassingly bad! Like that Nightmare on Elm Street movie that had Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold playing the neighbors, the movie made it sound like Jason became a Muppet. . It's quite weird how the Friday the 13th movies were usually no name and low budget but a number of starts did get their start their too. The one with Reeves also had Kelly Hu in it in an early role for her! The one with Barton had Corey Feldman playing the kid and Crispin Glover in it too. Lar Park was the no name lead in New Blood and next thing you know she's playing Linda Fairgate on Knots Landing looking her real age. I'm always checking this page whenever I see new posts just to see if I ever miss any old videos so I don't miss them before it's too late. Nice to see those Dickson clips! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 Don't forget Kevin Bacon! LOLThose movies are so notorious of having actors that just gave up or moved on from their careers, besides the ones we mentioned....(also Renee Jones was in the "Jason Lives" one where we were treated to watching Jason rip her pretty head off...LOL) I still appreciate how back then it seemed like most of the actors who later joined a soap like Barton, Reeves, and Jones didn't see the genre as a "step down" compared how most young actors today thinks being a part of a popular movie franchise means you always have to get "bigger" and "better" roles in primetime/other movies....never giving soaps a thought or the time of day.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 (edited) Betsy Palmer (Knots Landing) played Mrs. Voorhees in the first one with Kevin. Amy Steel, (GL) and Lauren Marie Taylor (Loving) were in part 2. Dana Kimmell from the soap Texas was in part 3.

Members YRBB Posted March 11, 2016 Members Share Posted March 11, 2016 Ah, thanks! Like I said, it would be a very weird joke for Y&R, of all soaps, to make, so this makes much more sense lol 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members YRfan23 Posted March 12, 2016 Members Share Posted March 12, 2016 Thanks for the articles....these events always sound like fun, and I loved the picture of Jeanne playing with Kimberlin's baby daughter...Kind of shocked Braeden was there as It seems like he usually avoids these type of things....They were going for a John Silva/Lynne romance?....didn't know that....That woman who plays Ivana looks like Melissa Claire Egan in that photo... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 12, 2016 Author Members Share Posted March 12, 2016 She does. I always enjoyed Ivana. By far the best part of that Jessica/Dylan stuff. It was a surprise to see just about everyone appear. And definitely a surprise about the John/Lynne thing. I don't remember that. They seemed to drop any story for John or Lynne fairly quickly. At first I thought the guy who played Norman was the one who played April's abusive husband. Victoria's porn peddler also has that look. I guess Bell stuck to types. By the time this issue went to press, Heidi Mark had already been replaced by Sharon Case. They said that after the first two firings, Sharon would now be on recurring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted March 12, 2016 Members Share Posted March 12, 2016 I wish there was more of that story around....I sometimes forget how limited B&B is of any clips dealing with any of their "secondary" characters from the old days...I honestly can't tell if the John/Lynne thing was meant to be funny or not....I could see them hooking up though.....maybe a trial hook up did happen onscreen before it was dropped....Yeah those guys all look alike LOL.....It was nice to read that the dude in Victoria's centerfold story was a big Y&R/Victor fan....so it was Heidi Mark after Monica Potter..I always get confused on who came first and second before Case....not to mention they also had another Doris and Amy before Karen Hensel and Julianne Morris...............between those 3 and the original Mari Jo before Diana Barton, I wonder why Bell Bell struggled with these casting decisions... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted March 12, 2016 Members Share Posted March 12, 2016 You're welcome! Y&R(along with B&B of course) has been the one soap to actually take advantage of writing in actual nearby locations ie taking to trips to Chicago and Green Bay, Alice and Cassie living in Madison, Christine "dumping" Isabella's body in Lake Michigan etc. Oddly I don't think Milwaukee has ever been mentioned. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
