Members SFK Posted March 6, 2011 Members Share Posted March 6, 2011 Two Greta Powerseses? That can't be a coincidence, right? I've always wondered if the name choice for Generations' Doreen was at least a *little* inspired by OLTL's Dorian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 6, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 6, 2011 Yes that Greta Powers thing is a bit odd. Greta on TD was originally Greta Van Allen and became Greta Powers when Matt married her mother Maggie,so it seems to be just a coincidence.

Members All My Shadows Posted March 7, 2011 Members Share Posted March 7, 2011 As unique as B&B's names have been, I guess the undisputed champion of exclusive name use would be Dark Shadows. Barnabas, Angelique, Laszlo, Millicent, Bruno, Naomi, Magda, Sandor, Bramwell, Flora, Josette, Leticia, Quentin, Burke, Gerard, Aristede, Pansy, Minerva, Mordecai, Jeremiah, Jamison, Desmond, Kendrick, Cyrus, Sebastian, Kitty, and others.

Members MichaelGL Posted March 7, 2011 Members Share Posted March 7, 2011 On Loving...they had a character named Egypt and Rocky, and I believe both names were used for female characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 7, 2011 Members Share Posted March 7, 2011 Yes, they were both women. Rocky was Rena Sofer. Brandy on EON is even more interesting given that her full name is Brandeis. Was Brandy Jewish on the show? I know she was a lawyer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 7, 2011 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2011 Actually,Brandy's full name was Olivia Brandeis Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
