Soap Opera Feuds

Carla would have thrived on Rauch's OLTL had they made her Victor's daughter, put wads of cash in her pockets, dressed her to the nines, and thrown her into an awkward triangle, come quad, with Viki, Dorian, and Tina. OLTL would have had its answer to Dominique Deveraux. Carla may have womp-womped like Dominique, but I think that's the big, splashy kind of '80s soap story that would have given Carla a fighting chance on Rauch's OLTL.

I'd still like to know exactly what Tony Geary's problem with Greg Vaughan was.

I realize that Geary never wanted Lucky recast and that the Lucky character was taken in an unlikely direction when Vaughan took over, but Geary always seemed really nasty with Vaughan, even when Luke and Lucky were actually getting along.

Re: TG & Larry, the only theory that I can come up with is that perhaps Larry may have held steadfast and upfront conservative views (as I know that both he and RH are Republicons) that TG* didn't care for. Other than that, I've got nothing (although I can't say that I was too bothered by TG's disdain for Larry, since I felt exactly the same way about that no-talent block of wood).

*While I can't speak for Shouty McYellerson's beliefs, I'm well aware that JJ is a Republicon and also know that he and TG are fond of one another because JJ has been described as being quite tolerant of others that don't share his beliefs.

I don't know if this would count as a feud but I just watched an episode of Watch What Happens Live from last month where Josh Duhamel was on and he confirmed that he and Ingo Rademacher got into a fight back when both were working for ABC. It was at a soap event and they put hands on each other and had to be broken up. Josh doesn't remember why they fought and said it was probably alcohol induced. He said everytime after that when they crossed each other there was tension

Over at Santa Barbara, Jane Sibbett (Jane Wilson) did NOT get along at all with her on-screen love interest, Richard Eden (Brick Wallace), who was floundering a bit after the departure of Kerry Sherman (Amy Perkins Wallace) for full-time motherhood. According to Sibbett, here's what happened:

I couldn't see them together, either. Maybe because I like Amy and Brick so much (hence my screen name), and they worked so well together, that even though Kerry Sherman left the show of her own accord, things just weren't the same. There was NO chemistry between Brick and Jane, and I couldn't see them going on a second date, much less leaving town together.

    • Phew, that was close to disaster!

      I suspect we would have had a few withdrawals next year if Israel had won. I don't think many people would relish going to Jerusalem as things stand now. Not to mention it would have been a prime target for terrorist attacks.   
    • And they've given us plenty. Sets, outdoor scenes, music licensing, etc. And that was the point of me using DAYS... so. It's obvious the casino set is not intended for long-term use, hence why it's likely it wasn't as evolved as the other community sets, etc.

    • I just had thought of how to save the Perkins family. (Inspired by Rituals) -- What if Marisa Perkins was Augusta Lockridge's sister? Fictionally, they could've both been local girls, one married rich and one married poor. Originally, I was going to suggest that Marisa be Sophia's sister, but then I realized Joe and Kelly would've been first cousins.  Of course, it would've truly inspired Sophia was if Rosa Andrade sister, with Rosa and Santana moving in to help CC raise the kids once Sophia disappeared.  While this could've avoided both gross CC and Santana affairs, the times were not right for a story about intersectional inequity.
    • https://www.instagram.com/p/DJxW5DLJLId/ Another World is my forever favorite soap opera. But it's finale is almost universally hated by its fans. What this is, is an edit where I've deleted everything I didn't like!!!
    • The Perkins family had potential to be a nice alternative to the more dysfunctional Capwells and wackier Lockridges... but I think a few factors did in the family. 1) Recasting of Joe Perkins 2) Bad casting of the Perkins Patriarch, and the one note writing for that character. 3) Lack of antagonistic interaction between the Capwells/Lockridges and Perkins.  (There was no awkwardness between Jade/Ted.. or CC disapproving of his son being friends with that Perkins girl, etc). 4) Wasting of Jade thus wasting the potential of the actress (which was realized on Days of Our Lives).  She had more potential than Laken oddly enough. The only member of the Perkins family that had appeal and a somewhat thought out story arc was Amy.  
    • @GymnastGuyThanks for posting the three new Capitol 1985 episodes today. The two labeled March 12, and 13 are misidentified. The March 12 labeled one actually aired November 12 1985 which I figured out because Kenny Rogers' movie Wild Horses aired November 12th and it was announced over the "March 12" Cap credits. In addition, Craig Carlson is listed in the April credits but not the March. Craig left Capitol sometime after July 1985 before he rejoined OLTL in the credits by October 15, 1985; he was replaced on Cap by Radcliffe and Hamner. In these posted episodes Radcliffe/Hamner names appear in the March 85 episodes but not in the April.
