Members DRW50 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 On ATWT, Mike Kasnoff's race car driving was used off and on for 2-3 years. He had a car, Ludybelle or something, and characters went to his races, and eventually he met Pilar, a fellow race car driver. In 2009, when Jack Snyder went to see Mike, he ran a race for him as Mike was too ill to compete. Dynasty had a boring as hell storyline about Steven Carrington owning a football team and the quarterback being hooked on coke and sleeping with Sammy Jo. It would have been more interesting if Steven was getting gangbanged in the locker room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 the last one I recall was Jagger's boxing in the early 90s. Why the heck are there so many boxing ones? Fallon pretty much banged her way through the entire football team in the first season...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Pine Charles Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Yeah, I remember seeing that clip of Erica (early '80s) in a gold sequined number getting carried off by a football team. I thought it was the New Orleans Saints, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Maybe it was the Saints! I just rememeber the picture/clip, not the s/l. I'll look it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Boxing-related stories that weren't actually about boxing: Tom Desmond on RH used to have a lot of scenes in mid/late 1978 during the "Terry the Tumor" phase where he would go and box and beat up unsuspecting men who just thought it was going to be fun sparring. He wore glow in the dark short shorts. Damian on ATWT had this type of story in 1995 (minus the shorts) In GL's radio days, Meta's ex husband insisted their son become more of a man, and kept making him box. At one point the poor boy was so badly hit that he died. Meta shot her ex to death and was acquitted, by a public jury, under temporary insanity. I remember Erica with the Cowboys.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 that's the last one i remember too, cheap. I don't get soaps fascination with boxing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 GOD yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes. On Dynasty, Blake owned (or partially owned) a football team and Fallon had some really great snarky lines about that at Blake and Krystle's first wedding. I can't even remember exactly what she said, something about one of the players being a "mattress-back." I wonder what would have happened if Dynasty went in that direction, instead of focusing on the oil company. But yes. This needs to happen (*knows it never will*). Of course I want the owner's son to fool around with the tight end. And his young wife can be shocked to discover that one of the young rookies is the child she sold on the black market when she was 15. I thought Reggie was a basketball player, though? They could kind of transpose the story from football to basketball and make it work. Yeah, Doc Reese was a former football player. In fact, he worked at WOAK as the sports anchor on the news. I remember the GL story with Shayne playing baseball. That was like the beginning of GL's descent into small town/middle class craziness. Not that I mind the idea of that kind of soap, but GL?? Nah.

Members Cheap21 Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 he was a basketball player but I think I'd prefer football. Really it doesnt matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 WOW! I actually met that guy at an acting workshop in L.A. like ten years ago where he shared that he'd played ball. He had some of the ladies in the class swooning. A while later, I saw him pop up on GH as a (rather stiff) reporter. Next thing you know he was on contract over at ATWT in NY.

Members quartermainefan Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 Boxing is the perfect sport for drama. It's an individual sport, it is seedy with a hint of desperation, there is nothing abstract about it and it is visually dramatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted March 27, 2011 Members Share Posted March 27, 2011 And it's probably easier and much, much, much cheaper for a soap to work with. All they have to build is one-half of a ring and there ya go. Sure beats trying to construct a football field or baseball diamond or basketball court, though they could just go on location.
