Soap mentions on other shows

[dm.]

I believe at one point Amanda Woodward of Melrose Place was watching Sunset Beach in her hospital room.

On Sanford and Son, they mentioned Days a few times and he even commented on how much he wanted to watch the Bill/Laura/Mickey story.

AMC was mentioned on the Wayans Bros.

[beebs]

AW got a mention of Golden Girls. I think during the first season. The ep where the girls were all sick and Blanche demanded they keep on "the continuing story of Another World"

[AdelaideCate007]

on 30 Rock, Jenna said that Jack reminded her of Scott from General Hospital

Lorelai and Rory talked about General Hospital in an episode of the Gilmore Girls once

[Dr Neil Curtis]

have any soaps been mentioned on other soaps?

[BKuzak]

Actually yes, OLTL did it twice in one episode. I think it was a special forth of July episode where Rae Cumming had a dream where everyone dressed up as everyone else. Todd was Viki, Bo was RJ, Ben was a nun, etc.... but during the episode, Bo said something like "Where do you think this is Rae, Pine Valley?" then when Rae woke up, she told Viki she dreamed she was in a weird place and Viki said, "Port Charles?"

Oh on Designing Women, Julia snuck off to sing at some club and Charlene thought Julie had a split personality. As she was trying to tell the others, she said something like "Don't you ever watch One Life to Live."

on an episode of Dynasty, Fallon watched General Hospital. She never said it but in one episode, it showed Jeff comming into the library and Fallen watching it. It was early 80's and showed a clip of Heather Webber talking to someone else.

Roseanne loved both General Hospital and OLTL. She openly said that's why she called her town "Llaford" after Llanview. She not only mentioned the shows, but the character had a dream that she was in Llanview and the actors who played Bo, (original) Clint and Cord all were in the dream. Then in one episoe she watched GH and at the end of the episode, Luke and Laura showed up at her diner.

Thats not quite whats meant here. The ABC soaps all operate within the same universe. Rae wasnt referencing the soap operas AMC and GH. She was referring to the towns she herself has visited.

Anyone remember that Blair Brown show "The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd." In one episode, Molly is serving on jury duty, and another member of the panel hopes she's not called back for a second day. She comments that "I'm not missing All My Children again for this tomorrow." Also, on All in the Family, Edith mentions The Secret Storm. On Will & Grace, Karen gets mad on the phone with Rosario because she forgot to TIVO One Life to Live. On Golden Girls, Sophia mentions Y&R in one of the later seasons.

[yr9190]

I remember one episode of Boy Meets World (The one were the whole episode is a horror movie/Scream spoof where everyone is killed) Feeny made a Y&R joke after getting annoyed with all the kids discussing their personal lives rather than his lesson, I think he said sarcastically, "We will return to the Young and the Restless after a short break"

Days has been mentioned on Passions many times over the years, even as far as showing them watch promos for it on their tvs, The show itself has been mentioned on the show as well LOL.

[Marco Dane]

Blanche "Rue McClanahan" mentioned Another World on The Golden Girls didn't she play a character on the show ?

Skip to 2:33

Dorothy probably wanted to watch "One Life To Live" LOL

[Paul Raven]

Yes,Rue played Caroline Johnson on AW.

30 Rock had a made up scene with Bo & Hope that Jack and Liz were watching.

On Will & Grace,Rosario stated Jack was on Guiding Light.

Diagnosis Murder did a Y&R episode that played off Victoria Rowell being on both shows.

Also,back in the early 80's,there was a OLTL episode when a character (I think a ditsy secretary at the hospital) was watching other ABC soaps.

[All My Shadows]

There was an episode of American Dreams where Frances Reid (and I think John Clarke too) guest starred as an old lady watching "that new soap opera Days of our Lives" in 1965.

[beebs]

THAT'S the episode I was talking about. Good on you finding it! haha.

At 4:13, Marge is watching B&B. I guess Bill Bell forgot about that scene when he began the crossovers in 1992.

[DRW50]

On DAYS in 1985 when Anna thought she was going to prison, she talked about how she was scared she'd look like imprisoned Jenna Wade on DALLAS who didn't even get to wear makeup or do her hair.
