October 10, 201114 yr Member Not sure if there's a thread like this or not, but anyone think of soap scenes(from any soap) that were shown in movies? I'm watching Mr. Mom and they showed quite a few scenes of Y&R with Nikki & Victor Also Legally Blonde had a GH scene with JY Lucky and Liz any more........??
October 10, 201114 yr Member "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" has a 1976 Doug & Julie scene in it.
October 10, 201114 yr Member I beleive theres a thread similar but in reference to tv shows. Not sure if it included movies
October 11, 201114 yr Member Didn't Gwen Verdon's character in Marvin's Room watch All My Children, or am I totally making that up? I haven't seen it since it came out...
October 11, 201114 yr Member Taxi Driver had a scene from Y&R (Brock and Jill?) I have vague memories of 9 to 5 when Dabney Coleman's character was kidnapped.I think it was the Jane Fonda character that brought him some soap magazines so he could keep up,but I don't recall if they actually show any soap on screen.

October 13, 201114 yr Member I love seeing soap scenes pop up on the big screen, and always point it out to whomever is watching with me ... "9 to 5" showed Dabney Coleman watching the opening to Days of Our Lives during the lil music montage of them changing up the offices. "Girl Interrupted" shows the girls watching a DAYS scene from the 1970's with Frances Reid on the screen. The recent movie "The Help" shows Sissy Spacek's nutty character watching the opening credit of "The Guiding Light" from the 1950's In "What Lies Beneath" with Michelle Pfieffer, her character visits the home of the missing woman, whose mother is watching a scene from "The Bold & the Beautiful" with Thorne and Macy on screen. I haven't seen "Driving Miss Daisy" in a long time, but I remember people reporting that you see the servants watching "The Edge of Night" in the kitchen. I think there was a long list of movie scenes featuring soaps, maybe on this site or on World of Soap Themes.
October 13, 201114 yr Member Pretty sure that "What Lies Beneath" had a scene from Sunset Beach with Ben & Meg in it, not B&B.
October 14, 201114 yr Member Speaking of The Help...did anyone notice 3-4 actors in the movie had gotten their start on GL? Probably why they showed the old B&W episode. P&G is keeping in one form or another their soaps out their in the public eys.
