Members SFK Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 All of my friends know that I'm a Susan Lucci freak and tease me about it going waaayyy back. I have done more than a few school projects on soaps including two video projects on Susan. One was a mess as we were not prepared to present that day and me and my partner got an "E".

Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 For many years I did not realize that Nathan Purdee had left the role of Nathan on Y&R and had been replaced by Randy Brooks. I just thought he had played the role, left, and was replaced by that awful actor with the skunk hair. I was not paying enough attention to all of Y&R at that time to notice, just certain stories, when I had time. I didn't realize until reading up on the show quite some time later. I felt like a dumbass, even more than usual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members teplin Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I had to record a five-minute audio on any topic for an audio production class in college -- this was way back in the early 80s. I did it on soaps, and scored it to "General Hospi-Tale" by the Afternoon Delights. I often find myself whistling or humming old soap themes and scores, sometimes in the presence of other people.

Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 Sometimes I used to tell my friends about a cool story I'd seen on a soap, but then would never actually tell them it came from a soap, because I knew they'd give me [!@#$%^&*].

Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 ^Me too on the last one. I hum the old FOTH theme from GH all the time. I think men that are on soaps are at least 5x better looking than men who are in Hollywood (movie stars, primetime stars, musicians, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Susan Hunter Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 During the summer when I was 12, I taped the entire Bo, Hope, Larry and Megan storyline on my portable cassette player by holding the cassette player up to the speaker on the TV. Then I would listen to the audio over and over until I could repeat the dialogue from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 6, 2013 Members Share Posted January 6, 2013 I used to love Eugene and Calliope on DAYS and was just crushed when they left. I loved Luna on OLTL and cried when she died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Webmaster Errol Posted January 6, 2013 Webmaster Share Posted January 6, 2013 I got angry with my brother who broke my tape of the Daytime Emmy Awards the year Rent sang "525,600 minutes" the same night I recorded it. I've never forgiven him. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 When I write my soap fanfic, I literally act out the scenes to make sure the dialogue is right and sounds like something the characters would say. Imagine me playing Erica Kane, Skye Chandler and Hayley Vaughan...All in the same scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
