Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 I always named my pets after soap characters when I was younger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Chamberlain Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Oh, I forgot my dad's cat. I named him Sonny Cone-rinthos. Because, his mother's name is Conana (She's my cat) LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 My cats were Sean and Tiffany . I can't believe I forgot to mention earlier about how I would reenact Shane & Kim and Patch & Kayla with my dolls when I was like 7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Before I actually started really watching DAYS the first I really knew of the show (other than knowing who Deidre Hall was from primetime and knowing of the show glimpses in magazines and award shows and the possession storyline getting a lot of talk) was porn-type fan fiction which involved Lucas Roberts as a huge manslut. The odd part is that when I actually did start watching the show I thought that would have been totally believable for the Lucas of that era (Reilly mark I).

Members will81 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 I skipped so much school in grade 6 to watch Days and Y&R that the teachers were considering having me repeat the year, luckily I pulled myself together. It is embarrassing also for the fact that I never thought to video tape them until I got to High School even though we had a VCR at the time. I still remember my mum angrily covering my ass by writing notes for every day I had skipped that year, she was especially angry when she found out why, and my teachers counseling me because they thought I had emotional troubles at home.

Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 At least you didn't pass any of the stories off as your own personal troubles to get sympathy. (I knew some people who did that...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members will81 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Do you remember any of the stories they used? That would be interesting, depending on the show and era of that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Not too much, no. They'd change it around. I think some of it was some of the AMC or GL young adults, since their stories weren't as centered on parents who were spies and kidnapped by international criminals.

Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 You should publish that stuff and just change the names. If Twilight fanfic can become a powerhouse then yours should do even better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 This thread is an eye-opener! I did the usual -- got my mom to "tape" Days and Santa Barbara with an audio casette because we didn't have a VCR back in the day. Oh, and I also transcribed an entire Sunset Beach episode from videotape because I wanted to learn how they constructed scenes using the A, B, and C stories, and how long each segment was (answer: not very long). In 8th grade, an alum came to talk to us about her career -- she was costume designer for plays and soaps in NYC, namely ATWT and GL. I asked by FAR the most questions about her ATWT/GL work, not that I watched those shows at the time, but I was so excited about the soap connection. The bitchy girls in my class rolled their eyes to the point where my English teacher who was chairing the event told them off. I guess she was pleased to see me excited and invested in something, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Did she say anything interesting about ATWT and GL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 It was 1988 so I'm sure it would have been v interesting for you as a fan! Sadly, I can't remember specifics but she did talk about the logistics of dressing a wedding and its guests and interlopers. She also said that Jon Hensley was hot.

Members DRW50 Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Thanks. I can't say I remember ATWT or GL for outstanding wardrobe, especially in those years, where most of the women dressed like they were 80 years old, but I'm glad you got to talk to her, sounds like a wonderful opportunity.

Members Cat Posted January 7, 2013 Members Share Posted January 7, 2013 Yeah, P&G soaps weren't always known for their wardrobe. I think Daytime soaps as a whole were never that fashion forward, though Susan Lucci got dressed like the star she was and is. I also thought Santa Barbara had a glamourous (though now dated) wardrobe. And later, on Sunset Beach, Aaron Spelling got Nolan Miller (his designer for Dynasty) to dress a lot of the women like Lesley Ann Down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
