I think it was 2002 when they first said on air that GL's Springfield was in Illinois (during Rick & Mel's wedding?), and later during the Weston era of 2003-2004, they not only confirmed Illinois multiple times but at one point, Ross even mentioned how they live in the state's capital city. To me, that made no sense and was a definite rewrite of the current powers-that-be. It would've made more sense to establish Springfield in Michigan, with 3/4ths of it surrounded by Great Lakes. Speaking of, I think at one point prior to 2002 they mentioned Springfield being on the coast of a Great Lake.

Does anyone else remember some risque photos of Teddy Sears (and possibly a couple of others from his time on OLTL) that made some noise back in the day?  I think they were maybe even taken by one of their OLTL costars.

 

I googled and didn’t see anything, but I’m almost positive this happened.

It was Nathan Purdee (Hank Gannon), who was a photographer. He did a risque shoot with Sears, Shanelle Workman (Flash/Sarah Roberts), Amber Ryan (Emily MacIver) and others. It was a minor scandal at the time. I don't think it was what led to Purdee's departure, but puritanical soap fans did react.

OK...

 

Pam Long herself mentioned that in her 2009 podcast interview on Brandon's Buzz. She said that the guy who threw up was either someone from P&G or CBS. Pam and KZ got into a shouting match over the direction Reva was going in. It was nothing personal, it was just about the story. Apparently, their arguing made the poor guy so nervous that he tossed his cookies right then and there. No word if anyone lost their appetites after that, as they were at a business lunch.

 

That is hilarious. If you can ever find the article, or at least the exact quote, please post it here.

After the gay kiss scenes featuring "Kish" were broadcast on OLTL, one hyperventilating critic on a message board raged that she did not want to see "hard-core homosexual pornography" on her "clean" show.

 

Hard-core gay pornography?????

 

I was soooooo tempted to send her links to some REAL porn, for comparison, but I refrained.
