Offbeat Soap Facts/News bits/Anecdotes you still remember

I thought it was the other way around.  Actually, I think it was on another board where I read that SSH cold-cocked KS in the ladies' restroom (which had me on the floor laughing for some reason).

 

Because Susan and Robin had similar hair and skin tones, and they both portrayed characters created by Agnes Nixon, people assumed they were sisters.  Unbelievable.

I can see SSH doing that (lol) but the newspapers and magazines at the time reported that it was Kaye who physically attacked Susan.  I have a clipping I'll try to find.

Susan Seaforth Hayes also had a beef with Brenda Benet. She said she had been friends with Brenda when they were young and she had betrayed her. Years later when Brenda came on Days and was paired with Bill. All heck broke loose.

She was looking for a riper banana. Yet, when another guy looks for a riper banana she objects.

Damn....I guess they were the original set Brawlers before Braeden and Bergman...

 

ive heard a few things about SSH not getting along with people...

[Soapsuds]

Flove Colleen.....let's see it was ......Colleen Zenk Crouch and then Colleen Zenk and then Colleen Zenk Pinter and back to Colleen Zenk.

Also she and HBS didn't get along.

[Paul Raven]

Susan admits she was 'feisty' back in the day. 

Very protective of her place on the show and of Bill (who was easy going)

I know SSH has talked about her jealousy Benet fleetingly before but given Benet's sexuality and her own son's death it really paints SSH's treatment of Benet in bad light.

I can’t blame Missy.  I would have taken a turn with Jason Brooks or Mark Valley over her sanctimonious husband.  And I used to find him incredibly hot too.  But not as hot as her costars.

[Soapsuds]

Yum at Mark Valley. The guy ooozed take a turn.

 

I never found Scott Reeves attractive. I'd take Jason Brooks over him any day.

[soapfan770]

Are Scott and Melissa still married? I never understood how Scott kept on acting on Y&R past his date of expiration yet ensured his wife, one of Days' biggest stars at the time was placed into a panic room for years to come except for doing at TV movie about sextuplets. Later on in 2006 she abruptly decided to join Scott in Nashville. 

[Soapsuds]

Yes

In a videotaped interview, Frances Reid admitted that SSH did not even like HER.

 

That shocked me.

 

 

[YRfan23]

It always seemed like SSH considered herself a real life diva.....not the friendly type obviously.....I guess Tracey Bregman got along with her well
