Speaking of LOL, has any other soap ever used the name "Bambi"?

There was a Lenore on ATWT in the 80s.

 

 

There was an Bianca Marquez on ATWT in the 80s.  She was an orphaned refugee who came to Oakdale from a fictitious Latin American country for asylum.  How ahead of its time that concept was!

 

I know Scott was probably mentioned in this thread at least once because on every soap created in the last 60 years, there was probably at least one character named Scott.

 

What about Isaac?  I remember one on ATWT. Others? Come to think of it there was also a Curtis, not to mention a Thurgood Marshall.  All African American characters.

 

Also, any Priscillas?

Yes you're right - Andrew and Andy, father and son. Father hung around longer.

 

Re Scott

Offhand can't recall a Scott on GL or OLTL, at least as a major character. 

 

On Y&R Jonas gave amnesiac Leslie the name Priscilla, always referred to as Pris. I wonder if it was explained at the time why he chose that name.

BTW Was Jonas ever given a surname?
