Members Forever8 Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 I didn't even consider MJF presently on a soap. I was thinking more after Doc Hollywood but before Spin City. I think he would've been good on a P&G soap either As The World Turns or Guiding Light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 Yeah, he’d have thrived on a soap like ATWT (up until a certain point anyway). They liked the sensitive DeFreitas/Kavovit types who weren’t conventional hunks. His height would become an issue, I’m sure. Billy Warlock certainly worked a lot, but you can see how marginalized and emasculated he became. (Of course, MJF would never have done a soap with his stature and name brand, but just imagining an alternate universe.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 If Michael J. Fox "belonged" on any soap, it would've been AMC, during the Greg/Jenny/Jesse/Angie/Liza/Tad heyday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members antmunoz Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 Alyssa did MELROSE PLACE. Justine did DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES. Not daytime but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted April 5, 2019 Members Share Posted April 5, 2019 That’s interesting. I wonder if he’d have been a second banana due to his small stature or if his charisma would have shone through and overshadowed Larry Lau or MEK. Alternate histories are fascinating.

Members QueenSteffy Posted April 14, 2019 Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 What about Tia mowry's sister Tamera mowry? I think she should be on a soap too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 14, 2019 Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 Okay, but I first I have to figure out which one's Tamera. I've been at that since "Sister, Sister" and I'm still at a loss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted April 14, 2019 Members Share Posted April 14, 2019 I always think of soap parts for the lost glamour actresses of the 70s. The kind of women who were always on Fantasy Island, but not quite on Charlie's Angels.

Members applcin Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 Her brother, Jimmy, was on GH. Some of my picks (and I'm not sure if any of them did actually appear on daytime): John Astin (I could see him as a quirky character on DOOL circa mid 1980s) Lee Majors could have been a Buchanan relative on OLTL (thinking of his Big Valley experience) Bill Bixby had he lived...a doctor character anywhere. Barbara Bain could have a played a cool, dispassionate shrink, maybe a Gail Baldwin/GH type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bright Eyes Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 I've always wanted Cathy Moriarty on a soap. Her and Catherine Zeta-Jones, with those appealing seductive voices, would be a sure fire win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 What could have been ... I'm now picturing Michael's ample charisma being put to excellent use as Tad Martin. I see any or all of these women as a Cassadine mistress who reforms, sort of like Tiffany Hill if she hadn't become one of the gang. Cathy would have been excellent as a member of the Spectra family. (Or perhaps a secretive nurse ...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted April 15, 2019 Author Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 Cathy Lee Crosby Connie Sellecca (even though she was on the primetime Hotel) Latoya Jackson (see her playing a campy/quirky character). Melinda Culea (from A-Team) Pamela Hensley (from Matt Houston) Shelley Smith ( actress and known for her many game show appearances) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 Oh, definitely Shelley Smith should have been on Y&R at some point during the late '70's or early '80's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AmandainNC28655 Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 Yes I agree with this I also feel that Nancy McKeon or Kristy McNichol would have been perfect members of the Cooper family on GL. Perhaps cousins, or even one of them being a Harley recast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted April 15, 2019 Members Share Posted April 15, 2019 Tamera has the mole. Tia is prettier (which I'm sure you can't see since you can't tell them apart but trust me on this). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
