Members detroitpiston Posted October 19, 2019 Members Share Posted October 19, 2019 There used to be a YouTube clip called Charity Rahmer and Drake Hogestyn School of Acting that used to have me dying laughing. Please register in order to view this content She really was one of the worst recasts ever. Its too bad Corday let his bitterness at Kristen Storms leaving stop them from bringing her back when the Aaron Spelling baseball show got canceled and she offered to return.

Members Franko Posted October 19, 2019 Members Share Posted October 19, 2019 You know whose hypothetical book I wouldn't mind reading? John Wesley Shipp. Appeals to both daytime and cult TV fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members j swift Posted October 20, 2019 Members Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) I would love a Mad Men like memoir of the P&G execs who oversaw the soaps. We've read Lemay's account of their incompetence, but I would hazard to guess that the P&G exces have another perspective. They could provide a unique history from the commercial buyers of how and why the shows worked to sell their product, and at what point in history it no longer worked. I recall there was an academic tome about P&G and the soaps, but I bet there is someone still around who has the scoop, and could tell the story from a production standpoint.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted October 20, 2019 Members Share Posted October 20, 2019 Soap Opera by Alecia Swasy Rising Tide by 3 academics more by other academics Scardaville Dissertation MELISSA SCARDAVILLE'S DISSERTATION I found something that shows Melissa's dissertation: Bragging Rights Please indulge me briefly as I do some justified bragging about my partner Dr. Melissa C. Scardaville, PhD, Sociology, Emory University, who recently successfully defended her dissertation "A Voice in the Room: The Evolution of Economic and Aesthetic Legitimacies for Daytime Soap Operas in the United States, 1930-2009." This study explores how the daytime drama industry evolved from local 10 minute radio programs to the most popular and profitable mass media form in the world. Specifically, it examines how soap operas attained economic legitimacy (widely seen as viable business models) but not aesthetic legitimacy (not generally considered works of art). Other related published studies were "Accidental Activists: Fan Activism in the Soap Opera Community" (about ANOTHER WORLD fans), “You Just Don’t Understand: Institutional Logics of Producers and Consumers in the Soap Opera Industry”, “High Art, No Art: The Economic and Aesthetic Legitimacy of U.S. Soap Operas.” Before we moved home south to Atlanta from Brooklyn, NY, Melissa was an Editor at Soap Opera Digest. She covered Guiding Light from 1999-2005. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
