Members Paul Raven Posted October 11, 2020 Author Members Share Posted October 11, 2020 Before its radio premiere The Guiding Light was titled The Good Samaritan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted October 13, 2020 Members Share Posted October 13, 2020 Supposedly, the reason why TSS changed its title from "The Storm Within" was because an antacid company signed on as a sponsor. That story still makes me laugh (I read it in Gerry Waggett's Soap Encyclopedia). As for "House of Hope", I thought that was the title of the proposed TD spinoff that NBC was supposed to launch in 1970. (Instead, NBC chose another spinoff - AW's "Somerset".) I might be confusing it with something else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted July 7, 2021 Members Share Posted July 7, 2021 I don't know about that, but that was used as a title of a soap-within-a-soap on RH in 1980-81. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted August 11, 2021 Members Share Posted August 11, 2021 I actually think "Garden of Evil" is a better title!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted August 11, 2021 Members Share Posted August 11, 2021 Well, Maljardin literally means garden of evil / evil garden, but I do prefer Strange Paradise as a title tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Fevuh Posted January 3, 2022 Members Share Posted January 3, 2022 Wasn’t or isn’t B&B called just Beautiful in another/some countries or was meant to be a possibility for the original name? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cruising Soaps Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 I believe in Italy it is called Beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 4, 2022 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 I recall that B&B was Top Models' in France and didn't they name it 'Caroline' in Greece or was that just a nickname due to the popularity of that character? Otherwise it would have to be renamed 'Caroline's Friends and Family' or some such when the character died. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 The show was never called "Caroline" here in Greece. It was known as "Boldness and Charm". Crazy popular for years and years. We even hard Caroline and Ridge chips as a snack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 4, 2022 Author Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 Thanks for clearing that up. I recall reading that somewhere. Obviously it was not Greece, Did Ronn or Joanna (or anyone else)ever visit Greece on the strength of their popularity? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sapounopera Posted January 4, 2022 Members Share Posted January 4, 2022 RM, Joanna Johnson, KKL and Clayton Norcross all visited and were treated as mega-stars. Dan McVicar and KKL presented a Miss Europe beauty contest. DMV also guest-starred in a greek soap in the early 90s. (BTW I think that Loving was called "Trisha" in South Africa.) Τhese are photos of RM visiting Athens in 1989. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
