Hi all

 

I noticed the Soap Digest tumblr is no longer being updated, so I thought I would continue with the issues I have. Unfortunately rats got two boxes worth, so I am missing 1993, but everything else up to 1996 should be around.

 

If anyone has already done this let me know. Happy to contribute with issues not yet shared

 

First up is June 11, 1991

Thanks for this. I enjoyed reading this issue.

 

I see there's a really interesting article on Soras (before we all called it that, that is).

 

With the benefit of hindsight I also had a chuckle at the letter from K.W from Columbus Ohio...In the end Drucilla's estrangement from her parents was a recurring storyline that went on until 93/94.

I always loved the sound off area of the magazine. I remember writing and sending a letter to SOW and seeing it had been published..lol.

That photo of Bridget Dobson as a child tells you all you need to know about her, her husband, their writing and their devilish sense of humor.

@j swift, you might want to see this ... Why, we even get a Cousin Joey Update!

 

will, this is truly impressive. I look forward to seeing this thread as it grows.

 

Stray thoughts:

-- Michael Damian, you dirty dog! Wanting to be trapped in an elevator with Madonna, Julia Roberts and Kim Basinger.

-- I'm wondering when CBS officially picked up Palace Guard and if SOD figured it wasn't worth it to halt the presses and update the Marcy Walker story.

-- Hmm ... I don't recall a Brice Cannon on AMC. Might he have been reworked into Dimitri?

-- Was DOOL really considering recasting Marlena, or was it just to stir up excitement? And who on earth (besides Andrea) could have played her?

-- Different Times: "Bo contracts the virus"

Yeah it is a bit of work, but I need to get it done anyway, as I don't trust after the rat attack (in a previous house) that my issues are safe anymore, haha. I lost heaps of issues from the 70's and 80's and all of 1993 except Sep - Dec and one issue from Jan. So it will basically leap from the first issues in 1993 to the fall preview. Thankfully the 70's and 80's issues are up on the tumblr site.

 

Glad everyone is liking this. I will try to upload fairly regularly, but will depend on my schedule. Will get it done though. 

 

I also found Bryna Laub's daytime Serial Newsletter from Sep - Dec 1973 (I thought I had shared this before but not sure). I also have Jan and Feb 74, but it is only one page with Y&R and half of ATWT on one and half of Search on another. So I will get those up as well, and some Daily TV Serial magazines from 1976 are coming as well as one issue of Soap Bubble magazine from 1976.

@will81 Thank you so much, this really brightened up a rather ugly week.

 

And @Franko thank you for calling this to my attention.  I've been waiting so long to see what happened to the ill-fated Cousin Joey (it looks like the SORASed A.J. negated any story potential for poor Joey).  1991 continues to be the interesting year behind the scenes ever.  And Bridget Dobson's tale about being called a party girl by her mother, even after graduating from Stanford, (where we learned earlier she met Jerry) and Harvard was heartbreaking. 

 

Thirty years later, I still think the "Ask Us" section is filled with fake news.  Who suggests that their friend should be kidnapped because they have questions about Bob Woods on Days?  And even before the internet were people really willing to wait for their question to be published in order to find out if Lisa Peluso and Lisa Loring were the same person?  Also, wasn't Paul Martin the brother of Joe Martin, not his son? 

 

FYI - Bronwen Booth went on to become a blonde production executive http://kbp2013.kingsboroughpictures.com/our-team/bronwen-booth-executive-in-charge-of-creative-affairs-development/ 

 

And Rob Mailhouse was in the band Dogstar with Keanu Reeves https://www.vice.com/da/article/rbxq95/i-was-in-a-band-with-keanu-reeves

      Another World Discussion Thread

      By Tisy-Lish · Posted

      My comment has nothing to do with cast resentment, but does relate to the Finland location shoot: It may be a coincidence, but Jim Matthews died in Finland in 1982.  Hugh Marlowe's final episode was in April 1982, but the character probably didn't die untll May or June. (I'm unable to find the character's date of death, only the date of Marlowe's final episode). SInce Jim and Rachel had very little interaction after around 1975, it is unlikely Jim's death in Finland had any connection to Rachel's potential visit, but the choice to have Jim die in that location at that time is a head-scratcher.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Aback · Posted

      I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him.

      I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.

      Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much.

        Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year.

      Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go.

      The Madonna Thread

      By Maxim · Posted

      Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
