Members BetterForgotten Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) It's alarming when you think that soaps (on television but also on radio before) were marketed to appeal to white middle-class women first and foremost, and not much has changed there since inception. But also, when you look at the writing for women in general on soaps, it's deplorable on what's supposed to be a female-first genre. That's not even getting into racial aspects that leave so much to be desired. Edited June 15, 2020 by BetterForgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 Eli and Lani are the first black wedding on Days? Did Abe and Lexie not get married onscreen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfan770 Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 Nope! Abe & one of the pre-Renee Jones Lexie's got married off-screen while the two were temporarily living out of town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 That is...crazy. I mean, I knew Days was super white but Abe has been on the show for 40 years. Isn't he married to someone else now? They ALSO didn't get a wedding??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BetterForgotten Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 Someone once mentioned that the first time a black couple was given a wedding with a budget that was comparable to white couples was Hamp and Gilly's 1992 wedding on GL. Can anyone verify that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members vetsoapfan Posted June 15, 2020 Members Share Posted June 15, 2020 (edited) That's not completely true. Ed Hall and Carla Gray had a lovely on-screen wedding back in 1972 on OLTL and the show coughed up money for a fairly large wedding party and special guests.
