Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 (edited) Please register in order to view this content Yes. The sequence where Shane the king is bored, Kimberly the queen is bored, etc. & many jesters had tried to entertain them & then Kimberly says that they can't be happy until Princess Eve is returned home. So, they're not bored, it's that they're worried, etc. & dressed as a jester Calliope does some bits, pretty corny, and then says she will save the Princess. Supposedly that is the scene that inspired the creator. Key element: female jester. Then, he heard her voice as the voice so that got the next gig underway. Is it at all compelling that this other voice actor announced her death? Edited August 27, 2023 by Donna L. Bridges 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 Arleen's Calliope was larger than life. For an awkward teen navigating all the crap we go through, seeing a character living an eccentric life right along with all the "normal" characters was great. From her hijinks with Eugene, capers with Anna (she and Leann Hunley gave such great "bestie" energy), to the Beat Bar with "Norm De Plume" A. K. A. Dr. Tom Horton, she fit in with anyone. That's what I did when I found my friend/family that I'm still hanging with 30 years later. Calliope was just a small piece of inspiration I've gleaned over the years, and I will always love Sorkin for the gift her portrayal gave to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 It’s interesting to me how many comic book/superhero sites credit her as the inspiration for Harley Quinn but include her work on DAYS as merely a “she also” line, showing that they actually have no clue how/why she inspired the character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 You've summed Calliope up so well! Thank you. I had forgotten that she was in on the Norm de Plume stuff. I was surprised when I read that a writer created her with Cyndi Lauper in mind because she was so very much more than just that "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" eccentricity! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 That is sad. Soaps have kind of always been undervalued and underrated but at this moment, it seems like they are dismissing any value the entire daytime portion of the genre has. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 Same as it ever was. I do think social media helps with this a little bit, getting more knowledge out, but I thought of this comment thread when I saw her Deadline obit that went into great detail about her other work then reduced her time on DAYS to one sentence. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DramatistDreamer Posted August 27, 2023 Members Share Posted August 27, 2023 This would be an interesting topic for a different thread. Most people don’t even realize these daytime soaps are still on the air. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
