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?

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.

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.

    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock
