Members Paul Raven Posted November 3, 2022 Members Share Posted November 3, 2022 Amusing in the sense that Alice Matthews had earlier married Ray Gordon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted November 10, 2022 Members Share Posted November 10, 2022 On Y&R the character of Jonas was originally Rick but Jerry Lacy objected as he felt it drew comparisons to Rick in Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart - who Jerry portrayed in Play It Again Sam. Jerry didn't want to again be associated with Bogart. I saw a 1979 newspaper article announcing the arrival of Linda Miller as Mimi to All My Children. Linda is Taylor Miller's real name so the decision was made to go by Taylor. As for Mimi, was it a misprint or the characters original name? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dr Neil Curtis Posted January 24, 2023 Members Share Posted January 24, 2023 I think Bonnie Lockhart explained in Judi’s first run that Maureen was her middle name and that’s what her husband insisted on calling her. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 24, 2023 Members Share Posted January 24, 2023 I don't know where else to post this but daytime is so bizarre. There are 4 soaps left and despite 70+ years of their existence they've only had a handful of Asian characters YET right now there are two Asian characters on different shows named Li. What in the world are the chances? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 24, 2023 Members Share Posted January 24, 2023 The first name of Li may be a soap oddity but, Li is one of the most common surnames in Asia, shared by 92.76 million people in China, and more than 100 million in Asia. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Paul Raven Posted May 5, 2023 Members Share Posted May 5, 2023 In the original As The world Turns proposal Grandpa Hughes was Fred, not Thomas. Edith Hughes was Mary and Donald Hughes was Kit short for Chris Jnr 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members LoyaltoAMC Posted May 5, 2023 Members Share Posted May 5, 2023 Some from AMC: Dimitri Marick was originally supposed to be named Brice Cannon. Ceara Connor was originally Allison Connor, but the name was changed after Agnes Nixon's real-life niece, Ceara. Hayley was also originally Allison. Then they changed it to Hayley Welles, and finally to Hayley Vaughan. Brian Fitzpatrick, who played Mitch Beck, was hired to play a character named Trip Marshall, but they changed the name after they decided to make him Donna's brother. Cindy was credited as Cindy Anderson in the credits for a few weeks before they decided to change her surname to Parker for some reason. A few years before Opal showed up, she was referred to as Bertha. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted May 5, 2023 Members Share Posted May 5, 2023 Thank god! Dimitri Marick is such a unique yet believable name. Brice Cannon sounds like a parody soap name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 5, 2023 Members Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) One of the more infamous for me: OLTL brought on Colin and Troy MacIver's sister Emily who had originally been referred to offscreen as "Carol". When Emily came on, instead of ignoring it Gary Tomlin for some insane reason saw fit to openly retcon this by having Emily tell her new beau (Teddy Sears) this absolutely tortured backstory about how children used to mock her and call her 'Christmas Carol.' Okay? Edited May 5, 2023 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 5, 2023 Members Share Posted May 5, 2023 Perhaps Brice Cannon was just the name used when casting the role? As was often the case a show would use a mythical name either because the final name hadn't been decided or they didn't want to reveal it at that point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
