Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Thanks! No wonder I didn't remember who Lowe was! And I must say leave it to Oakdale to add the truly complicated twists. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Dion Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 At one point Brooke was getting married every year (2001 - 2006 IIRC or the Forrester Jones Forrester Forrester Forrester Marone bit lol) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) OMG! I honestly had no idea. So Brooke is the Queen Bee of Marrying but not got the hang of staying married? Moving to Erica, Bing Chat says her 10 marriages were in this order: Jeff Martin Phillip Brent Nick Davis Tom Cudahy Adam Chandler Travis Montgomery Jackson Montgomery Dimitri Marick Chris Stamp Jack Montgomery Edited August 13, 2023 by Donna L.

Members Sapounopera Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 I can understand someone like Erica Kane getting married as often as Elizabeth Taylor and Zsa Zsa Gabor. But this doesn't work for all soap characters and it shouldn't be the norm When many people have been married more than 5-6 times on a show, it is time for several of them to go (or move to the backburner) and be replaced by new people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 The problem lies with the writers/producers who keep marrying characters for short term story ignoring the long term damage. characters falling in love and marrying, claiming to be madly in love and everyone pretending they haven'tsaid and done this multiple times is insulting to viewers. As you said it works for some characters, but overall it's lazy. Characters can still have story and not be married. Look at Abby on Y&R . No sooner than she married Stitch, they divorced. Then another short lived marriage to Chance. At this rate, she'll catch up to her mother's marriage total in no time. The Stitch/Abby marriage never needed to happen. They could have been involved and the problems that drove them apart could have been the impetus for one or both to decide not to commit. Then if Chance and Abby did marry they could have played their problems a lot longer w/o heading straight to the divorce court. But the writers seem more interested into rushing them into marriage and just as quickly breaking them up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 (edited) I began this just for fun but I think it does illustrate a serious flaw in American soaps. We know that some people ridicule & criticize soaps & when we see something that they point at derisively, it is annoying to think they might be right. Nikki Reed Foster Bancroft DiSalvo Newman Abbott Landers Newman Newman Chow Sharpe Newman Y&R Olivia Spencer Lewis Lewis Spaulding Spaulding GL Katie Frazier Coleman Kasnoff Snyder Snyder ATWT B&B's Brooke is the undisputed Queen Bee of getting married but not staying married! That is 16 marriages! Yep. That's obscene. Edited August 13, 2023 by Donna L. Bridges combine 2 posts 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Okay, I have Kate Roberts Reed Kiriakis Brady Dimera Dimera Brady DOOL So better enlighten me who & what Winograd is because I don't know!!

Members FrenchFan Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Kate Winograd was a character in the 70s'. A doctor whom Bill Horton had an affair with. Fan fiction made Kate Roberts and Kate Winograd the same character but it is absolutely untrue. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 OH! Thank you so much!!! No wonder I didn't tumble to it. Never heard it. Never read any DAYS fanfic. Thanks again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Not actual fan fiction. Some DAYS fans speculated as to whether they were the same character, and then some began to present that theory as fact, and many people bit onto it without really questioning it. Like FrenchFan said, it ain't true. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Things like this are particularly frustrating given the way online character profiles most likely written by fans are presented as gospel. I was reading up on Kate several months ago and somehow wrapped my brain around the evidence that both characters were one and the same but it still felt like a bit of a stretch. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't both Kates connected to Bill which added to the justification/misunderstanding? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 13, 2023 Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 She never married Nick Davis. Erica Kane Martin Brent Cudahy Chandler Roy Roy Montgomery Montgomery Chandler Marrick Marrick Montgomery - some of those weren't valid, though. I know that none of the Mike Roy marriages were legal. Yep. I remember accepting it as gospel nearly 20 years ago. It just felt good to believe that Kate Roberts, as a character, had actually been around that long, but I don't believe there was ever any canon evidence to back that up. If the connection had ever been made when Kate first appeared in 1993, it should be super easy for a clip or two to pop up confirming it. At the very least, fans watching then would be able to point to anything that confirmed it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted August 13, 2023 Author Members Share Posted August 13, 2023 Thank you. This is the third thing I've caught Bing Chat being incorrect about AMC specifically! Someone involved with AI programming suggested to me that they weren't given much soap info. I'm sure that is so! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
