SOD is ending it's weekly print edition


Recommended Posts

  • Webmaster

So, since I was given a voucher toward another magazine instead of a refund, I opted to get Inside Soap UK and paid the difference. Tell me why Soap Opera Digest couldn't be bothered to do something as simple as this in at least one issue. I mean, it didn't take much work or effort and would be a reason to check out the magazine.

This is along the lines of "End of an Era" and "Good Memories" 

Recently I went to the Locher room videos & watched & listened to Stephanie Sloane, of DIGEST. Great chat! For starters, she remembers being in her crib & her babysitter watching EON & seeing the opening on the TV. That's amazing to remember something from that young! As a child, she also remembers AW because her mother watched it, so to her, it was the background of what was going on.

As a teen she chose AMC to get into, Greg & Jenny, Angie & Jesse & then when they had the jet ski death, that was it & she gave up AMC. She switched to DAYS & became a BOPE fan! Next she checked into GH for the L&L wedding like the rest of the world.

In college, she studied Film, Radio & TV. After she interviewed at DIGEST Meredith called her to tell her she got the job, that same day. The GL Editor Donna Hoak taught her how to be a show editor. For her first interview she was to do Ian Zierling, who was about to be on this new show Beverly Hills 90210. He had a friend from the show with him & asked could she interview him, too. Breezily, she said she sure could. That turned out to be the first interview with Luke Perry! Her first show assignment was AW.

AH!

It's all there from 1975-2023. I think someone posted as I was posting the lists, so there might be a post or two separating the full list.

I just checked. It was you who did that post which separated the full list!

    • Is there anything in print or fan lore or info about Don Stewart & temperament or behavior? Of course my brain could be playing tricks on me. 
    • “On ERICA versus RACHEL, Erica was a very unique character. ... Rachel was a lower-class Erica, her mother was a cleaning woman, and her goals were not nearly stratospheric as Erica’s. Rachel just wanted to marry Russ or somebody with money. What Erica and Rachel have in common is they thought if they could get their dream, they’d be satisfied. But that dream has been very elusive.”– Agnes Nixon, Creator, ONE LIFE TO LIVE, ALL MY CHILDREN, and LOVING So my takeaway from this, plus knowing the characters, is that both Rachel & Erica schemed for acquisition. They wanted to acquire romance, husbands, prosperity, a kind of low-level fame or notoriety.  Am I correct in thinking that Carla schemed for safety, camouflage, to keep from getting caught & so for survival? Or did she also scheme for things similar to above?
    • MVJ on the track "Blind Dating" Columbia is the U.S. release. CBS is the international release.

    • I faintly remember the tv movie where Ted Danson played the lead.. my late mom liked the movie and she also read a few of the novels and enjoyed them.
    • MVJ on the track "Hot on the Trail" Columbia is the U.S. release. CBS is the international release.

    • Paula and Jeanne’s first time writing Alex and Stephanie. It didn’t seem like there were any changes in Alex at all lol but I can’t help  but think that that’s more on RSW than the writing. I didn’t see a big change with Stephanie either, but I did enjoy her scenes with Kayla, whose character has gotten so much stronger since last week. I hope we get to see a lot more of their relationship, and their relationship with Steve as well. As for Steve and Shawn stealing the drug to try to save Bo, idk. I don’t dislike it, but I just don’t know lol but I also think that it is time for Steve to pass the torch on to the next hero.  And finally, Javi showed some kind of spark! I was a little worried in his first scene today that he was going to continue to be so obsessed with Leo, but him demanding that Leo drop the investigation into Rafe and Gabi could actually be pretty interesting. I don’t think that would’ve happened under Ron. And if we’re forced to endure Javi/Leo, let them at least have some kind of actual conflict, instead of the forced, biased crap that we were subjected to. And speaking of Leo, one year ago today, he got Dimitri’s letter

      Btw, why is Gabi so beholden to Javi? Cousin or not, if I was her, the minute he said to her, “If he goes, I go”, I would’ve been like  Also, are they going to go there with Philip and Gabi? I’d prefer that than Gabi getting involved with Alex. 
    • She does look good in blue. I wish they'd do more with her hair, change it up the way JMW does now and then
