SOD is ending it's weekly print edition


Recommended Posts

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!
