Members BABs Posted September 21, 2024 Members Share Posted September 21, 2024 My Sister was named Barbara to be called Babs after a soap opera character in 1958. Does anyone remember which soap and anything about the character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dc11786 Posted September 23, 2024 Members Share Posted September 23, 2024 My guess would be Babby Dennis, one of the minister's daughters, on "The Brighter Day." Mary Linn Beller played the character when your sister was born. The character was a young ingenue in the late 1950s. I think after your sister was born her character was recast with Nancy Malone and she became involved with a gangster, Peter Nino. Babby and Peter disappeared, I believe, when the show relocated from being filmed in New York to California. Or so the rumor goes and soap folk lore is riddled with inaccuracies. There was also Barbara Sterling on "Love of Life," but she didn't appear until early 1959. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
