What is really strange is that I actually retained the information that she went to SUNY Purchase and roomed with Sherry Stringfield (2nd Blake from Guiding Light, but better known from ER). I do not need to know this!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Heh. I totally remember Sherry Stringfield from GL. Edit: "Christina 'Blake' Bauer Thorpe Lindsay Spaulding Spaulding"!!!
I have little doubt that StyleBlazer is trying to make the point wherever possible that the black person of the two looks younger. That seems in line with their thang.
It just occurred to me that I was just as fannishly attached and completely nerdy about soap operas as people who are not me are about comic books. I can tell you storylines from soap operas I didn't even watch! I could give you the Spaulding, Bauer and Lewis family trees. I remember when the actors changed. Mine are gone now, although I guess I could go back to Days of Our Lives. I haven't watched it since 1986, but I still recognize characters! The last time I tried to watch it, they were doing this horrible internal monologue voiceover that drove me insane!

Me too! And now I'm missing GL again.
I still miss the Bauer Barbeque (even though the one that happened after they got rid of the Bauer house set was really unpleasant).

Soaps were completely my fandom when I was young, and when I first started using the internet it was to look for soap fan sites. I was a Guiding Light and an As The World Turns fan when I was younger, with occasional All My Children watching if I was home sick from school. Then when Michael Zaslow was sick and moved to One Life to Live, I gave up ATWT for OLTL. And started watching AMC religiously again when GL was canceled. Now all four of them are gone, and I get my soap fix from General Hospital, which I had never watched before, but I followed some of the OLTL characters there.
I am still mad at myself for discarding (maybe 3 years ago) my collection of video tapes of ATWT and GL. I think I had every episode from about 1986 - 1991-- maybe longer. I could have put them up on youtube!
We should probably take this to the F2F thread.
Okay, heading there now.
Oh, wow. An actor I've worked with is competing in the Paralympics. [link]
