soapy roundup

I've said it before, but it bears repeating: my chiropractor is a genius.

On yesterday's Ryan's Hope...

Jack: Where's Siobhan? Didn't she just come in?

Mary #3: Pay attention to ME. Siobhan can take care of herself.

Boy, that was a telling exchange. What Mary doesn't know is that Jack has just appointed himself Siobhan's protector and best friend and true love, and he's not gonna be abdicating that role any time soon.

How absolutely awesome it is that, having been let down by the family once too often, Siobhan decides to please herself and gets a job at Planned Parenthood the Family Planning Conference!

Meanwhile, in the Tom/Faith/Hallucination!Terry storyline, it's time for the location shoot of DOOM!

There's a great podcast interview with Ilene Kristen (Delia on Ryan's Hope, Roxy on OLTL) here. My favorite line: "I remember the St. Patrick's Day episode where I wore the green glasses, when I had hysterical blindness!"

Here are some clips from The Edge of Night, circa 1976, in which Louise Shaffer (Rae on Ryan's Hope) gives a bravura performance as split personality Serena/Josie! Great stuff.

[ETA: OMG, the Soapnet website actually posted some new Ryan's Hope content, a cool Where Are They Now? feature with some great photos.]

Today is The Young and the Restless's 36th anniversary. One of the things I love best about this show is that it gives its eighty-something star Jeanne Cooper front-burner storylines, dual roles, and a love interest. Here's a little clip from today's anniversary show, in which Cooper plays Dead!Marge, doppelganger of Katherine Chancellor!
