[quote name=\'Fedya\' date=\'Dec 31 2003, 04:22 PM\'] Why should we care about soap operas?  :-p

Other than providing a cheap source of Z-list celebs for game shows, of course.... [/quote]
 And z-list hosts.

 Jed Allan was passable on the Temptation pilot in 1980, and he did keep Celebrity Bowling running for a couple of years. John Gabriel, former Ryan's Hope co-star, was considered to replace Pat on Daytime WOF at one point, word is he was no better than Rolf.

Also RH-related: Earle Hindman, AKA WIlson on Home Improvement, died this week. He was a co-star on Ryan's Hope for most of its run. I don't think this was the case, but did he appear on any ABC celeb game shows, most likely a soap star week of Feud?

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Dec 31 2003, 08:25 AM\'] For those people that care about such things, Lynne Thigpen was noted in the annual New Year's Eve Today Show "death roll", but Rod Roddy wasn't. [/quote]
 One of my local stations did one on Monday that didn't include Bobby Hatfield, one of the Righteous Brothers--and that station was based in the town where he died!

ObGameShows: "You've Lost that Lovin' Feelin'" and "Unchained Melody" might been used on Name That Tune.

He also did a week of The $50K Pyramid in early 1981, as well as a Soap Opry vs. the Grand Ole Opry week of FF in 1984.

Nope--you should change yours. [/quote]
 Meh. I always thought it was more red than orange, but whatever. Dosn't really matter.

 I suppose someone is going to suggest "burnt umber" next.  Can't we just say reddish-orange and call it good?
