Trivia:

In 1991 Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans Black) was lured back to Days of Our Lives with the promise that she could serve as executive producer of a DAYS spin-off called "Manhattan Lives". Initial hopes were to begin airing in 1994 if Another World wasn't renewed. In the end "Another World" (1964) was renewed and the spin-off never came to be.

Quotes:

Brady: Yeah, at least I don't go kissing up to people and thinking I am God's gift to this family and world. I don't pretend I'm perfect Belle. Going around bragging about Charity soft ball games and good grades.
Belle: Yeah, well, at least I'm not a loser.
Brady: Your a phony.
Belle: Your a dooface.
Brady: Airhead.
Belle: Jerk.
Brady: Sell-out!.
Belle: FREAK!

DOOL was a must-see soapie that I couldn't miss an eppy....

From the year of 1989...I had spent a lot of time at a friendis house, who was and STILL is a DOOL fan, she managed to get me hooked on DOOL within days of introducing me to the show. In the beginning, I took it very seriously...then after a while -- it started to look different and had more boost of comedy in a drama soap series. I loved it! Especially when Eileen Davidson - who played quite a number of roles -- such as Kristen Blake, Susan Banks, Sister Mary Moira and Penelope Kent! It was hysterical watching the funny scenes, Eileen certainly did her best performance of her life! :) Unfortunately, I stopped watching DOOL in 1998 when I moved out to Australia from California...DOOL's about 4 years behind USA's current storylines and NO captions for the Deaf/hearing impaired! I'm Deaf, by the way. If captions were started here on DOOL, then I'll be the faithful fan again. :)
