sports columnist does soap opera...

I came across this while looking at a blog: From soapcentral.com

During the storyline, Stephen A. Smith, a sports columnist for the Philadelphia Inquirer and an ESPN personality, will appear as a reporter at the Metro Court. Smith is a self-professed GH fan since the age of 5.


"It was a wonderful experience all-around," Smith beams. "Meeting many of the actors on the show - including Steve Burton (Jason) and Greg Vaughan (Lucky) - was very exciting and a dream come true. Let this be a lesson to all the ladies out there: There are men who love the soaps."

So would any of you do a soap opera?

 

I've been watching As The World Turns on a regular basis since I started working nights in (whoa) 1980.

If I had the opportunity to appear on the show ... I don't think I'd take it.

I'm not the type of person who would go up to Martha Byrne and say, "Lily Snyder, I've loved you since you were a little kid!" But I do identify with the characters more than the actors who play them. And I think I'd lose a lot of that if I got to meet them in real life.

 

My Mom has been watching "Days of Our Lives" for about 40 years, so I would appear on that show for her. I think she watches "Passions" (is it still on?), so I would guest on there too. Hell with journalistic integrity. Of course, this issue is highly unlikely to come up.

Fittingly, this thread includes an ad for www(dot)truetalent(dot)com, which seems to handle "soap opera casting calls."

And, for the record, I would be delighted to appear on Days and seduce every hot woman in Salem. Simultaneously. ;D
