[It's up to the first poster to come up with a set up, and then each following post will either complete it or fill in the blank(s). And, as always, whoever posts the set up is certainly allowed to post their own completion/fill in as a follow up.]

Set-up:
Q: "Yes Daphne, you're witnessing the most hideous, immoral excess of the 20th century: _________________!!!"
D (speaking in Q's head I guess): "No, I can't look!!!! Well, maybe just a little..."

After hours at the Brittany du Soir

[pointing-up] [a1f5] Too funny!! [thumbleft]
-
If those walls could talk! [ghost_cool]
-
([pointing-up] If only!! Recalling what went on there after taping is the book that should have gotten written!! Each actor could have done their own chapter of recollections [nodassent] But alas...)
-
I'd love to read that! I imagine that a few of the cast only went for food and drinks, not necessarily in that order. A few others may have otherwise indulged.
-
([pointing-up] Even from what little we do know, there probably would have been enough material for more than one book!! [nodassent] Though if PomPress were the publisher, who knows how many of the stories KLS would have nixed?! ::))
-
That's a very good question. While KLS goes to great lengths to paint life on the set as something just shy of a Disney movie, her costars have been quite a bit more blunt. ("And what show were you on, dear?") But her fictionalized depiction of life on the set in Dark Passages is less than flattering.
-
Uncle Roger,
From my recollections of KLS's book, "Dark Passages," I don't think that either Mitchell Ryan or the late David Ford would have cared for the way their characters were portrayed in that novel.
Bob
-
Quite so, Bob. I don't think that Nancy Barrett would have been especially pleased either.
-
Yes, Uncle Roger, your comment regarding Nancy Barrett is well taken. In reading the book, it was fun trying to match up the fictional characters of the novel with the original DS' beloved television characters.
-
Yeah. Who knew that KLS aspired to be Jacqueline Susann?
-
KLS has another novel, entitled, "Down and Out in Beverly Heels." I haven't read it yet, but the story apparently deals with a working actress in Los Angeles, who's searching for her missing husband and trying to pay the bills. (This does not sound like possible DS material.)
-
I am slightly familiar with it but I am not enough of a fan to purchase her non DS material.
I know that you'll appreciate this, Bob. The 90210 neighborhood where KLS and Pomegranate Press reside is almost directly across the street from the house where George Reeves died.
-
Uncle Roger,
I wonder if the celebrity tour guides point out those points of interest to the Dark Shadows and Superman fans as the tour bus drives down that particular street? [ghost_huh] [ghost_grin]
-
That would be me, lol, and yes, I would be thrilled (tho I wouldn't let it show).
-
I don't know if there is a tour that covers that specifically but the death tour might. (This is California where even the coroner's office has a gift shop.) There's a lot of interesting stuff in that section of Beverly Hills. Lucille Ball, Jack Benny and James Stewart lived a few blocks away. The gated community (where the extremely rich live) is up the hill.
-
There could be a good "death tour" in Collinsport also. Imagine the tour guide pointing out where past and present residents of Collinsport met their deaths in The Collinsport Inn, The Blue Whale, the docks along the harbor, the site where the Todd's antique shop burned down, etc.
Of course, the Collinwood estate, where most of the murders took place, would be strictly off-limits to any sightseers, unfortunately. [ghost_nowink] [ghost_wink]
-
I don't think that Nancy Barrett would have been especially pleased either.
What! Send the mobs with firebrands after KLS ASAP!! [madan]
-
I remember having a discussion with Stuart Manning where we both came to the conclusion that Nancy could very likely sue over her depiction in the book. Probably not worth her time.
