Sounds very good- can't wait for it.

Thanks for passing along that info!! It looks great!!

JR1 · 03-03-2011, 01:16 AM

You're welcome- and yes it does.

Notably absent from the interviews list are Jennifer Salt, Rebecca Balding and- of course- Billy Crystal. Billy was hawking the "Soap" DVDs when he was on Letterman not too long ago, so he should have no trouble talking about "Soap."

Gregory Sierra's not on the interview list, either - dang it!!!

On the upside, I'm glad they've gotten who they have so far, especially Jimmy Baio.

When was the last time he was heard from?

JR1 · 03-03-2011, 01:33 AM

Been some time for Mr. Baio- outside of some post-"Soap" TV guests shots, he kinda disappeared from the biuz, I guess. At least he has not hit the reality world like his cousin. hehe

Doris Roberts is another- although she had a very minor role, in just four episodes.

I e-mailed the author and inqured about some of the notable missing names.

Cool!! Hopefully they'll get more cast and crew members on board. I'm surprised Tony Thomas (as in Harris/Thomas/Witt) isn't on the list, either.

i was never a big fan of the show but with all the contrversey that the show caused during its run it should be interesting to read everybodys take on it

Right now, the books' planned for a December release (but we know that's always subject to change).

The author has a couple of interviews set up for this month (not discussing who yet, so not to jinx it). With some people, it's a matter of going through channels.

catlover79 · 03-03-2011, 12:58 PM

It'll be interesting to see all this unfold!!

Sounds good! I would love to get the scoop on SOAP.

I've followed the proceedings on their FB page.

Not sure if the book will make it out before year's end, but the author is working diligently on it. He's spoken to all of the key cast members, behind-the-scenes people, etc.

Much looking forward to it.

I really liked what I saw so far, especially the bit they borrowed from the real Step Brothers when they went to rescue Billy from the compound. It would be great if they interviewed Thomas/Witt/Harris and Jimmy Baio.

Hi all,

Many thanks for your interest in the 'Soap' book; I'm the fellow who's putting it together. And just to clarify, comedyfreak, I spoke with Witt/Thomas/Harris and Jimmy Baio for the book. (A complete list of those interviewed can be found in the lower left margin of the blog.)

All the best,
Aaron
