Eve Plumb wouldn't mind a "return" to soaps - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

From the most recent Soap Opera Digest (dated June 1, 2010):

Brady Bunch alum Eve Plumb recently read for a part on One Life to Live and told Digest she wouldn't mind a "return" to soaps. Most recently, Plumb guested on Days of Our Lives as Dora in 2008 ("What a great experience," she says), and in 2003, she appeared in Pine Valley as June on All My Children. "That was such a treat," Plumb raves. "I've been a long-time AMC fan, and to appear opposite Susan Lucci (Erica Kane) was like a dream come true."

I guess those rumors of Eve walking around Sunset Strip with a sign that read "WILL ACT ON SOAPS FOR FOOD" were true then...

I had never heard any of those rumors! Where did you learn about them?

My tongue was firmly in cheek when I posted that remark.

If any soap does book Eve (and I hope they will) they better not make the mistake of booking Maureen McCormack for the same episodes. (all it could be good for ratings)

Here's a pic of Eve when she guested on DAYS back in 2008:

They could have an on-screen catfight...and it wouldn't have to be scripted.

If that doesn't help soaps' faltering ratings, I don't know what will!!!

I don't watch soaps, but I would watch if there was a Marcia/Jan reunion catfight.

By the way, I like that picture of Eve.

I like it, too. I think Maureen/Eve could give Dynasty's Krystle/Alexis a run for their money in the catfight department.

I am wondering if the fact that soaps are not doing too well has to do with competition with talk shows and news programs. I remember the days in which there were also a significant amount of games shows during the hours that house wives and homemakers were watching. If you go as far back as the mid-eighties, you would even see the occasional repeat of a prime-time sitcom on the major stations! Oh how the times have changed!

That would probably even blow the ratings for Luke and Laura's wedding out of the water!!
