Soap Opera Character Names

Dawn Bridge – Life goals include getting knocked-up by the richest men in the county to sustain my lavish lifestyle on child support and bribes earned through blackmail.

Alan RD Route #3

So you would be a cyborg of some sort?

Coleen Glendower, the matriarch of a large and influential family.

Ian Coleridge

Jean Lincoln.

Meh.

That’s still better than mine.

Michael Homeside.

Either a salt-of-the earth, reliable, totally honest citizen or a back-stabbing completely unethical real estate developer. Good guy or bad guy? Mmm, depends on your point of view.

William Bryant.

White maned patriarch of the Bryant clan, one of Newton Roads oldest and most respected families, Mr. Bryant is known for his generosity and upstanding nature. One could ask for no better friend. However, should his family or his interests be threatened he will respond with implacable ruthlessness and ferocity.

ETA: I think a good rule is if you grew up on a numbered or lettered street, you can use the first named street you lived on. Failing that use the nearest named street to your lettered or numbered street.

I also have no middle name, so with just the street I’d be
Lake Shore.

I’m a teenage heiress that was kidnapped and fell in love with my captor and had his baby. It turned out that the captor was my brother so our son is also my nephew.

Jethro Albany. Yeesh, that’s worse than either my stripper name or porn star name! I think I’d rather go with something like … um, maybe Brick House. Yeah, I like that better.

You do realize that Jethro Albany is the birth name of the famous porn star Brick House, right?

Elliot Greenwood.

I’d want to be a troublemaker, a ne’er-do-well, but not so villainous that I’d have to be killed off or sent to prison. Think a male version of Sami on Days of Our Lives.

In Real Life Sami would have been in prison about ten times–kidnapping, selling a baby illegally, blackmail, fraud, doping people. fraud, lying about the father of her child, attempted murder, fraud, blackmail, switching medical records, blackmail, fraud…

Diogenes Riverway. :smiley:

The bstrd son of a Greek shipping magnate and a beautiful waitress!

I would make an appearance half-way through the series and become involved in a series of sub-plots:

  • a new claimant to my father’s estate (does the will specify ‘children’ or children from wedlock’?)

  • a romantic complication (especially if nobody realised who my mother was and I started dating my sister :eek: )

  • having struggled to pay my bills in the past, various ‘heavies’ are after me to pay up…

Same with me. Six Mile Lane. The street I grew up on was Ninth Street. I’m not a number, dammit! :stuck_out_tongue:

Aw, she’s just troubled and misunderstood. :frowning: :wink:

Anyway, if degrees of villainy mean anything, she’s no Stefano DiMera – she doesn’t have a private island laden with deathtraps or the resources to replace people with exact doubles. :smiley: And I don’t recall the attempted murder – she didn’t go through with her plan to kill EJ. Was there another?

Giving potentially lethal drugs to unsuspecting people (Carrie & Lucas). Double attempted murder.

:rolleyes: Oh man. Dorothy Seminary.

Tall, skinny old maid with Harry Potter glasses with halitosis. Works in the library. Hairstyle from 1971 (and not in a good way) and “suntan” colored pantyhose.

OR …

Tall, svelt model disguised in glasses and frumpy clothing … She’s D’arazay Seminaree, exotic temptress of Peach Orchard.

Ha! I’m Douglas Douglas!
