Toon Amphitheater NBC Soap FanFest is the first event of its kind in the history of NBC Daytime. We are delighted to give the fans of Days of Our Lives and Passions this unprecedented opportunity to meet the stars of their favorite daytime dramas, said Sheraton Kalouria , Senior Vice President, NBC Daytime Programs. Our partnership with Universal Orlando allows us to hold this event at Islands of Adventure, a venue as exciting and dynamic as the shows themselves. Interestingly, before coming to NBC Daytime, Kalouria worked for ABC Daytime and was the marketing mastermind behind the creation of Super Soap Weekend. Accordiing to Kalouria, the NBC event is meant not to compete with SSW, but to enhance the experience for soap fans.
Market research proves that many soap fans watch shows on both networks.
Soap Opera Digest , in cooperation with NBC and Universal Orlando, will offer two lucky soap fans the chance to win a trip to NBC Soap FanFest through a national sweepstakes. Entry forms for the contest will be located in Soap Opera Digest magazines on sale from August 28 to September 11, 2000. Anything is possible. One thing is for sure. Carly is not about to let the man of her dreams walk down the aisle with someone else.
