Quiz Show
Farah Fath is settling in nicely as the sassy waitress and single mom Gigi on ONE LIFE TO LIVE. But having spent eight years playing Mimi on DAYS OF OUR LIVES, how much does she really know about her new daytime home? At a recent photo shoot for a feature in the January 1 issue of Soap Opera Digest, we tested her knowledge with one question for each time Asa Buchanan’s been married. See how she fared….
Digest: When was the show created?
Fath: Um … I know DAYS was two years before … 1968?
Digest: Who created it?
Fath: I have no idea.
Digest: Agnes Nixon.
Fath: Oh, yeah, I’ve heard of her.
Digest: Who is Bo Buchanan?
Fath: I don’t know, but I know Robert something plays him and everyone calls him Bob.
Digest: Who is Asa Buchanan?
Fath: He died and he was like the grandfather of everybody.
Digest: How many Emmy Awards does Erika Slezak (Viki) have?
Fath: Six.
Digest: What is an Adam and Eve on a raft?
Fath: What’s that?
Digest: A Bonjour Café dish.
Fath: Oh … I don’t ask, I just say it.
Digest: Who is Marcie’s adopted son’s dad?
Fath: Todd.
Digest: And who is his mom?
Fath: Some woman who died.
Digest: Who is the original actor to play Todd?
Fath: Roger Howarth.
Digest: Who is the original actress to play Marty?
Fath: Susan Haskell.
Digest: And who was Marty’s husband who died?
Fath: No idea.
Digest: Patrick Thornhart and he was Irish. He was Cole’s dad.
Digest: Who is Starr?
Fath: She is Todd and Blair’s daughter.
Digest: Any idea how many times Asa Buchanan was married?
Fath: No idea. How many?
Digest: 13.
Fath: 13?!
Digest: Well, some were do-overs.
Score: 8 out of 13. We gave her half points for knowing Robert S. Woods’s (Bo) first name and that Tommy’s biological mother (Margaret Cochran) is dead. (And just FYI, DAYS was created in 1965, not 1966.) As for her answer that Asa is “like the grandfather of everybody,” we’d say that’s pretty accurate.
Be sure to pick up the January 1 issue of Digest, on news stands the week of December 25, to learn more about Fath.
