I agree with you 100% Disney Guru it does sound fake.
I wonder why someone would lie like that.
On the other hand it would be cool to have a show like that.
If you guys really want fake, type in "Rough Crossing" at TVTome. A fan of
Days of our Lives went a bit too overboard with his devotion. More than half the characters (and the town itself) was ripped off entirely from Days of our Lives. A couple examples:
Days of our Lives premiered November 8, 1965
Rough Crossing "premiered" November 8, 1997
DAYS is set in Salem
RC is set in Salem
Characters played by fake people:
Trista Alley - Billie Reed
Trista Allen played Billie Reed from 1995-1999, and "Trista Alley" is a blatant ripoff of the name.
Hilary Andrea - Maggie Horton (1997-)
Maggie Horton has always been played by Suzanne Rogers, from 1974-2003 (character was killed by a serial killer)
Jeff Argubright - Mickey Horton (2003-)

Kail Harbick - Hope Williams Welch Brady Black #1 (2000-2001)/Princess Gina Von Amberg (2001)
Hope had been played by Kristian Alfonso from 1982-1987, 1990, and from 1994-present. And Princess Gina Von Amberg was also played by her in 1999 and 2000.

Nicholas Alamain was only played by Erik von Detten from 1990-1993, and by Victor Webster from 1999-2000.
They "claim" it's a local soap produced in Oregon (get it, Salem, Oregon?), bu there is no mention anywhere else except for the TVtome entry, and none of the actors or crew has done ANYTHING else besides Rough Crossing and other fake shows. This entry is definitely a laugh:

How can a guy be all those crew credits, while having acted on the show as well for 6 years?!? That's definitely the best confirmation that this show is fake.
*And for awhile there was a blurb that Ryan Koch was the nephew of the deceased Ted and Betty Corday, who created Days of our Lives!*
