Daytime Soap Opera, Nighttime Soap Opera; links

I'm still watching Buffy on this beautiful Saturday afternoon, and I just made the following connection (and believe me, I'm embarrassed that I know this, but why not share it with you anyway):

All My Children on ABC. There is a character named Kendall, who is Erica Kane's daughter, and who had a baby on the show two years ago who she named Spike.

Rewind several years.

Buffy the Vampire Slayer on Fox, back when Fox was still an antennae receivable network. Sarah Michelle Gellar plays Buffy. One of her major enemies on the show is named Spike.

Rewind several more years.

Sarah Michelle Gellar originally played Kendall on All My Children. Maybe this explains why Kendall chose such a bizarre name for her baby.
