[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 242930, member: 27"] Story time.... :) On [I]One Life to Live [/I]there was a plotline where Starr Manning was trying to become a pop star, and an unscrupulous "producer" conned her into filming what she thought was a music video. It was actually going to be used as the basis of a porn video.
