Ola!
I have a question concerning 'The BuckMaster' aka Bucky MoneyBags.
When Bucky went to visit Mr. Thayer (his accountant and financial advisor) to set up the stealth payment of Jack's hospital bills, Mr. Thayer first called Bucky - 'BuckMinster' (which I am familiar with) but then during their converstation he called Bucky 'BuckingHam'? Where did 'BuckingHam' come from - or was this just a 'Foo Paaa' LOL
Puca - Oye Coma Va?
;D

The actor was a day player who never probably watched the show. They handed him the script that same morning and he flubbed the line.

Now that I think about it, that should have been Johnny's schtick with Jack, always getting his name wrong. It might have made Johnny a little more endearing and a lot less hateful to his son-in-law.

Think "Jock Ewing" (who really was the coolest character on that show...) |

I just always assume that it is part of the product as it is. The point is that in real life, people make lots of mistakes in conversation, use the wrong word, mispronounce things, say um & ah, etc. If soaps (in particular) are supposed to be like real life, it is safe to assume as I do. And that's my story - and I'm sticking to it. |

I can't decide if I think Buckminster or Buckingham is a more unfortunate name for a young man.
