Actually, yes, it is from "Soap". I was in middle school, I think, and remember the program being on in the background. I heard the name and thought it was pretty. It wasn't till quite a few years later when it was in syndication and I started watching the reruns that I learned just what the girl with the "pretty name" was all about! That aside, I still liked the name. We call her "Corie".

It's a bit of a joke in my family that the girls have TV namesakes of such umm.....differing character. Our Emily's very intellectual, a bit fussy, prim and organized and definitely has champagne tastes - even as a very little girl has loved antiques and expensive things. Corie defies explanation (in a good but challenging way). She's the family "button pusher", the needler, impetuous, a whirlwind of creative chaotic energy but has an incredibly huge heart. She has a lightning-fast brain (plays Battleship without marking her moves and has never lost a game), but definitely marches to the beat of a "different drummer". Had they been boys, I think "Felix" and "Oscar" might have been appropriate!

I didn't much care for the original, but liked the one set in Vermont.

Now that I think about it, the supporting cast was what made it although Newhart was ok too.
