Whatever happened to their psychic, did she die, or is her sister still filling in?

Serena Sabak? That's her 'daughter.' Unless its someone filling in for Serena. The 'mother' was Sophia.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

I dont know, i'm not too well filled in with the whole Sabak family

Sophia hasn't been around since the early 90s at the latest. Serena is also known as 'America's sexiest psychic.'

I see that 'serena' was in a coma for a while and was replaced by sister Sonya. This article is some great insight into the WWN.

Dotti's and Serena's advice columns were similar fiction. As directed, I made up the letters and the answers until I was flaming out and asked to see if they really got mail. I was hoping to kick-start some ideas. Bad move. It was like asking to watch an autopsy or to see how sausage is made. It turned out Dotti and Serena got lots and lots of mail from lots and lots of people who had no business grasping sharp, pointed objects like pens and pencils. Here's an example, printed verbatim:

"Dear Serena, Please cast a spell for me to win the lottera repeated lottera repeated [sic] so I can do things and to have my husband dead [sic]. I also want his mother dead so more money for me. God Bless You. From Sunny California."

What the hell are you two talking about?

 

[JoshuaJSlone]

The soap opera continuity of fictitious characters using fake letters in the most far-out grocery store rag, of course.

WWN is the fucking BEST. I remember one story in there a while back (around 1990) that actually happened about 20 miles from my home. This woman killed herself by smoking while spraying hairspray. NO one but the people that lived around there would believe me.

I have a story that I've been telling my wife about (read: threatening to write) that I wanted to offer to WWN free of charge. Maybe one day, it'll be published.

My favorite WWN headline is 'I was spanked by Sadam!'
