Totally off the recent topics, but I was just curious about something. When Ben Hendrickson died, there was a memorial service for him attended by his co-stars. I've never heard anything about the service, and I just wondered if any one else has. I'd love to know who attended, tributes given, etc. Were there any articles about the service? Thanks.

Back to the Dan character.Someone suggested that rather than Sorasing Dan,Ellen could have had a younger brother who could have played out most of Dan's stories,leaving Dan to come of age in the mid 70's. So Ellen could have been concerned sister rather than mother,thus not pushing her into an older age bracket.

This would have been a much better option.  In fact, Ellen could have had *two* brothers - "Dan" being one brother and another brother to assume the "Paul Stewart" role.  So basically a "Dan Lowell" and a "Paul Lowell" who would have played out the original storylines.  It would not have screwed up the canvas as much, plus it would have allowed the Lowell family to survive longer than they originally did on the show.

I'm probably certain these have been shared before, but trying to getting away from the comedy that airs daily on CBS at 12:30 I needed to look back on what I miss most of the CBS daytime line-up. This from SOD in October 1976 but it was aired in July I believe:

This from SOD again and it is a little bit earlier in 1976, but it always reminds me that Tom Hughes had a life before Margo and never aged. Poor Kevin and Sandy in the long run, what was the reasoning of bringing Sandy back in the first place?

I feel that's because they aged Tom so early and put him through so much (with Carol AND with Natalie) that it otherwise created unnecessary story baggage down the road.

 

I don't know whether I've mentioned this before, but I always wanted Meg Bennett (ex-Julia, Y&R; ex-Liza, SFT) to be cast as a returning Natalie Bannon Triandos.
