I'm sorry to hear that. -
My thoughts on the other recasts shown here: Robyn Millan - she looked too old for the role. Very affected. I have no idea if she was meant to last longer than she did. Nancy Barrett - I loved Nancy on Dark Shadows, but she seemed very wan and strangely insecure here, and again she looked a little old for the material, not helped by the terrible styling of the show Mary Carney - she was OK. The problem was I didn't like Mary Ryan, I never liked Mary, even with Kate Mulgrew, although Kate salvaged some of the material with her charm and chemistry with co-stars. Kathleen Tolan - wretched. One of the top three worst recasts in all of daytime history. Anti-chemistry with Michael Levin, inability to speak, bull-in-a-china shop line readings. She's the main reason Mary was killed off IMO. Nicolette Goulet - again, odd line readings. Not much chemistry with Levin. The problem for her was that by this time the show had lost track of who Mary was as a character. Siobhan had also stolen much of her thunder. I do think she was very good in her last few weeks in the role, especially her final confrontations with Jack.

John Blazo was a hot hot piece of ass, and a sensitive, understated actor with a good wry humor. I have always thought the show did him a huge disservice with his material, complete with a truly bizarre scene where he and Nana Visitor laid in bed together talking about how they looked like brother and sister. Apparently Claire Labine was writing Game of Thrones before GRRM did.

I don't really know that much about Cleveland. I've heard some people say it's lost a lot of its business and heard others say it's doing well.

Oh wow. That's terrible. I'm so glad you're OK.

Ugh Robyn Millan. I wish I'd seen her on Where The Heart Is. She was awful as Delia.

I saw some posts at DS from Brendan fans trashing JP's rape story as a ripoff of Brendan's. Of all the things to criticize that awful story for. I guess they aren't interested enough in that gay zombie show Emmett Scanlan slurs his way through, that has about 3 viewers.

Rosie is a bad idea for any permanent job on a talk show. She starts out as sharp and fun and becomes a black hole of bitterness and unresolved childhood baggage.

They even had Stephen Nichols repeatedly do intros explaining that MBE was fine. I've rarely seen this with a temp recast situation. There are other clips. As someone in the comments section pointed out, she looks a lot like a younger Joy Garrett (Jo #1). Not sure what the casting had in mind.

December 1973 TV Radio Mirror. Don Stewart's ribald love life was one of the mainstays of 70s soap articles, along with the marital troubles of Ed Mallory and the very happy marriage of Eileen Fulton (oops). I think toward the end of the decade he revealed that he was married with a child and had just kept quiet about it. Hot photo though. A few years later more soap guys like Joel Crothers and George Reinholt started doing this more often.

Weekday TV March 1976

I think so, yes. I'm happy to see you here again. I was wondering a few days ago if you still posted here.

Looks good. I hope the Carol fans enjoyed that. Poor Judith never gets a break.

Sorry to hear this. He was so important for Dark Shadows.
-
I didn't know that about Dixie. Sad to hear about Robert Costello. He was so important to Dark Shadows.
-
She was on SOAP and in some game show panels, at a time that Ron was coming of age. You may be right...I guess I'm not sure why else she would have been cast.
-
I think someone wanted a pseudo-primetime name (as she'd been many years earlier) and didn't care about the rest. I doubt they even considered soap actresses.
-
Thanks. I never can remember as CZP was pregnant several times in that timespan.
