I think Lemay arrived before Rauch, as he talks more about his own experience first, in his book, then later mentions Rauch's arrival. http://www.igs.net/~awhp/credits.html#eps It says Lemay started in August 1971, Rauch in December. The first was Lyle B. Hill.

The first part of this:

Morgan Fairchild, and later, Pamela Sue Martin.

You can see a bit of DAYS early in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7oxyp6xvsg

You can see a bit of OLTL early in this clip. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t7oxyp6xvsg

Can't wait to see more. I hadn't thought about Biff possibly having some of the same stories Josh Lewis might have had, but you're right. It's so hard to get past the name "Biff" for some reason.

That's interesting. I never knew about Mary Grover. I remember Janice said she could only play basic piano - I wonder if that was the real reason they cast her. I haven't seen enough of Bennye to give an opinion on her work as Susan but the one episode I did see, she seemed like an out of place frump.

I didn't know that about the hair dye. That didn't help cause the bleeding ulcer did it? That's awful.

Wow! This is quite a find. I don't know what we'd do without your efforts to dig up more info on this show. You're right, this does seem like a very dark program. It's also weird to see a character named "Biff" in so many double-crossing and money stories. Did Betty lose a baby?

I would have had this as a bi storyline and given the story to Jay. That would be more interesting and spare us the tedious Ben/Phil nonsense. They could even have Jay develop feelings for Max. I would take that just to see Max's face! I barely watch any of the British soaps anymore...I love your posts so much and I always miss interacting with you regarding the stories and characters. If you have any thoughts on Corrie or Emmerdale please share them. I also made some comments about the Family Affairs pilot, if you have any response to those.

Christopher Cousins tried out for the role of Hunter Guthrie on OLTL but turned it down as he felt the role wasn't challenging. When Joanna Johnson told B&B she was leaving in 1990, they began talks with Genie Francis. She seemed to think they'd gotten pretty far; they said it was just preliminary. Either way, she went to AMC.

What caused GL's ratings gain?

That's interesting, as Rachel's husband played the guy who dated Liz before Bill Foster returned.

Are we on the way to having a "Super Congress"? http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/07/23/super-congress-debt-ceiling_n_907887.html

A full 1984 episode with Cranston is available.

Thanks. I didn't know anyone wrote Return to the Cul-de-sac, I thought the actors just improvised all that mess.

ZoeTate, how would you compare Kathy Glass and Pamela Shoop?

What did Ann Marcus say? I think Mary may have been paranoid over being replaced because of some of the stuff like killing off Jo's son, as well as the strong efforts in the early 70's to kill Jo off.

Does anyone know more about the proposed spinoff with Doug, Julie, Liz, and Neil, around 1983?

I think Greg Abels was on Where the Heart Is, wasn't he? I didn't know he played Art. I guess Labine/Mayer tried to look out for their friends from that show.

Welcome. I mostly know Daytime TV as coloring the pages that way, but you may be right. I can see Gleason as Jennifer. It's a shame Gleason never had another big role after Bright Promise.

Was the GH story Audrey's trial for the death of that nanny or whoever? DAYS - was this around the time Kitty Horton had been killed?
