Wow, I had no idea it wasn't the same Tony. That is crazy. I knew Kelly left in May 1987 - I just wondered why she didn't go with her family immediately, if that meant they had some plans for her they didn't follow up on. I wonder if the show always planned to only have Marty posing as April's mother or if that was a story change. The Marty/Jim stuff sounds like it could have been interesting, but the show wrote out everyone but Ned en masse in fall 1987, it looks like (or perhaps Ned went too? He didn't in the last recap I posted). I notice that the bad guys blackmailing April threatened to disfigure Marty, which is the same threat used against Lorna a few years earlier. Did you know Sherrie came back for Ava's and Clay's wedding? I didn't. I wonder why they didn't ever bring her back again - they could have used her instead of Carly, or used her as well as Carly. Thanks for telling me about Norma. I think I went to the Ilene fansite a long time ago but haven't in the last few years. I will have to look for that.

I was reading in a January 1968 TV Picture Life daytime roundup thing, and in the section for LIAMST, they say that before the show began airing, Leslie Charleson replaced Brooke Mills. Have any of you ever heard anything about this?

Sedrick, dc, was Elizabeth Savage playing Gwyn at the time of the story with Norma? How long was Ilene Kristen around exactly? Was her character very different than Delia (or Roxy)? Why exactly would they have two characters named Rick in a two year period? Trisha dates/uses Rick as a beard, then a few years later another man named Rick shows up and befriends her and is her long lost brother. Is it me or is the Dolly story repulsive and way too much for a daytime soap? Dolly essentially is raped repeatedly because she needs to find her child who is being sexually exploited? That's just awful. I wonder if Marland gave the alcoholism story to Ann that he initially had going with Lily Slater's mother. Do you know what happened to Jenny after she helped make sure Cabot was acquitted of Nick's murder? I assume they found out at some point that she was the killer. So how long exactly was Kelly around after Zack and Lorna left? Did they have story plans for Kelly that they never followed up on, or were they just waiting until her contractual cycle was up? I like your idea about Tony/Cec. I'm not sure why they wrote Tony out, unless the actor wanted to leave. He'd been there for 2-3 years by that point and could have been a B-leading man, especially with all the trouble finding a Curtis. I find Stacey annoying in some of these recaps, especially around the time of the custody battle. Is anyone else surprised at how long the custody battle went on even when Tug and Sherrie came to town to claim their son? Usually a show would just give the baby back to them and they'd go. Did they ever get their son or was this the JJ that Stacey raised until her death? dc, I wanted to apologize for not posting these in the right order. That may be a reason why they seem so disjointed. I have them all over the place and I just post them when I find them and hope people can patch the dates together.

Yes he is! September 8, 1987 Digest.

You can see some clips with her here, just type in Lisa in the search box on the channel. http://www.youtube.com/user/veggieburgermeister She's also in some of this set of clips, I think.

I know what you mean. I never have written because I always assume they never read it. Now I regret that.

I'm glad you enjoyed it. If you have any thoughts on the show we'd love reading them.

I have another article on this too somewhere, but can't find it at the moment. February 1970 TV Star Life.

I know there's a lot of the shipping stuff - some with Maggie/Willie and Victoria/Roger were interesting.

The first 11 episodes are on Youtube again, at the moment, but the others aren't.

That's nice. I haven't read any DS fan fiction in a while, although I enjoyed some (there was a fun one about Angelique/Cassandra reading a magazine Elizabeth wanted to read, then putting it down only when Elizabeth was no longer interested).

Thanks. It was gorgeous.

Who's Who in Daytime TV 1966.

Thanks. I saw another one a minute ago, of a man. Who was that?

February 27, 1979 Digest. I'm glad Michael M. Ryan liked the 90 minute format, since he lost his job over it.

Who is in your banner?

I never have - I don't think I could take that type of thing. I hope you enjoyed the experience. I'd love to talk about the show so if you have anything to say please do. Nancy Barrett's episodes of Ryan's Hope are on Soapnet for the next few weeks.

I've watched a little bit. I never have had a chance to watch more than dribs and drabs, something else always seems to come first. There is - or was - quite a bit of it on Youtube. I have some articles I will post when I find them again. I mostly remember the scene where the reverend is killed.
