I think they could have found a way, as they were supposedly getting the hang of the setup, but the show didn't have much longer left, the show was lucky to have lasted that long, much as I miss it and hope for some revival.

Thanks for the extra details.

This would be better than Melinda Fee. (RIP to her)

I think Emma did fit into the stories more in terms of how she could affect Angela, and I thought Margaret Ladd was a good actress. Emma was also very unique to the canvas. Lucy had none of that as she didn't have strong enough connections to the canvas. Charlene was likeable, she was pretty, and she clearly appealed to some male viewers (maybe some female viewers too), but the character wasn't made to last. I do remember enjoying her when she came back and was just commenting on all the action.

That doesn't matter with soaps as often as it should, but I think Nicole is done.

Not a ton but Nora, Blair, and Jackson have all had short stints. And Erica is mentioned.

I'm always happy to see soap-related content on accounts like that, although I know Jack was only getting the strip due to his music career. I forgot to say thanks for your latest writeup. Glad to see the buildup to Lucy. Tony and Tania learning of her pregnancy breaks my heart. Bryan and Claudia - I wonder if they would even be getting as much 'story' as they are if this wasn't a period where more soaps were trying to give black character scraps (about half or a little over half). I'd say it's hard to believe they'd been on the show for about 8 years until I remember the state of the current black GH canvas. I can't believe what Jake said to Anna. Maybe I should praise the show for realism, as some people are that blunt and callous toward single women, but I wish she'd cold-cocked him.

I'm clearly not a great person as I still howled at that scene...but I agree that Doug deserved better.

I would have loved seeing what he would have done with Tom for sure. They might have even been inspired to write his relationship with Lisa as more than just Tom seeing her as a frustrating old dear.

Definitely. And Linda Cook is in there too. I know Richard never did another long term soap stint (I don't know if he was ever even asked) but he would have been a great fit in Marland's era. Seth in some ways is similar to his type of role, although I thought Steve Bassett was fine.

Thanks @slick jones It felt like Marco had been around longer than just a year. Such a waste. I'm glad those '50s anthology videos popping up lately are providing more info.

It must be a financial issue. I liked Sasha and I think they could have had some story with her and Michael, probably to show them trying to be a happy family but neither of their hearts being in it. I would have had a whole mess with Chase/Sasha/Michael/Willow/Brook Lynn (throw in Dante too I guess).

Another early Peggy McCay color episode. Journey Into Darkness--Skip Homeier, Peggy McCay, 1957 color TV And since I never noticed before - happy 70 pages (now 71), Rosehill fans. A real feat.

Nice to see Frank getting a gig.

Neither would I. I hope she's alright.

Thanks!

I would imagine she is getting paid less, but I don't know how the salaries work.

Thanks.

I wonder if they are waiting with Finola not being on. Do we know when she will be back?

That's wonderful news. Now P&G should release her appearance on Guiding Light!

I think her sister filled in for her before.

I generally find her more enjoyable to watch than Klein, although Klein is paired with one of the most annoying actors ever on the show.

I liked her on GH but I don't know if she would just fade away on DAYS as they have a number of somewhat interchangeable women at present. I guess it may not be long term anyway. I hope she can still be at Robert's memorial, whenever that happens.
