30-second Star Slips Onto Set Of `Ryan`s` Soap - 1987

Jackie Zeman auditioned for the part of Reenie Szabo

If she didn't have an unprofessional reputation from her time over at One Life to Live, perhaps they would have considered Kathryn again when Catherine Hicks left the following spring.

I don't know what prompted his leaving. I'm about a week behind in my viewing, but I think killing off two characters, within a month of each other, seems like a odd thing for a new show to do when they're still trying find a audience.

Great picture of Ty McConnell. Carl, do you know if the actors' dates, on the character profiles, over at Soap Central are reliable? I'm asking because when I was looking up Frank Latimore on Guiding Light it said that he began his recurring role over there on April 5, 1976. He was killed off RH on March 29th and I was surprised that only 7 days later made his Guiding Light debut. Talk was that he liked playing that warmer father role more than playing cold Ed Coleridge.

I will put entire piece in the Discuss The Soaps section. Apparently, some names were misspelled in the piece.

I suppose having Alicia hang out with Bob tied her closer to Delia. But Bucky was Pat's best friend and would have still been a link. In fact, Bucky's strong negative view of Delia might have made Alicia feel even more torn about her promise to keep the miscarriage secret.

I think that was just speculation on the writers part. Interesting how they also thought Bucky was going to be the one paired with Alicia.

Thanks. A few years ago, I had found this, online, about John Blazo. It's from 2001. The Morning Call/John Blazo

One of Catherine's friends from Cornell, who was the actress who worked as a nurse, was Sharon Gabet. Sharon played Raven #2 on The Edge of Night. She also had roles on Another World as Britttany and One Life to Live as Melinda #3 . (Excerpt)

I enjoy reading them, too. Some things about the actors' lives are repeated in these interviews, from various magazines, but I always learn a new tidbit or two. Magazine were very different back then.

Malcolm Groome (Pat #1): Y IS FOR YOGA (1977)

Love Louise's response.

Over the years, Andrew Robinson has said he was fired because that the viewers couldn't get his Dirty Harry performance out of their head, which interfered with his being accepted as Frank. Sounds like there could be a little truth in that story. This was a short blurb in the gossip section.

More details were posted about that and it turns out that Jordan Clarke had graduated from Cornell a few years ahead of Catherine and was a friend of Catherine's boyfriend. Thanks for the Helen Gallagher piece. Even though I've heard her real life New York voice elsewhere, whenever I read her quotes, I hear them in her Maeve Ryan Irish accent.
