Soon after RFK’s assassination, Bell wrote a letter that was published in Variety discussing the way Hollywood portrayed violence in tv and films. Robert Scott Wilson posted this to his Instagram today. I guess some CIN Stan’s have been harassing him about his girlfriend, lol.

That makes sense. I enjoyed her in her role as Kitty the snoopy reporter on The Doctors. Wish I could see her earlier work.

Thanks @victoria foxton! I enjoy seeing the episodes with Don Briscoe. He was one of my childhood pin-ups when he was on Dark Shadows. 😊

@slick jonesFound this from August 1964 re Lynne Rogers.

Thanks @DRW50!

@victoria foxtonThank you!

Thanks again @victoria foxton

So sorry to hear this. Enjoyed him on GL. His story with Jane Elliott as Carrie Todd is the first I remember watching. He seemed like a nice man in real life too.

Thank you @victoria foxton.

So sorry about Naomi Judd. She was from my hometown and people there were proud of her success.

They really didn't start casting soap actors based mainly on their looks until the early 70s. Mickey (and John Clarke) is one of my favorites, but the only time I crushed on him a bit was when he had the long hair and beard when he met Maggie.

Thanks @victoria foxton!

He did it a couple of times, though I can't remember why, lol. And he sang too, of course. Something from Pagliacci, I think. Laura didn't hate Julie, she was just doing all kinds of crazy things, like putting toddler Jennifer on a bus by herself. She was having visions of her dead mother talking to her too. Not sure why these posts merged, sorry.

I think she was bitter about her parents’ divorce.

He thought David was too old for Julie. She was still in high school when they first started dating. And I think David had been in some kind of trouble earlier (as had Julie, of course, lol). He created a role for SSH on Y&R after she left Days in the 80s, and supposedly she was his first choice to play Stephanie on B&B. Margaret Mason was on Y&R, and Robert Clary was on both Y&R and B&B.

Julie and David had been a couple before his hook-up with Susan. Tom made them break up. That's when David had his drunken hook-up with Susan (I think in his car). Julie and David had started seeing each other in secret after that (before they learned Susan was pregnant).

Thank you @victoria foxton!

This is the scene in which Julie is burned by the fire from Maggie’s stove. It’s a bit longer than the one included in the conversation between SSH and SR that was posted earlier.

Here’s a clip of Dan’s suicide on The Doctors. It’s from August 17, 1971. To make it even darker, he did it on his young son’s birthday.

I remember Susan was always being called "frigid." That's where I first heard the term, lol. I think the explanation for the park incident was that she felt guilty for having sex with a stranger, so she started to believe she was raped. (When she got pregnant by David, that was during a drunken encounter in David's car). She was going to abort the baby from the encounter in the park, but then was told she had uterine cancer, so this would be her last chance to have a child. Scott was the man she really loved but he married Julie instead. I don't think there was any dust-up from DA leaving for GH. I think I read somewhere that Days had just let her contract expire anyway.

@victoria foxtonThanks! I wasn't watching yet, or if I was, I don't remember it. But these events did lead to my first memories of Days the following year (the baby dying and Susan killing David). I don't remember any of the Julies before SSH took over.

Re Tom Eplin, I seem to recall that Days tried to get him to play Harrison Lord in that stupid story arc last year with Bonnie's sister-in-law, Calista Flockhart, but he apparently wasn't available for the dates on which they wanted him.

@slick jones Rosemary Garbell also played Bobbie on Painted Dreams; Ronnie Greenman on The Guiding Light; a war orphan on Arnold Grimm's Daughters; various roles on Knickerbocker Playhouse (including Janey in episode titled Janey Comes to Stay); unknown role on Author's Playhouse (episode titled Never in this World); various roles on Theater of the Air; Ruth Baldwin on Bob Becker's Pet Parade; and Mary Jo on Jack and Jill Theater (episode titled Let Me Grow Up). Tootie's last name on Mary Marlin was Mitchell (apparently was a waif adopted by Bunny Mitchell).

LOL---has he given any reason for having it? Like another work project? I'm hoping because I think he's cute otherwise.

No one thought Sarah was dead so it isn't much of a reveal for Abby to say Gwen knew she was alive, lol.
