  1. This is from two essays that were printed in Newsday (Suffolk, NY) newspaper in 1973, debating the pros and cons of soap viewing.
  2. I agree about Patrick Horgan. He was always a delight to me. On The Doctors, he often had to talk to himself or a prop, rather than another actor, and he was still fun to watch.
  3. I'm glad he's enjoying doing this story. Interesting that the writers and producers consulted his son. I wonder whether they incorporated anything they learned from him though, lol?
  4. I'm trying to find other roles. She was friends with Lydia Bruce and her husband. Did theater with them and even lived in the same apartment building.
  5. Interview with Bill Hayes re his part in the possession storyline. https://soaphub.com/days-of-our-lives/bill-hayes-loving-killer-lines-being-back-in-the-days-limelight/
  6. @slick jones Re The Doctors, you have a clinic patient named Mrs. Greenway listed for the 6-5-69 episode. She's actually in the 6-6-69 episode, which I watched today. Sounds like Maggie is calling her Mrs. Greenlay, but the closed-caption shows it as Mrs. Greenlee. Anyway, I think the actress might be Esther Benson, who later played mean Nurse Buckley. Here she is as Nurse Buckley.
  7. Felicia Sanders, who played Stella Bellini (Nick’s sister-in-law) on The Doctors in the 70s, was the vocalist on the Percy Faith Orchestra’s, The Song from Moulin Rouge. It went to #1 in 1953.
  8. So sorry to hear about Patrick. He was always one of my favorites. I never forgot his portrayal of John Morrison and I was thrilled to be able to see him again. His wife was so sweet in indulging those of us who were #TeamJohn. From her accounts, he seemed to get a kick out of that, lol.
  9. @Paul RavenI’ve read in various books that the wedding episode itself had the most viewers of any soap episode until Luke and Laura’s wedding smashed all viewing records. Bill Hayes has said that 16 million watched. But I haven’t been able to find info to verify any of that. Do you know whether Nielsen published daily ratings back then?
  10. A few articles re Doug and Julie's first wedding, which aired 45 years ago today.
  11. I don’t know whether the entire story is online anymore but this particular scene is in this clip. Starting around 56 seconds in.
  12. Yes, she did, and Julie started choking her when she showed up at Doug's and Alice's joint funeral, lol.
  13. I think it aired in October 1994. I remember Bill and Susan Hayes mentioning their 20th (real-life) anniversary, which would have been at that time. And it aired at night.
  14. Very sorry about this news. I was wild about Quint and Nola.
  15. It's about time, lol. I remember Jennifer telling us that they did one with Eileen Kearney and Jennifer Houlton together. Hope we get to see that one.
  16. Series of articles from 1969, from The Austin-American, newspaper, with behind-the-scenes info re Love is a Many-Splendored Thing and As the World Turns.
  17. Thanks! I don’t know why I can’t remember that because Joel Crothers was the reason I started watching in the first place.
  18. Well, I saw David Gale on SS first so seeing him as a villain later was a change for me, lol. Ken Stevens died but I can't remember how. Laurie raised his son, Clay. Ken's first wife and mother of Clay had been killed in a plane crash with her new husband shortly before. Ken had gotten Jill and Laurie pregnant at the same time but Laurie's baby died (or she had a miscarriage, can't remember the details).
  19. Haha---yeah, that one's cute.
  20. Some articles re Bryna Laub, who published the Daytime Serial newsletters in the 70s. The articles are from 1973, 1974, and 1975.
  21. @carolinegI loathed Johnny when that story line first aired and still do, lol. I was so glad when he left.
