Susan has said that she wasn't happy during the time her mother was writing the show.  Said everyone was coming to her if they had issues with the writing, and then Bill would complain at home.  She mentioned last year that she had to have therapy for it, and the show paid for it.

Re Rosemary Forsyth, I did like her, much better than I did Susan Oliver anyway.  Still, she wasn't as strong a presence as Susan Flannery, who will always be "real" Laura to me.

Here is some of the CT Scan Revue.

Did anyone see the chat? Thoughts?

I enjoyed it.  I did wonder why they kept panning to Roger Davis, even when he wasn't talking.  Was that some kind of joke because of his reputation as a screen-hog, lol?  Roger seemed to spill some tea about Don Briscoe being "in love" with David Henesy's mother.

Dark Shadows virtual reunion on Saturday.  KLS posted on FB today that David Henesy will be joining them too!

When was Mike sorased? The Daytime Serial recaps say Uncle Bill's helping him with chemistry experiments in early 1973 . September 1973 describes him as a teen. November 1973 says he's in college.

 

MIKE WAS BORN IN NOVEMBER 1968.

 

I knew the sorasing was really bad, but this is even more insane than I thought, especially since it's under Bill Bell.

Stuart Lee was playing Mike when Mickey had his heart attack in 1973.  Stuart was reportedly 15 at that time.

Jada talked a bit about The Secret Storm during the Locher Room reunion for The Doctors.  She said that when Joan Crawford filled in for Christina, no other female cast members were allowed to be present.

Oh yeah I saw that as I was watching the last 25 minutes or so, lol.

I think that maybe Liz might be used to being in a three person discussion. More than that, perhaps her attention drifts a little.

@victoria foxton

She was also drinking wine, lol.

She would get annoyed when she thought people weren't talking about The Doctors (even when they were), lol.  I enjoyed it.

This is actually smart. And they can probably film all his scenes in one day

Have Bill & Susan Hayes been on Days since the post shutdown episodes began airing?

No, but Doug and Julie were in a spoiler for next week and SOD has a photo of them hugging in the pub.  Not sure when the scene was taped though. 

@dc11786 is correct re Barry vs. Barney (and now I'm thinking about Bunny Lake, lol).  Found these brief synopses from 1957:

Barney Lake delivers a warning.

Barney Lake offers Lenore Bradley some free ammunition for a "battle of the sexes."

Barney Lake reveals the source of his bitterness.

Oh, wow.  Althea is an unusual name so that really is a huge coincidence.  Now I’m curious.

@amybrickwallace Did you hear EH mutter to herself, "oh, that guy," when Anna mentioned Allen Potter?  I'd love to hear more about that, lol.

I know!  I wonder who did the baby's "coo," lol?

On Joyce Jordan, her character was named Ellen Harris.

Despite the glitches,  I enjoyed the stories they were telling.  A couple of them were quite funny.  I was not surprised to hear that Gil Gerard was not pleasant to work with, lol.  Nice to hear the opposite was true of Armand Assante.  Sounds like TD was a great working experience for everyone.

And I don't know how it's possible that Frank Telfer is 76 years old!

I thought I recognized that name and then I thought, surely not, lol!

Thanks so much for that! That's all kinds of awesome! In regards to the the Norma Greenman story on The Guiding Light, I love how, basically, her jealousy gets operated on.I love the 40s! 

I was wondering what sort of operation she had.  I was thinking lobotomy at first, lol.

Ads from the 1940s.
