  1. It was the other week when he and Kate were taunting her about taking GabiChic.
  2. Ron now has Jake calling Gabi “chica” and imitating a Spanish accent so I wouldn’t give him too much credit.
  3. The worst thing about NuClaire for me is that she no longer has the confidence and can-do attitude of ORK's Claire. Claire always had goals, even if they weren't good ones. She doesn't even have a job now. I place the blame on Ron for that though.
  4. I think it will be set up to watch “on demand.”
  5. Got the e-mail too and have also been wondering whether the fee will go up. I believe the on-demand shows for the other networks included are currently free. I'm not interested in paying to watch anything else on them. Hoping this will fix the problems the current site has though.
  6. I don't think they would have ever paired Marlena with Don again. The show has tried to make Marlena part of Hope and Kayla's age group, instead of Maggie's and Julie's, for 30 years. And Don (at least Jed Allan) is even older than that.
  7. Fans were NOT happy. Soap fans haven't changed even 60 years. Apparently, some even picketed the local station, lol.
  8. It seems Secret Storm was replaced by a game show in Cincinnati for much of 1962. A tv columnist provided this synopsis for viewers when it was about to resume in November.
  9. Re Secret Storm, Grover Dale played a "narcotics addict," in 1965. Ann Tallon played Nina Di Francisco (not sure the spelling of the last name is correct), character killed off in 1962 (apparently during a struggle with Kip Rysdale, after he had gotten her pregnant).
  10. Thanks for the write-up @beebs. I actually liked Jessica, but yes, she could be a bit prissy. But that made her switch to bitchy Angel when she had DID more entertaining, lol. I had a crush on Stephen Brooks (Joshua) from some prime-time shows I had seen him in, so anything he did on Days was okay with me. I did not enjoy the story with Don/Marlena/Kellam, at all. Didn't like Don being involved in politics. And I LOATHED little Johnny. I was so glad when he was gone!
  11. It isn't Melinda, but Shawn Campbell (Ricky, LIAMST and Billy Aldrich, TD) is in the Norelco commercial. And that might be Shane Nickerson (Billy Fletcher, GL) in the Metropolitan Life ad (the shorter boy, at the beginning).
  12. I love her but it has to be Grayson Hall on Dark Shadows.
  13. @DRW50Thank you! This one is a real rarity.
  14. I think Carol had a "type" back then. She was once involved with Rick Coonce, who was the drummer for The Grass Roots (if you know who they are, lol).
  15. AW 5th anniversary party. From August 1969 Afternoon TV.
  16. I read it the same way you did, lol!
  17. @DRW50That IS Virginia in the commercial. Thanks for tagging me re the video.
  18. I had mentioned in the thread for The Doctors that Retro TV had reached out to Procter & Gamble about acquiring the rights to their soaps. P&G advised that they were no longer licensing their shows. More recently, the person from Retro who was involved in this said that EON was the soap they were interested in acquiring.
  19. Thanks for sharing Marcia's comments @slick jones. She seems like a lovely person.
  20. I agree about KT and PE. I don't know why the writers didn't pursue that relationship instead of sticking Colin with the mousy version of MJ.
  21. Retro has been digitizing the episodes for The Doctors themselves so that shouldn't be an issue. The actors from The Doctors are not getting residuals. Don't know whether shows airing past the 80s would have a different arrangement though. Also, music from the original artists has played in the 60s and 70s episodes, e.g., Simon & Garfunkel, Jimi Hendrix, Nilsson, etc. Even Melba Moore performing "live" on the show wasn't cut.
  22. Not exactly about The Doctors, but the rep for TD/Retro TV said on FB that Procter & Gamble told them that they are no longer licensing their shows. Guess Retro was looking to possibly add more soaps. 😒 Thanks for the clip @DRW50. JP looks better in that than he did during his last few years on The Doctors.
