I didn't know about the Lee/Irna connection either.

From April 1951. The storyline sounds very similar to the one Bill Bell wrote for Susan Martin on Days of Our Lives (absent the fans being the jury). Did he ever write for the radio version of GL?

Re Brenda, I believe SSH said the issue went way back to when they were young; something regarding a man, if I'm recalling correctly. Re Charlotte Ross, she didn't mention her by name, but she indicated that a blonde ingenue had a vicious tongue in real life too. Re Kaye Stevens:

Retro put the "Where Are They Now," special on Vimeo. Supposed to be more to come later. https://vimeo.com/410663920

Yes, it can be viewed on a computer. I even watch it sometimes on my ipad, without an app.

They're supposed to be airing the very first episode from 1963 on that day too.

From 1941.

The latest from Retro. The good news is the recent cast interviews will be shown later this month. The bad news is they're going to have to stop airing the 1979 episodes temporarily (and will re-air the 1967 episodes).

So far, only Roku and Android have been released. But, Retro said previously that it's going to also be available via iOS and Amazon Fire.

FYI, if you're subscribed to watchthedoctors.com, you can find the 70s episodes by searching for the year, e.g., /70, /71 . . . Click on Trending or Popular before the search. They've uploaded to August 1979, which is just a few months behind what is airing on Retro TV.

It’s very basic right now. I want to see the interviews too. I think they tried doing too much at once. At least the free streaming worked today, and it was the same episode that aired on Retro. Also hope that it will be available on-demand because the time for the live-stream isn’t convenient for most people.

FYI. Not sure this will be the 1979 epis that have currently been airing on Retro. A few days ago they had tried to back away from their earlier statement that they were going to livestream. This is a different time than the tv broadcast usually airs.

I read on FB that Audrey Peters died last summer. Her son posted about it on his page at the time.

Maybe Toni (Anna Stuart) and Alan (Gil Gerard), though they would seem fairly tame to modern viewers.

Daily TV Serials printed some letters it received re the Val/David story. Even the few that were fit to print took me aback. Some were positive too though.

I think she and Julie's father were gone by the end of 1965. Addie returned in 1971 after Ben died (off-screen). Doug and Julie were in the midst of their affair but few people knew about it. Addie hired a private detective to investigate Doug. Then she fell for him herself.

The free livestream of Retro TV is now up and I'm not having any streaming issues with that. The 1979 episodes air at noon Eastern Time, Mon.-Fri. The 1969 episodes air on Sat., at 3-4 pm Eastern Time, and the 1974 episodes air on Sunday, 1-3 pm Eastern Time. https://www.myretrotv.com/watch

The Retro rep posts and answers questions on Daytime Royalty in The Doctors thread, if anyone wants to contact her.

If you go to My Account on the website, there is a section at the bottom for customer service where you can report this too.

If you have Roku, the app is now available. Search "Watch the Doctors" in the channel store. However, I'm having the same buffering issues that are a problem on the website. I've told the person from Retro who has been updating us on Facebook. She implied it was an internet speed issue but I have no issues with any other streaming services that I have. I told her that others are having the same problem. She said she will pass the info to the technical people.

For what it's worth, the website is just a preview right now. It's supposed to be fully functional on this Thursday (Feb. 27). Hoping it will work better at that time. I've been told that Retro is aware of the buffering issue.

One of the first records I had as a child was the 45 of "Quentin's Theme." "#1 at the Blue Whale," was on the B side.

I didn't find him particularly interesting. The only memory that stands out is when he beat up Eric when he thought he had raped Susan. You can see a bit of him here, starting around 2:36, from 1976.

Composer Bob Cobert has died.

@Brolden There would not have been an NCAA basketball pre-emption in 1956. The tournament was held in March and the show premiered in April.
