Slick, did you see that Eileen Kearney said on FB that her brother, Mark, played Simon's anemia patient?

Perfect!   I had to re-watch Mike's scream a few times (because it's one of those "so bad it's good" things).

I accepted Jada Rowland as a recast Carolee because I had liked her on the Secret Storm. But her Carolee wasn't as fun as Carolee Campbell's (albeit for very good reasons).

I thought the same thing about James Shannon. He was especially OTT in yesterday's episode. I thought he was going to yell, "Stella," at one point. He's very good-looking though.

Slick, I think Laurie James Iverson (Marie Thomas) used to sing "No Way' on The Doctors. Could that she be confused with Lori Nelson?

Sad news. John Colenback (Dr. Dan Stewart) has died.

Enjoyed the Jordan Clarke article. It really humanized him. I had no idea about his daughter's death.

Slick, sorry if I overlooked it but I didn't see James Broderick on your list for The Doctors. I found this from

July 7, 1966.

What character did Marcella Martin play on AW?

I'm not sure but she was the real-life mother of Gaye Huston, who was the first Lee Randolph (I think).

ETA: From July 1966.

Ad from July 28, 1974, newspaper.

From a June 1967 newsclipping. L to R: Joe Gallison; Bud Kloss (Associate Producer); Beverly Penberthy; Geoffrey Lumb; Val Dufour; Marcella Martin; Michael Ryan; and Carol Roux.

Based on the radio actors I'm familiar with I don't think that happened either. However, Irna was still promoting that idea---from July 1938.

I do vaguely remember Carol Roux. Missy and Bill were a very popular couple. I had a co-worker who was named Melissa after Carol's character.

This article is also from May 1965.

I know! It was on in the afternoon most places. I remember watching it after school before "Where the Action Is," came on.

From May 5, 1965.

Another from 1976:

Left a page off of the last article.

From 1976:

I was watching then so I do remember her! The details of the story are a bit fuzzy though.

Elizabeth Harrower was also once a Days headwriter.

FYI, Bill Hayes will be 90 years old on Friday (June 5). From the early 70s.
