applcin, I completely agree with your assessment of the Matt/Maggie/Karen situation. It drove me crazy that Matt never acknowledged his role in the matter while it was going on.

Our friend, amybrickwallace, did it again. She snagged an autograph from Patrick Horgan, who played Dr. John Morrison.

Slick, Joan Fontaine was supposed to appear on The Doctors as part of the anti-smoking campaign but I don't know if that happened since it was so close to the cancellation of the show. This clipping is from October 24, 1982. Tony Randall did appear. His clip was from October 31, 1982.

I don't think Liz was trying to kill herself when she took the serum (or whatever it was) though. She was trying to prove her love to Nick.

Most of the characters on The Doctors are basically good people. Even Karen, although very neurotic, is not evil. Townsend is the closest to a villain but he obviously is mentally ill.

I think Jen Lilley bears a strong physical resemblance to SSH but her voice spoils the effect.

Our friend, amybrickwallace, received some autographed photos and a note from Elizabeth Hubbard. I posted them for her in The Doctors thread.

Thanks amybrickwallace!

Thanks for sharing amybrickwallace!

That was great! When was the last time a soap magazine had a gardening column? Thank you, Carl.

Here's another.

Thanks for posting them - and thanks also for mentioning Sally Gracie's gardening column. You wouldn't happen to have any of them around, would you?

I know I have one or two. I'll try to find them.

Speaking of the David/Valerie kiss, this is from October 1976.

This is the Grant family in December 1975.

Yeah, Pat Falken-Smith was blatantly lying. Who ever heard of an engaged couple not even kissing?!

This is a June 1977 column pertaining to the David/Val and Sharon/Julie stories.

I believe Hugh McPhillips, who was The Doctors' director/associate producer for several years, was an extra in an episode we saw last week (playing the patient in the clinic with a rash).

Hugh McPhillips (in 1972):

The patient in the clinic.

This is Leila Martin (in 1971) who played Valerie Shaw. She mentions The Doctors and it doesn't seem she was the same Valerie who married Mike. The timeframe doesn't seem right.

Incidentally, I believe Robert La Tourneaux was the actor who played Mike immediately preceding Peter Burnell.

"She . . . spent seven months in 'The Doctors,' . . . 'I was a very bad lady, a real witch; they sent me off for a skiing weekend and I was never heard from again. I got terrible mail from religious fanatics saying women like me were destroying the world.'"

That's definitely Gregg.

Speaking of Greta, I don't think this is spoiling too much. Here she is in June 1970, with Matt, Maggie, & her rabbit.

Found this on newspapers.com, from October 1967. Of course, Mark Brooks turned out to be Tommy Horton.

Yes, that Greta voice was creepy. We do see Greta a bit at Nick & Althea's wedding.
