You're welcome! I have some very brief synopses I'm trying to compile in some order. I noticed that the characters played by Groom and Fitzgerald were mentioned less (if at all) as the series went along. The focus changed to a murder mystery involving the Larsons (David O'Brien and Sandra Smith). I did come across a letter that a viewer wrote complaining about the series ending without resolution to several hanging stories.

I don't remember her from The Secret Storm but I certainly remember her in The Flying Nun and Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.

This was the official explanation for killing off Kathy Holden at the time it occurred.

Thanks for the pictures and the article. I did see some of their story when it aired. Too bad more of it isn't available today.

I have some articles that I'll try to find too.

Tracey Bregman advised that Toni Bua has died.

I read that David Russell based his soap within a movie (Joy) on The Secret Storm. You can tell it in this clip.

This is a 1977 column by Jon-Michael Reed about the David/Valerie and Sharon Duvall stories.

All set! HIDDEN FACES...ANNOUNCER Wayne Morse THE DOCTORS: Nurse Buckley...Never Seen...wanted head nurse position Jim Novak...???...11/18/69...clinic patient, Althea...she didn't remember him Billy Craddock...???...11/20/69...Simon's anemia patient I added some additional soap appearances to the Secret Storm cast list. As I go through each show(The Doctors, LOL,SFT to update them), the new additional shows are in italics...not many for SS, maybe about 20. 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. http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/john-colenback-dead-as-world-802522?utm_source=twitter

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.

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.
