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.

Monika, thanks for sharing the notes from Beverly. She was another favorite from my younger days. I was really spoiled by the soap actresses/actors I watched when I was growing up.

Thanks for sharing the photos! I'll never forget that storyline concerning the Bachmann's and Dave's death.

Keep a close watch of the extras/bit players in the episodes that aired today at noon. There are two future soap stars appearing, one in each episode (one is quickly recognizable).

I believe Linda Grover was the writer. At least she was as of this July 1978 article. The anniversary was April 1 so I don't know if the celebration was delayed or there was just a lag time in writing about it.

They didn't specifically say anything about future episodes on Retro TV but I did let them know I was enjoying the show on Retro. I had sent an e-mail to Retro last week but received a canned response that others have also received.

I sent a message to SFM Entertainment, which is the distributor for "The Doctors,' telling them I was enjoying the show and asking about possible DVD release, including the episodes that we haven't seen. The response was very positive (I had mentioned that fans had been in contact with various cast members via social media so that's why he asked me for contact information). Jane: Thank you for your most articulate and complimentary note. We are so pleased that you are enjoying "THE DOCTORS", as it took a great deal of time, efforts and persistence to return this iconic series to television. The outpouring of favorable audience reaction has been remarkable. You help to make all our efforts worthwhile. I have shared it with the people at RetroTV, who,also, saw the merits of returning this iconic series to today's television audience. Yes, there are plans to issue these shows on DVD and, once that is put in place, we would plan on adding some of the materials you refer to in your note. That will include earlier episodes and interviews, provided we can locate the 'still living' talent. If you have some contact information from various cast members, please forward to me here at SFM. Stay tuned! All the best. Stanley Moger President SFM Entertainment LLC

I don't dislike Nancy but I think she and Mike are a huge mismatch. Nancy Donohue reminds me of a young Diana Muldaur.

Yes, their characters were married at one time. JC was on SS after he left DS. I only started watching SS after reading in 16 Magazine that he was on it.

When Matt and Maggie became regulars on the show, Matt was a widower and Maggie was married to her first husband, Alec Fielding. Fielding died and she then married Kurt Van Alen (who was Greta's father). From what I have gathered, Matt and Maggie were attracted to each other over that time but circumstances kept stopping them from getting together.

Thanks Slick, that was an interesting behind-the-scenes article. I guess Days never did hire that "historian" the article mentioned.

I believe that is Valerie Mahaffey. Great find!

She was still there when Laura became pregnant with Jennifer but Susan Oliver was playing Laura when Jennifer was born.

C.C. Courtney (Jody Lee) sang one of his own songs during today's second episode---"If You Let Me Make Love to You (Then Why Can't I Touch You)," which was a hit for Ronnie Dyson in the early 70s. The song was in an off-Broadway musical called "Salvation," which he wrote with Peter Link, who played Tom Hughes on "As the World Turns." Here's an interview with the two of them.

Thanks for the Barbara Rodell interview! She's one of my favorite soap actresses. Ironic that she's talking about "dying" on "Another World," because her character on "Secret Storm" also died.
