The second Tom is the one I remember best. I'm not sure how much older he was supposed to be but he did have a son in his early to mid teens.

I believe Tom ended up marrying Mark's mother.

I only watched this show occasionally, but I think the woman bantering with Lt. Donnelly is the mother of the character played by John Karlen. Don't know the name of the actress.

Here's the Ruta Lee interview of Bill & Susan Hayes (Della Reese is interviewed first). http://www.lifestyle.org/article.php?id=159

The interview was filmed at actress Ruta Lee's house. Ruta interviewed Bill & Susan for a show she has on TBN (I believe). Her interview of them is available online at Lifestyle Magazine's website. Are we allowed to link other websites on here? If so, I will link it. And I agree, Bill is amazing! He and Susan just returned from a 3-week trip to Italy with some of their family members. Also, they have completed a novel which an ebook publishing company has purchased. I highly recommend their autobiography. A lot of insight into their lives of course, but also into the ins and outs of show business, and behind the scenes of Days. Susan is very funny, too!

I believe the Amy Hughes from the late 70s/early 80s was the little girl that Natalie Bannon Hughes had by Jay Stalling, not Penny's adopted daughter. That Amy was probably played by Claire Doyle. Carol Stallings adopted Amy when she was married to Jay (or maybe after Jay was killed). Penny's daughter Amy was Asian.

These clips are amazing! This is shortly after I first started watching the show. Of course, I was in junior high so only could watch it during school breaks. John Colenback was my favorite Dan Stewart. This is my favorite style of soap, with realistic character interaction and conversations. I wonder if most of today's audience would appreciate this type of storytelling because since the 80s people have come to expect action-type stories, with actors looks being more valued than their acting ability?

Great find! Love seeing Bob Anderson, & especially Doug at Doug's Place. That looked like Neil Curtis standing at the bar. Thanks for sharing!

That's nice to hear about Ted. You jarred my memory regarding the Jameson Parker/Georgeann Johnson pairing. Not only was there the scandal of their age difference, but they lived together without being married!

LOL, that's understandable! But I knew who Barry was first (and had a crush on him) so I don't have that problem!

I remember watching this show but I'm drawing a blank on the plots. I remember my favorite actors on the show were Jobeth Williams, Ted Danson, Audrey Landers, & Barry Jenner. Barry went on to play Evan on Another World, where he plotted with Olive to murder John Randolph!

Same here. Quint & Nola are second only to Doug & Julie from Days for my affections. I'm sure I would have hated it at the time if either Quint or Nola had been killed off. I would have continued watching as long as they stayed. I returned to GL when they did in the 90s, but their characterizations then were even worse than the mid-80s silliness, especially when Nola started being obsessed with Buzz!

saynotoursoap has a better memory than I do but I am fairly certain that it was Greta Powers who was bitten by the rabbit when she was a child. I thought it was a rabbit that her brother Michael had brought home from the hospital lab. Penny was Althea's daughter. Penny was wrongly accused of murdering Dr. John Morrison (a psychiatrist.

I agree, previously Nola had been quirky and did have a few off-the-wall moments (especially with her friend Gracie)but she had not been slapstick like this. It definitely didn't fit Quint's persona. Still, I think I would have continued to watch them if they had stayed. I gradually started losing interest in the show after they left.

Thanks for posting! I remember some of these stories, and some not. I believe the "strange disease" Ann came down with rendered her unable to have sex! I don't remember Althea being involved with Robert Wilson. Definitely remember John Morrison and Penny going on trial for his murder. He was deliciously evil!

Quint & Nola are my second favorite soap couple ever and I agree that it took away something when Quint's air of mystery was removed. Didn't like it when they moved out of the quirky mansion on Thornway Road and into a house with Henry, Vanessa, & Billy. Nolaerobics was terrible, as was Quint becoming a professor and Quint & Nola taking in that obnoxious boy (I think his name was Jonathan).

We Love Soaps is reporting that James Pritchett has passed away at age 88. I haven't been able to find any more details. Has anyone else read anything?

Yes, I've been enjoying your scans! You have posted some of my favorites already, Judith McConnell, Rita McLaughlin, Eileen Fulton, etc. I appreciate anything you put up. I always seemed to favor the Stewart family. Some of my other favorites are James Douglas & Barbara Rodell (Grant & Lisa Coleman), Lisa Brown (Iva Snyder), Renee Props (Ellie Snyder), Kate McNeil (Karen Haines), and Judith Blazer (Ariel Aldrin).

Well, I remembered her from Another World so I liked her o.k. But I really don't have strong memories of any storyline she had as Dee. I guess JS was hard to follow!

They were making an issue of Dee's weight at that time. That could be why they dressed her that way. I liked Jacqueline Schulz too, as well as Glynnis O'Connor when she played Dee. I guess I just liked Dee, lol! It's too bad her character wasn't continued on the show.

Beau does look a bit like Rex Smith in that picture! I see that Rita McLaughlin's husband was the minister. A bit of typecasting! I remember liking the girl who played this version of Dee.

I think she was trying to swindle Hayley out of her inheritance from her father. I don't remember her being interesting either. A bit insipid, if I'm remembering her correctly.

If I'm not mistaken, the woman with James is Connie Wilson (played by Debbie McLeod). She was the aunt of Hayley (played by Dana Delaney). I think James was having an affair with her & Margo at the same time. She wasn't on the show very long & was killed. I think James bore some responsibility for her death through his criminal activity.

I agree that Melinda Fee didn't really seem like Mary Anderson. I might have liked Stanger's Mary better if she was actually supposed to be a bitch but I don't think she was supposed to be at the time, yet came across as one. Karin Wolfe played Mary in the early 70s. She was playing the role when Mary's mother Phyllis accidentally shot her, thinking she was shooting at Julie. I also remember Carla Borelli playing Mary for a short time, I think right before Stanger took over.

I hadn't heard that Karin Wolfe became a writer.
