That’s little Hope in the sailor hat, not Shawn.  He wasn’t “born” yet.

Her mom is Anne Schoettle.

I do remember reading something about a fire destroying some of Days episodes, but didn't know it was from that early in the run.  That must be the reason the 1966 episodes that have popped up seem to be taken from Kinescopes.  I don't see why that's a huge problem in the long run though. 

Thanks @slick jones!

So sorry to read the sad news about Rita.  She was one of my favorites when I first started watching ATWT.

Love how the script is so detailed, even down to what was on the plate.

I feel bad for the people who answer the phones at all the affiliates.  You know they will still be getting calls on Monday, lol.

Original cast member.  He played Dr. Jerry Chandler.  He’s in the premiere episode that is on the streaming service.

For me, Nick got worse as the years went on.  He was best under Rita Lakin.  However, he was and still is very popular.  Just not my taste.

Thank you so much for finding all of this and sharing it with us @jam6242 I wish we were in a world where these shows were readily available, but this is nearly as good.

I found quite a few synopses I'm putting together.  I was more interested in those than any current soap I'm watching.  It was apparently a popular show but kept getting moved around to different time-slots and networks.  Won several fan-voted awards.  Even saw a blurb that some fans contacted the FCC to complain about the moves and they were writing to newspapers several years after it last aired to ask when it was returning.  Some things never change, lol.

Also, Paramount did a film short featuring the show to demonstrate how radio programs were made.  Was hoping to at least find that but didn't have any luck.

@DRW50@slick jonesI found that Helen Wood was on a radio serial, Those We Love, starting in 1938.  She seemed to be with the show until it ended, I think in 1944.  I found some articles but the website is acting up tonight.  I managed to download this picture. I’ll put the others in the Radio thread when I can access them.

 

Helen also played Marie Valdes on "Those We Love," in the first few months of the show in 1938.  Jay Novello played her husband, Rico Valdes.

FROM THE VAULT: EPISODE # 3345: FEBRUARY 1, 1979

At David's Apartment, Stephanie covers her slip of calling Trish by name by saying she recognized Trish from her picture. Stephanie tells Trish she understand her marriage to David was one of convenience, and so she won't mind now that Stephanie and David are in love and want to get married as soon as David gets the divorce. This information saddens Trish.

At Marlena's Gatehouse, Samantha surprises and delights Marlena with her unexpected arrival. When Samantha brings Jerry Rhinehart in, Marlena is somewhat cool towards him. Jerry explains to Marlena that he was just doing his job in the custody case, and he's sorry about the Hortons. Marlena's attitude softens and she apologizes for her previous coolness. Marlena and Samantha fill one another in on what's been happening to them. As Marlena goes out of the room, Don enters and thinks Samantha is Marlena. Samantha goes along with it, teasing him when he doesn't approve of her short hair. When Marlena reenters, and starts giggling behind him, Don realizes he's been had. When Marlena comments to Don about how well Samantha seems to be doing, he says he can't help remembering what she did to them in the past, and he doubts if he will ever be able to forget. Marlena defends Samantha by saying that she was really sick then, and she doubts if Samantha will flip out again as long as she stays away from drugs and alcohol.

At Mary's Studio, Chris and Mary are discussing the fact that Chris and Bob have resolved the mess with Chuck Merrill finally. Chris mentions how strange it was that Stephanie knew about the forged contract, and then they dismiss it. Mary tells Chris she went to see Linda and while Bill explained Mary's conversation with Melissa, Mary still doesn't believe the amnesia bit. Mary, in a pensive mood, tells Chris she really doesn't know him, he's always been silent about the women he's been in love with. Chris mentions he was in Vietnam, but the experience was so painful, he doesn't want to think about it.

At Julie's Apartment, Hope comments to Doug and Julie on how nice it is for the three of them to be together for a change. After Hope leaves the room, Julie tells Doug how conscientious Steve has been in making amends for the fake antique boxes. They're in such a mellow mood that Doug decides not to go to work. Julie and Doug are cuddling on the couch, during a rare evening together, and Julie tells him she'd like to start a family and have a baby.

I think these scenes are from this episode.  Quality of the video isn’t great.

It was mainly mentioned in passing as part of her credits alongside the Ed Sullivan Show appearances and her dancing, so probably around the late '40s or early-mid '50s (she went to Hollywood for a while in the early '50s so not that point)

Thanks, at least that narrows it down.  Haven't had any luck so far though.

@DRW50Do you know whether that was from early in Helen Woods' career, or later? 

@slick jonesNot much luck with TD except for a few additional synopses.

Oct 4, 1963:  "Child provides explanation for Charles Gray's mysterious death.

Also found this article that says Humphrey Davis was going to appear on the Sep 30 episode.  Seems they would have mentioned if he was going to be in additional episodes.

June 22, 1964: "Margaret Sharp's husband (she's the one who has asthma) Andy comes to the hospital."

June 23: "Andy tells Dr. Powers how he is affected by his wife's asthma." 

June 24: "Andy and Harriet have a serious conversation." 

June 25:  "Harriet tells (doesn't say whom she tells) outcome of her hospital stay."

I didn't like Susan Oliver's Laura, even though I had liked her on other shows.  I read somewhere that Tina Sloan was considered when Laura was being recast.

@victoria foxtonThanks again!
