DRW50, in the commercial clip that you posted, that was Kylie Halliday (Lisa Buck) with Jo, in 1978.

Today, is the 50th wedding anniversary of Jo and Tony. September 22, 1972.

Minnix offered the text of the ceremony to Ralph Ellis and Eugenie Hunt who were the headwriters of SFT at the time. They incorporated it into the script.

What is issue of Variety was the Minnix article in? I would like to read it. Could you post it? antmunoz, neiljohnson. Patti mentioned that Chris was in the army and Tracy Ellen was in college and living with her boyfriend.

Bruce Minnix wrote the wedding ceremony for Jo and Tony. He did not play the minister who married them, Norman Rose portrayed the minister. Minnix used the same ceremony for the couples he married as Cape May, NJ mayor from 1972 to 1976.

Thanks will81. I thought that Peggy O'Shea started in January, 1976.

1975: George Reinholt and Jacquie Courtney fired from Another World. Anthony George quit Search for Tomorrow. William Gray Espy left The Young and the Restless.

I remember that scene, just about fell off the couch. As for bed scenes, Jo had some with Tony that were somewhat frisky.

Ann Marcus was the headwriter in June, 1975, when Tony's death scene aired. Peggy O'Shea did not start until 1976.

There are more, just have to dig them out.

George Gaynes was the first recast. Roy Shuman was playing Sam when the character was killed off. Robert Loggia played Tony Vincente while Tony George was recovering from lung surgery in 1973.

Margaret Whitton appeared on Search for Tomorrow using the name of Peggy Whitton. She played Claire Hart in 1971.

Len's twin brother was named Jamie.

Also, Carl Low (Dr. Bob Rogers) appeared as Colonel Hutchinson for an episode.

Just a reminder, Search for Tomorrow premiered 62 years ago today.

On another board the subject of Anthony George's (Tony Vincente) acting has been discussed. What did you think of his acting while he was SFT?

I do not know the exact timeline, but CBS cancelled SFT. And Brian Frons was the exec at CBS who stated that SFT was a "dinosaur." So, he ended up cancelling the show twice!

Marcy was Tony Vincente's first wife. She had money and power which she used to put Tony through medical school. Their marriage was an unhappy one and Marcy faked her paralysis in order to hold on to him. Anne Revere played Agnes Lake who served as the Vincentes' housekeeper as well as Marcy's nurse. One day, Agnes saw Marcy up and walking about the living room. Agnes threatened to tell Tony and Marcy attacked her with a fireplace poker. Once Agnes regained consciousness, she told all to Tony. Tony then divorced Marcy and proposed marriage to Jo Tate. Marcy was played by Jeannie Carson who was born and raised in England, thus her accent.

I have both issues.

Just a reminder, Search premiered 61 years ago today!

It was ten years ago today that Mary Stuart passed away.

In the flashback scenes that Andrea had during the trial featured Hal Linden as Larry Carter, the other man. I remember reading that Hal said he and Joan Copeland taped those scenes during a weekend. The show used the scenes several times after the trial because he got residual checks for several years after he had taped them.

Paul, Kathy's maiden name is mentioned in Robert LaGuardia's books, The Wonderful World of TV Soap Operas and Soap World. Carl, SFT went through a slew of headwriters during the seventies especially 1974. SFT started 1974 with the Ellises, then Theo Apstein, then Gillian Houghton (aka Gabrielle Upton) and Ann Marcus.

Paul, I can't find or remember anything about Kathy's family. Kathy's maiden name was Parker.

Wade was kidnapped because Allen needed money fast to pay off his stockbroker after his wealthy dying wife disinherited him after discovering his affair with Fay. They were going to let Wade go after getting the ransom money from Janet. Wade got loose just before Allen and Fay came in to let him go. A drunken bum came by. Fay shot Wade and the bum in order to keep from getting found out. They tried to set it up so the bum got blamed for the kidnapping and murder. Allen was the coroner and fabricated evidence to show powder burns on victims' hands. Amy Kaslo did the tests on Wade and the bum's hands and did not find powder burns. Allen told Amy that she did not have enough experience to find the burns. Amy, Bruce Carson and Gary Walton became suspicious and investigated further. They found the money in Allen's golf bag and Fay tried to kill Janet before being caught by Gary and the police.
