It's been a long time but I don't think Jennifer returned to Springfield. She had been written out during the Gene Palumbo/L. Virginia Browne period (winter 1983). I believe she phoned Amanda in August 1983 wanting Matthew back. Amanda and Matthew then left Springfield to join Jennifer.

I think he did shows there. I vaguely recall a bartender or patron mocking him.

Eliot was on The Edge of Night beyond the cult storyline. He arrived in the fall of 1978 with the cult. He then moved onto romances with Raven, Margo, and Nola. Kelly arrived in May 1980. Kelly then took a job working with his puppets at Eliot's club The Unicorn. Eliot pursued Nicole's sister Jody and propositioned her sexually a few times, much to Kelly's ire. Eliot was murdered in October 1980 and Kelly was the main suspect in the murder.

There was, indeed, a montage in the first Peapack episode, albeit it was at the end of the show. It featured a series of clips, including a football game with the Coopers, Remy doing sit-ups (I think), Rick in jail, Reva, Jeffrey, Cassie, and Josh outside the lighthouse (which was suddenly in the middle of the woods). It was all set to the new theme song. The first Peapack episode was a vast improvement of the trial December 2007 episode where characters supposedly got locked in the Springfield Mall. That episode was disastrous.

It actually does happen in real life. I've known a handful of people -- including family -- who changed their first names in adulthood.

No. It means they showed only around 4 1/2 months of episodes since each hour-long episode was split into two half-hour episodes. If I remember correctly, TBS started with the Alex Marshall shooting, which took place sometime in November 1980. So TBS' run took the show probably through around sometime in March 1981.

Burke Moses was in this week's episode of Castle Rock on Hulu. Moses played Curtis Alden on Loving and Bulge on One Life to Live, among other shows.

Nowhere did I say I was a fan of Curlee. In fact, I wasn't watching regularly at that time. I'm not trying to argue; just genuinely curious about how one can determine what was her material and what was the material of her co-head writers.

I'm curious. How can you determine what was Curlee's material and what was the material of her co-head writers (Reilly and Demorest)?

According to the Edge homepage, Mary Lynn Johnson played Viva and Peter Webster played Pietro.

The whole story, although it started off with much promise, was a bust. I recall it being the only story that made me consider giving up Edge. What disappointed me was the emphasis given to such a weak actor like Mark Andrews in the role of Chad Sutherland. His performances were difficult to watch. Meanwhile, the two most interesting new characters in the story - Viva and Pietro -- were quickly killed off. It was a shame was both actors were very good in their roles. What other members of Jody's family could we have met?

And some hold onto them and trade them with other people.

From the blurbs I read about the book, she claims to have learned about his supposed affairs after he contacted her from beyond the grave via her dreams.

Was just reading that Tom O'Rourke's widow has written a new book about her husband titled Bedeviled. Apparently, it's a tell-all about Tom and his purported years of extramarital affairs. The book description says he confessed all of his affairs to her years after his death through dreams. Her description of the book says he had a divided soul: one in heaven, one in hell. Very strange.

Paul was supposed to move to Europe to live with his grandmother; Andy to go to military school.

About a decade ago, Tom Casiello had a blog that looked at Marland's bible. His bible only referenced two new characters: Doug Cummings and Clem Holden. He discussed writing out Maggie, Frank, Jay, Heather Dalton, and Cal Randolph, all of whom were written out. He also discussed writing out Paul and Andy.

Not from what I've read. One of the last head writers, Barbara Morgenroth, indicated on social media that she knew the show's days were numbered. Throughout 1982, there were rumors that NBC was cancelling The Doctors, Texas, and later Search for Tomorrow (which moved to NBC in March 1982). I even recall Entertainment Tonight announcing in early 1982 (around March/April) that NBC had cancelled Texas.. The next day, they announced that Texas would continue but move to the 11:00 a.m. time slot.

Nancy Sorel, who was Monique on Generations and Coco on One Life to Live, has a very brief role in the new Netflix movie, How it Ends.

The clicking sound was not a pen. The sound was made from the locket Gwynth wore around her neck. The sound was made from her opening and closing the locket. At some point, Gwyn had given Trisha the locket. She returned it to Gwynth when she returned to Corinth. In the scene I'm posting below, you can see Gwynth holding the locket in her hand:

Carolee last aired in late February/early March 1976. According to someone who saw a Doctors episode at the Paley Center, Carolee was still in the credits as of early summer. What I find interesting is that Jennifer Houlton (Greta) isn't credited. She used to be but no longer appears in the list.

And toward the end, Steve got a half-brother and sister-in-law. I believe there were plans to introduce their children. Stephanie was also aged toward the end. Anne Rose Brooks played Stephanie in the final year after finishing up a stint as Diana Frame on Another World. Ian Ziering of 90210 and Sharknado fame portrayed Erich. Mark Andrews also played Erich after wrapping up his role as Chad Sutherland on The Edge of Night.

He didn't head write GL. So either he misremembered or the interview was confused. Lemay returned to Another World in 1988. I believe the story goes that he was rehired and then the writer's strike hit. Donna Swajeski wrote the show during the strike. After the strike was over, Lemay was credited as head writer for about two months when Swajeski replaced him. There is much speculation that Swajeski used much of Lemay's bible during her first year. That said, Swajeski's stint was better than previous writers but disappointing in many respects. I often felt that she started out strong with her story ideas but the resolutions were disappointing and anticlimactic.

What's odd is that someone recently ran what he purported to be an interview with Lemay that many, myself included, found suspect. Perhaps it was legit and Lemay simply forgot facts, but I'm not so sure. In the interview, Lemay claimed he had been head writer of Guiding Light in the early 80s and then went on to say he was The Doctors' final head writer. He was head writer for about six months -- till mid-1982.

This newspaper article was posted on my hometown's Facebook page. It covered the taping of April Scott's car accident on "The Edge of Night" in East Brunswick, New Jersey. Some years later, an autographed copy of Edge's final script was auctioned off at my old elementary school. As I understand it, one of Edge's personnel (maybe a director) lived in East Brunswick. Have never attached images here before, so fingers are crossed this works!
