I vaguely recall Landers' Heather Kane on Somerset singing. And just a correction to some posts above. The actor's name was Keith Charles, not Nick Charles.

Three major things: Clone Reva (aka Cleva) The Santos family and the mob The Princes of San Cristobel It was the mob and that damn island that may be tune out for good in the summer of 1999.

Actually, Steve did talk about his brother, but it wasn't Jason. There was a scene in 1968 where Steve and Karen began talking about war. Steve mentioned then that he had an older brother who was killed during the bombing of Berlin if I recall correctly.

No, it's not just you. I'm still catching up but cringed during some of his performances the other day. He seems so out of place in juxtaposition to the other actors' styles. I hope Nancy runs off with Shana and leaves bellowing Paul and petulant Mike in the dust.

Mike is working my nerves lately. Grow up, junior!

It was around February 1984 when SOD announced it. The story about Donna and the men's club was the only one I recall. According to the Another World Home Page, she wrote for the show from 1984 to 1985 during the Gary Tomlin/RIchard Culliton era.

Anyone have the scoop on Linda Elstad, who wrote for Another World in the mid-80s? I remember Soap Opera Digest announcing in early 1984 that Elstad had been appointed head writer. Elstad previewed her plans a bit in Soap Opera Digest. I recall her saying that one of her big stories involved Donna Love who was going to cause a commotion by joining some kind of an all-men's club in Bay City. That story never materialized, and Elstad never became head writer.

Actually, a lot of websites (including IMDB and a memorial page for Isabel) say that they were cousins, not sisters. There are also references to her being the youngest child and the only one to survive infancy.

Ah, thanks. I couldn't place her at all. I do remember that scene between her and Ed now that you mention it.

Do you know which one is Ginny Martin? Greta Rae is the actress. Interestingly, another Nurse Martin showed up in this week's credits (played by Mimi Cozzens).

The black doctor is Simon Harris, I believe, and his arrival is imminent…his name appeared in the credit crawl on one of Friday's episodes. I don't mind the background actors not having lines and I'm sure it was because of budgetary reasons -- lines meant they got paid more money. Each of them does a great job with their facial expressions. I love Nurse Wheeler's looks of disgust at times when Nick opens his mouth. I think this continues for a few more years. I remember seeing an article posted online called "The Silent Ones" and it profiled some of the background actors, including Dorothy Butts.

According to Sharon, what she's posting are 10 hours of edited scenes from the Raven/Jefferson Brown storyline. Edge's editor gave this to her as a present when Edge ended its run in '84. So it's very possible that the scenes are not necessarily on other channels since the editor had access to a comprehensive library of episodes. Yes, that's Laurinda Barrett.

The slap was awesome!!! I think it was real, too. Jami Fields was prepared for it as she blinked her eyes right before the moment of impact.

You're in for a treat with today's episodes! All hell's breaking loose at Althea and Nick's and Hope Memorial. And a future primetime soap star shows up as a police officer. Riveting and edge of your seat drama!

My personal feeling is that either CBS or P&G didn't want him around and didn't want the Bauers to be prominent. So many of the Bauers who were axed in 1983-84 (Hope, Hillary, and Mike) had plenty of story left in them yet they were pushed aside. At least we saw Mike for a few episodes in 1997. We never saw Hope after her abrupt departure in late 1983. Their de-emphasis reminded me very much of what Another World did with the Matthews family.

I saw Helen in the play 2 Lives at the George Street Playhouse in New Jersey about 10 years ago. She was amazing and garnered rave reviews for her performance. She riveting as a grieving mother and brought a number of audience members to tears with her performance.

No! No! No! No! I thought we were done with him.

Turco was equally dull as Dinah on Guiding Light. Turco was equally dull as Dinah on Guiding Light.

Possibly Linda Grover. There's a July 1978 episode of The Doctors on YouTube. The credit crawl lists Grover along with Elizabeth Levin. Elizabeth was/is married to Michael Levin, who played Jack Fenelli on Ryan's Hope.

I never really got the creepy vibes from the second incarnation of Gunther, and was never repulsed by him. It was the first Gunther and his evil ways that repulsed me.

That scene with Martha was brilliant and terribly funny. I was cracking up, too. I loved her singing with Mike, too.

I've seen a couple sources online that say he was there from July 1982 to June 1983. I tend to doubt that since he left Edge in May 1983.

Not really. Unlike GL with that God-awful island, I don't recall Edge actually taking us to Eden. And I don't think it had anything to do with disliking royalty stories. The story just wasn't interesting or compelling. It started off with potential, but then fell apart and was boring as can be. The actors who played Pietro and Viva, who kidnapped Jody, were very good but both got killed off. A major part of the problem was the very weak actor (Mark Andrews) that they cast as Chad Sutherland, who was critical to the story. He was painful to watch, drug the story down, and had no chemistry with Lori Loughlin's Jody. It just got worse as time went on with Edge using stock footage of a renaissance faire as the story played out to its conclusion. I lost interest and nearly gave up on Edge but watched the story play out to its absurd (Jody getting shot with a crossbow) yet boring conclusion. Thankfully, Chad was shipped back to Eden and Andrews was dropped from the cast.

Thanks for sharing these! Seeing these brought back a lot of memories. I haven't heard "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do" in many years so it was a treat to hear it again. Plus, the clips brought back memories of my late aunt Mary. She was an amazing lady who worked with Rupert Ravens' (Danny) father at the Rutgers Medical Center back in the early 80s. Truly, thank you so much.

Willie was there for about 13 weeks. Robbie managed the Video Disco and created problems for Jody and Preacher. I grew up in East Brunswick, NJ, which is where EON executive producer Erwin Nicholson lived. I recall my elementary school had an auction in 1985. I found out about it after the fact and was so disappointed: an autographed copy of the final script was one of the auction items. Nicholson taped scenes in East Brunswick in 1978…April's car accident was filmed there.
