I get the impression Carolee is in her early 30s. She mentioned to Liz about her boyfriend being killed in the Korean War. I'm unclear of Steve's age...maybe around Carolee's age. During one episode, he talked about his brother being killed in World War II.

And I love the candy striper. I want to see more of her. Her facial expressions are hilarious to me. I loved that scene with her and Nick and Althea.

OMG!!! What an amazing treasure trove of information. Fascinating! Thanks for posting this. You rock!!!

Veronica Gayley was another one who raped and murdered. Wasn't Sister Sarah raped, too? Or perhaps it was an attempted rape.

How cool! Was she still referred to as Aileen? Or Estelle? Did she have a British accent? Who played Martin?

Slick, I was thinking the same thing. Carlivati and other soap writers need to watch The Doctors to see what soaps are all about.

I was telling my husband about how riveting The Doctors is. As you said, it's very much an adult show. And it's a show based in reality. It's also very fast paced. I find the stories move quickly with most episodes covering one day of time in the characters' lives.

Pamela Lewis was also on Texas around 1981. Her character's name was Shelley Leigh and I think she was a waitress.

It was around 1983-84 and Ross was running for District Attorney. According to Soap Opera Central, she was a hooker named Karen Jensen.

Joe and Anna were NOT siblings. Joe's sister was Eileen. Anna's brothers were Larry and Vince.

I thought John Wesley Shipp left for pilot season with the understanding that he could return to GL if things didn't pan out. And then when he approached GL in 1984 about returning, he was told by Kobe that they didn't have a need for Kelly. It makes sense since they then had Jim Reardon as their hunky doctor. Of course, Michael Woods would a year later leave for pilot season. As I recollect, Culliton introduced Annabelle Sims in April 1983 and then the story with the mysterious photo actually kicked off in May 1983. I think Pam was head writer when the story actually started. However, in a message to the Another World Home Page, Browne said that Kobe fired her around February/March 1983 and that GL continued to use her bible for the next nine months. However, she also claims that she was credited as head writer during those nine months. Not true. Her name was gone from the credits no later than April 1983.

She was also one of the actresses to play Mary Anderson on Days of our Lives.

I had no idea Edie had been on The Doctors. I remember watching her on NBC 10 when I moved to the Philly area in the mid-90s. She was a well-respected journalist here.

I think it is Estelle Harris. There are other instances of this photo online where it says that it was Hector accompanied by Estelle Harris at some kind of ceremony honoring Sophia Loren. Here's a photo from last year that claims to be Hector with Carolee. http://www.merwinconservancy.org/2013/11/a-poignant-evening-of-film-friends-poetry/hector-and-carolee/

After the debacle that was the fifth-season finale, I gave up on Glee but decided to stick with it till the end. That said, here are some thoughts on the first two episodes: - I like the new kids; they're not retreads of the original cast like Unique, Kitty, Ryder, Jake, and Marley were. That said, I hope we see that group reappear before the end. - That's So Rachel was painful to watch. Very painful to watch. - Why the hell was the computer lab named the Becky Jackson Memorial Computer Lab? When I saw that, I immediately assumed they had killed off Becky. Very odd since the character is still alive. - Sam seems more dim-witted than ever. I don't recall him being this dim in earlier seasons.

Yep. That's definitely Klenck in the video. I remember Tobie from seeing her as Grace Endicott on The Edge of Night in 1982 and she looked nothing like the woman in this scene.

I will private message you some details so as to not spoil folks who haven't seen the episodes. It was never established that Lila Anderson had been in a cult.

I think you're right, Slick! She looked so familiar to me but I couldn't place her. If it's her, I had no idea that Jo had been a redhead.

Just got back from three days in New York City, where I got to see Kinky Boots and Beautiful. One of the stars of Beautiful is none other than Paul Anthony Stewart (ex-Danny Santos). Paul portrays the role of music producer Don Kirshner. He still looks great!

I know! I had no idea about that either. And did you catch Karen's remark about being incestuous?

Out of curiosity, why do you think Erin Torpey would have failed as Courtney?

In the article Carl posted on the Lovers and Friends board, it mentions that Johnny Ryan was almost killed off early in RH's run. Is that true? I've never heard this before. I've always heard it was Frank Ryan that was slated to be killed off.

Wait to you see yesterday's scenes between Karen and Steve where they talk about World War II, Hitler, and the bombing of Berlin. And we learn a very interesting fact about Steve's family.

Yep. Rikki and Brette were there till the end.

I don't recall seeing Campbell on anything after Texas. I recollect her being rather tall with brown hair. Gretchen Randolph wasn't around very long at all…maybe from January through April of 1982 and then she was killed off.
