I was shocked to see how many times Catherine Hickland has been married. All of her husbands have been celebs, except maybe the first one. I didn't realize Kelley Preston had been fired from the series. How long was Shea Farrell on the show ? He couldn't have lasted long since Hotel started in 1983. I only got to see the soaps during the summer or out of school for some reason back then. I never realized he was even on the show.

1979

Wasn't it C. David Colson version that played married to Natalie ? Peter Gallman I think was playing Tom when he first married Carol. PG has a youtube page and said he hoped to find footage of his ATWT days.

Why did they replace Tom Tammi with Justin Deas ?

I never liked Scott Holmes as Tom or Ellen Dolan as Margo. They were boring and annoying. My Favorite Tom & Margo was HBS and GM.

I figured they do. I say there has been a lot of stuff that has been copied before they cracked down on it.

It's Warren Berlinger. He has a whole list of credits for decades, mostly comedy. He is the nephew of Milton Berle.

I wish there was some way we could see that 1979 episode. Anyone willing to to sneak in and make a bootleg ?

Back in the 90's there was a trend for infomercials and Psychic reading ripoffs. The 80's trend was getting fit with Jazzercize, aerobics etc...

Even Vicki Lawrence degraded herself.

I guess after Divorce Court, Superior Court, $ 25,000 Pyramid, Super Password etc....was cancelled by this time, they needed another outlet for some quick cash by appearing in these scam infomercials. Kate Linder doesn't surprise me, she will appear in anything for money (kind of like Florence Henderson).

LOL.......I look forward to your interesting posts and hilarious snarky comments. Don't ever change.

I wish episodes of A New Day In Eden and Loving Freinds and Perfect Couples would surface. You know somebody had to be running a VCR for that back then.

1979 GL bumpers and Search For Tomorrow promo at 13:29

Thanks for the clips. The Hotel promo features James Brolin and Mrs. Brolin #2 Jan Smithers. The Fall Guy promo reminds me that Doug Barr and Heather Thomas would have been great on one of the prime time soaps after FG ended. Shea Farrell from Hotel might have made a good replacement for Al Corley as Steven. Tom Schanley who later appeared in the short term role of Josh on Dynasty could have played Steven as well.

Steve Kanaly was not even 40 when that interview was done and he looks so much older.

Gordon Thomson always had an ivy league educated way of speaking. Like David O'Brien on The Doctors. In the interview it seems like he is becoming a recluse, but still speaks/is friends with his Dynasty co-stars. It also seems he has developed a friendship with Al Corley who he didn't get a chance to work with on the show. He mentions him in the interview and there are several photos of them at events together. I have also seen Al & Jack Coleman together in several photos.

Going back and watching the Dan and Carolee pairing/marriage. I wonder why they decided to make Dan a psycho ? Richard Higgs was a great actor and he could have been used long term on the show. I could have pictured him paired with Althea or Ann. I was sorry to read of his suicide while he was on Love of Life in 1977. He was a tall. In some of his scenes he has to lower his head to enter doors.

I know. Terry was awesome in the role. Jack became neutered with PB.

Kevin Conroy left SFT to join Dynasty and we kind of got side tracked.

Yes Steven did later on briefly. Sammy Jo first hooked up with Bart's brother Clay played by Ted McGinley. He was also seeing Amanda at one point. When she and Steven started living together again, it was a platonic relationship. She then fell in love with that football player, played by Tom Schanley. He died after like 5 episodes of an OD. Steven left the show soon after.

I googled and it said Robert Brian Wilson also played the part. So assume it must have been during the final year of the show. Kevin played Bart Fallmont during the 1985-1986 season of Dynasty. I think the network got nervous with his storyline with Steven and it was ended abruptly. Conroy is best known today for doing the voice of Batman.
