Not too long after Lee and Gail were off the show for a while. That's when Susan Brown appeared as Janet Laine, Tori's mother on Santa Barbara. Then she appeared sporadically as Adelaide Fitzgibbons on ATWT. Ames was hardly used, which surprised me. In the early 80s, older characters were used frequently by Monty, especially during Luke/Laura years. I think as they shifted to the Frisco/Anna years they struggled to find story for Steve and Audrey until they (wisely) brought Tommy back to the canvas. Even then, they didn't use her enough until WR and CL came along. Ames's acting during the Ryan Chamberlain story was fantastic. I was glad PC used her in it's early years as well. I miss her, and I know she may not be in the best of health, but I wish we could see her onscreen again, if only for a few moments.

Marla Adams, currently the divine diva, Dina Abbott Mergeron has had quite an illustrious career in daytime. From her role as Belle Clemens Keefer Britton Kincaed on Secret Storm, to her other roles which include Capitol's Myrna Clegg,B&B's Beth Logan, GH's Mildred Deal ( a hit woman). Generations' Helen Mullen,and Days of Our Lives Dr. Claire McIntyre. My partner in GH cast list research ( @depboy) has found another role she played. In 1978 she apparently played David Hamilton's nosy neighbor during Dr. Lesley Webber's trial. He found the mention in DTV November 1978. @depboy :Classic SOD GH synopses Tumblr posted in May 2015 from Digest's October '78 issue mentions a "Miss O'Brien" taking the witness stand in Lesley's trial. Anyone know of any other daytime roles Ms. Adams played?

Kyra Sedgewick Jonna Lee Faith Ford Jonna Lee was hired and fired in less than a month. Nowadays she'd be onscreen for a year before they would replace her <coughs> Viv Jovanni <coughs> from the AWHP: Portrayers: Kyra Sedgwick, January 15, 1982 - June 1983.Janna Leigh (AKA Jonna Lee), June 6, 1983 - June 1983.Faith Ford, June 1983 - August 13, 1984. I love when actors look fondly on their soap past.

THE DOCTORS B artender...1974... Richard Sanders AKA Les Nessman WKRP in Cincinnati also known for Berrengers and KL roles

Millette Alexander' temporary replacement as Maggie Powers (then Fielding) took place in mid-July, 1964. She filled in for Ann Williams, who had strep throat.

THE DOCTORS MORE 1974... Carol...the closed captioner, has confirmed some info Dr. Lantz is indeed the German doctor portrayed by David Hurst. The Hotel Clerk is played by Frank Carey. Nellie Merritt is portrayed by Sally Demay. There is an Interior Decorator named Mr. Fletcher. Actor Unknown so far. Millette Alexander temporarily replaced Ann Williams as Maggie Fielding in July, 1964 when Williams had strep throat. @jam6242 found this in a July 19, 1964 Louisville Kentucky Courier-Journal.

I don't see the purpose either. After Big Bang ends, but not now...
