Virginia Vestoff should be showing up soon in the reruns of The Doctors on Retro TV. Right now they are in the April 1969 episodes, and with two episodes a day, we're rapidly approaching the end of Liz Hubbard's first stint as Dr. Althea Davis Bellini, at which point Ms. Vestoff took over for about a year. Then Liz Hubbard came back in 1970 and Ms. Vestoff joined DS. What exactly was the arc of VV's character Samantha Collins? I admit I don't know a lot about the last year of DS.

It does sound like a great, campy storyline...with some satire thrown in!!!

Whatever happened to the two actresses who played Nicole after Maeve left?

Thanks for the info about USA. I recently read that Don May was fired in 1977 - all this time I thought he had quit. Why did they let him go? Did Maeve McGuire choose to leave of her own accord later that year, or was she fired, too (and thus her character was de-aged)?

I'd like to read the Liza and Travis wedding bells article if you can find it - also page 108 about Maree Cheatham talking about Stephanie and being sexy!!! Thanks!!!

Since seeing that clip and remembering the original NBC run of the show (I can't believe it's been almost 16 years now since it debuted. Where does the time go?), it seems like so many of the cast, many of whom stayed till the bitter end or pretty close to it - have simply vanished. I know that Justin Hartley recently joined the cast of Y&R, Galen Gehring and Eric Martsolf have been on DAYS the past few years, Eva Tamargo is in the cast of The Haves and Have Nots, and Jesse Metcalfe and Mary Elizabeth Winstead have had some primetime success, but whatever happened to people like Taylor Anne Mountz, Molly Stanton, and even veterans like Dana Sparks, Kim Ulrich, Ben Masters and Rodney Van Johnson?

I don't like the thing with Mike, either (especially with the annoying sax music) - but like the others, I like Nancy when she is working with her patients, consulting with the other members of the staff, and when she was working with Anna. Actually, Nancy Donohue to me looked like Anne Bancroft - and The Graduate still would have been a pretty popular movie back then.

Thanks for posting those. How long did USA air the reruns?

Did anyone else see Christina Chambers play Jaclyn Smith in that NBC-TV movie about Charlie's Angels? It was...interesting.

I've never seen that one before. Thank you!!

Was that the same Barnard Hughes who played Bob's dad on The Bob Newhart Show and the grandpa on Blossom?

That's it!! Thank you so much, robbwolff.

She's held up very well. She's almost 90 - God bless her!!

No, I watch all the scenes myself. Nancy shows up around October 1968.

Yup.

So did I. The best part was Maggie trying to break up the fight by standing in between them with a portable radio playing loud rock music. LOL

Thank you, danfling, for the detailed history. Were that all characters on daytime now were so fleshed out and palatable.

Thanks, guys, for the info.

Why exactly did Lesli Kay leave? Didn't she come back to ATWT at one point, while still appearing on B&B?

Does anyone know which episode is the one where Theresa and Ethan (then played by Travis Schuldt) sang a love ballad together called "Kiss Me" (which was co-penned by Lindsay Korman herself)? This would have been in spring 2000 - sometime in the first half of that year. It was so pretty - and I'd love to hear it again. I've looked on YT but can't seem to find it. Can anyone help? Thanks!!

Thanks! So he went from DS to SS to Somerset to EON to SB? Did I get them all?

Wasn't her character involved with Joel Crothers' character? I don't remember if this was before or after he was on DS.

YRBB, I had such a crush on Maxwell Caulfield from when he was in Grease 2 - so much so that I named a goldfish I won at the fair Maxwell. LOL

Hmmmm. Carl, do you know? saynotoursoap?

Applcin, immature is the understatement of the year for how Mike is acting about Nancy. It HAS gotten a bit more interesting the past few episodes as Matt angrily confronts Nancy about a $75 dollar gift Mike was planning to give her (and Mike actually hit Maggie up for the dough). Then Mike finds out about the confrontation and has an argument with his father that Maggie fruitlessly tries to referee. Nancy gives a ringing slap. These are the episodes that start April 1. About Karen and the wig, with the two primarily female characters/actresses being blond, LL had to disguise her naturally blond locks. On the other hand, Jami Fields (Penny) had to cover her naturally dark hair with a blond wig so she'd look more like her on-screen mom, Liz Hubbard.
