When was that from? I can't make out a date on the magazine cover.

I think YUCK is a major understatement!! *shudders*

That really was a great cover photo. Was that Jacquie's last cover/feature as Alice?

Very cool find!!

Wow, is Dr. Steve the ultimate cad or what??? In addition to seeing Paul Michael Glaser aka "Starsky the Orderly" behind the nurses' station at the beginning of episode 2, wasn't that him as one half of a dancing couple in the restaurant towards the end of the episode? As for episode 1 - I'll buy a clue for Dr. Matt Powers for $800, Alex. Poor Maggie.

Thanks! That should narrow it down quite a bit.

That's right. I don't know how many of you get Family Net on your cable systems, but among the shows they rerun daily is CA. Just a week or two ago an episode featured two more beloved soap vets, Linda Dano and Nicolas Coster!

Thank you. What year was the wedding? Maybe I can look it up on YT and check.

BWAHAHAHAHA!!! Yvonna Wright (formerly of DAYS and GL) guest-starred on SVU as a doctor in the most recently aired episode (11/5).

Thank you both!! All that happened before I was born, so I wasn't sure. All the recasts and all the alliteration (Lauralee, Leslie, Lance and Lucas) didn't make it any less confusing. LOL

Hmmm...I don't remember them.

Question - when Leslie became pregnant by Lance, were they still being played by Janice Lynde and John McCook, or had Victoria Mallory and Dennis Cole taken over by then? Did Victoria's Leslie ever cross paths with Brad before he was written off the canvas?

Yes, and I never heard any stories about fans harassing him for Roger's many evil deeds out in public, etc.

OK, thanks! It seems he did quite a bit of soap work after LOL folded, but no role as high profile as Bruce Sterling. Were he and Audrey ever on GL at the same time?

That was Hector Elizondo?? I knew the waiter looked familiar!! Too bad the waiter and a certain female Hope Memorial employee didn't share any scenes together... The Kooky Kraut - I like that name. Of course, Karen the Kooky Kraut could sashay into Matt's office wearing lingerie and say, "take me, I'm yours" and he still wouldn't get it. Bethel Leslie had an incredible and impeccable way of conveying disgust without having to utter a word. The way she gives Karen the evil eye without being completely obvious is just priceless.

Thank you!

You're in for some real treats!!

Thank you, DramatistDreamer and Mitch. I've never watched Oz, so I didn't know about his role on that show. I do know that quite a few actors have been on Oz and L&O shows, either as leads or as guest stars. Has anyone else seen Dance 'Til Dawn? Extremely cheesy and TOTALLY 80s, but it is still a must-see!! How can you go wrong when your cast is made up of: Teens: Christina Applegate as Patrice Johnson Alyssa Milano as Shelley Sheridan Brian Bloom as Kevin McCrea Tracey Gold as Angela Strull Chris Young as Dan Lefcourt Tempestt Bledsoe as Margaret Matthew Perry as Roger Parents: Alan Thicke as Jack Lefcourt Kelsey Grammer as Ed Strull Edie McClurg as Ruth Strull Cliff De Young as Larry Johnson Mary Frann as Nancy Johnson Others: Lewis Arquette as Pawnshop Owner

Here is an awesome tribute article to James Pritchett from 2011, featuring an interview with his real-life wife: http://www.mlive.com/news/kalamazoo/index.ssf/2011/04/james_pritchett_actor_on_nbc_d.html James Pritchett, actor on NBC daytime soap opera 'The Doctors,' met wife at Barn Theatre By Dave Person | Kalamazoo Gazette Follow on Twitter on April 01, 2011 at 4:00 PM NEW YORK — Not only was Augusta’s Barn Theatre an ear­ly venue for James Pritchett to display his acting talent, but it also was where he met his fu­ture wife, Kalamazoo resident Cynthia Arnold. Pritchett, known to many as Dr. Matt Powers, a central char­acter on the NBC daytime soap opera “The Doctors” from 1963 to 1982, died March 15 at his New York home. He was 88. The winner of a best-actor Emmy in 1978 for his work on “The Doctors,” he also acted on Broadway and in national touring companies. But it was his work at the Barn, no doubt, that had the most significant impact on his life. While assuming the role of Sky Masterson in the Barn’s 1955 production of “Guys and Dolls,” Pritchett became ac­quainted with Arnold, an Up­john Co. employee who acted on the side. Playing a mission girl in that production, Arnold fell head over heels for Pritchett. “I followed him to New York, there’s no other way to say it,” she said. What attracted her to him? “Everything,” she said. “He was a fine actor, and he had such a wonderful sense of hu­mor, aside from the fact he was a very good-looking man.” The Pritchetts wed three years later and shared married life together for 53 years. “We had three beautiful chil­dren, and he was a very, very good father,” Cynthia Pritchett said. “He was on ‘The Doctors’ for almost 20 years, so he was ... stationed here in New York City, but he did do a lot of area work, and he did some national tours,” she said. “His spare time was spent with his family,” she added. “We had a great place out in the country and we spent all our extra time there, except when we were traveling, which we did a lot of, and we took our kids a good share of the time.” Pritchett first performed at the Barn Theatre in 1954 and returned, in addition to 1955, in 1960 and for at least three years in the 1980s, including his Barn-participation 30th anniversary year, 1984. A native of Lenoir, N.C., Pritchett earned a degree in meteorology from the University of Chicago while serving in the Army Air Forces during World War II and also worked for a time as an attorney after earning his law degree from the University of North Carolina. He appeared on Broadway in “Two for the Seesaw” in 1959 and “ Sail Away” in 1961- 62, and in national tours of “Auntie Mame” with Sylvia Sydney in 1958 and “Other People’s Money” with Tony Lo Bianco in 1991, according to an obituary in The New York Times. He also shared top billing with Geraldine Page and E.G. Mar­shall in Eugene O’Neill’s “ De­sire Under the Elms,” which played in 1956 at the Stude­baker Theater in Chicago. He was on television, in both programs and commercials, for many years, including in two other daytime serials, “The Se­cret Storm” and “As The World Turns,” the Times reported. In addition to “Guys and Dolls,” some of the Barn pro­ductions Pritchett appeared in over the years were “Mister Roberts,” “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” “The Rainmak­er,” “The Tender Trap,” “Two for the Seesaw” — a reprisal of his role in the Broadway play — “The Golden Fleecing,” “The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,” “Present Laughter” and “The Music Man.” Surviving Pritchett in addi­tion to his wife are his chil­dren, Laura and her husband, Priest Dimitri, of San Francis­co, Shelley, of New York City, and Kyle and his wife, Clau­dia, of Connecticut; and three grandchildren. A private memorial service for Pritchett will be held later in upstate New York.

Who else watching felt like applauding after Matt's speech to the board? That was AWESOME!! Major props to James Pritchett. As I've said before, NBC was majorly blessed to have three supremely gifted patriarch figures heading up their main soaps - and all three went on to win Emmys - James Pritchett, Macdonald Carey of DAYS and Douglass Watson of AW. The other "doctors" were awesome during the hearing - Nick lost his temper as we all knew he would (but his anger was justified as he was standing up for both Matt and Althea), and when Nathan Bunker asked Althea if she was sure that Nick was her baby's father...the look on Liz Hubbard's face was absolutely priceless. I'm surprised Althea didn't take her stethoscope and wring his neck with it!! House Jameson did manage to bring a surprising amount of humanity to Nathan Bunker - and I wonder how many other actors would have managed to balance all of the character's facets as well as he did. How much longer does he last on the show? Now that the hearing is over, let's hope Matt opens up his eyes to the German barracuda aka Dr. Karen Werner. We already know that both Maggie and Nick are onto her, and now Althea is starting to see the light. When Karen referred to Maggie as a good mother and left it at that, Althea can no longer tell Maggie that she is imagining things!! Finally, Steve Aldrich is back! Let's also hope that John Rice has also met the girl of his dreams...despite an awkward beginning!

Good point.

Oh my gosh, Ronn - that hairstyle is NOT good. On the other hand, he is wearing a normal suit!!

I know Audrey Peters went on to play Sarah Shayne on GL, but did Ron Tomme ever do another soap?

Stacy Sullivan's (Bitty the maid, 1992-93) daughter, Savannah Brown, made her acting debut on last night's episode of Lifetime's I Killed My BFF. Richard Eden wrote on FB that he is planning a return to acting after years of work behind the camera (he and his wife Shannon have their own production company). He still looks great and full of energy, so I hope he gets a gig soon!!

Thank you. I've read both 1971 and 1972 as Mona's debut, so I wanted to check. Was Steve a mama's boy or did he know how to stand up to her?
