Yes, that sounds right.

That might have been interesting, especially given that William Grey Espy would play Mitch on AW...

Here are Bill and Susan Hayes on Lifestyle TV Magazine:

Jed Allan, best known to us SB fans as the final and definitive CC Capwell, can now be seen in reruns on MeTV. They are showing Celebrity Bowling, which was Jed's side gig while starring as Don Craig on DAYS back in the 70s. Even if your area doesn't carry MeTV, you can watch CB episodes on their website. Gotta love Jed's plaid leisure suits and platform shoes!!! http://metvnetwork.com/videos/celebrity-bowling

Those are great! Thanks for sharing them!!

Thank you! Was anyone else from RH on TLB?

Thanks for posting that scene. For being on a budget, everyone on the show sure made the best of it.

I did read that Karen does sink her claws into another doctor later on. For a doctor, Matt sure doesn't seem too bright when it comes to Karen's wiles, does he? It does look like Althea is dangerously close to losing the baby - and I wonder if we will get to see Nick's softer side soon because of it. Also, Maggie can't come home soon enough!!

Which music video?

A movie? OK, thanks. Shows how much attention I've been paying to the movies lately. LOL

Cool, thanks!

Alan Feinstein also did a terrific job as a villain in a Charlie's Angels episode called "The Sandcastle Murders". Ironically, the same episode featured another guest star who would make her name on soaps - Melody Thomas (pre-Scott).

Yes, Althea and Maggie indeed have a wonderful friendship. I've only seen the relationship with Bethel Leslie as Maggie, so I wonder how it will play out when Lydia Bruce takes over the role.

I've never seen that show, but it sounds like a great role for Sela Ward. Hope it all works out for her on the show.

Really? I know that she was in a Season 3 episode of L&O - who met an unfortunate end by the mob.

Does anyone think Nancy Barrett (also of DS) could have made a good Alice? She was a blond and while she wasn't right for the role of Dr. Faith Coleridge on RH, she might have made an interesting Alice - certainly no worse than the ones who played the role after Jacquie.

The only writer listed in the credits was Rita Lakin, but I do know they had medical professionals hired on as consultants.

What a wonderful article!! Thank you for posting it - and I will pass along your congrats to my folks. Thanks for your well wishes. Ironically, Mr. and Mrs. Hayes were doing a meet and greet in my town about 4 or so years ago. I really wanted to go, but at the time I was in an immobilizer and on crutches due to dislocating my left knee in a car crash. I wasn't able to drive again yet, and there was no one available to drive me to the event. Oh, well. Maybe they will visit again in the not so distant future. You never know. Does anyone have the current SOD with their 40th anniversary interview? I'd love to read that, too. I hope DAYS will commemorate the occasion. Yes, I know that Doug and Julie didn't actually tie the knot until 1976, but it would be lovely if they would still do a special episode for Mr. and Mrs. Williams AND their portrayers.

It's a fascinating idea - not to mention that it had been done before, in reverse. Nicolas Coster originated the role of Robert Delaney on Somerset and had problems with the producer there, and Paul Rauch asked if he would like to play the character on AW instead. It would have been fun to see the Frames in a new environment - especially if Henry Slesar had been writing the show then. Ahhh, what might have been...

The episode is right on the website - so the link above should work. Such a fun show!!

Yeah, I found it ironic that the German doctor was played by a native of Poland. One of the old soap magazines (I saw it on eBay) had a photo of her with her kids on the cover and boasted her "the Bavarian Bombshell"!!!

Speaking of Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, today marks their ruby wedding anniversary - their 40th!!! October 12, 1974 - which, ironically, is the day my parents also tied the knot. Happily, both couples are still together!!!

Speaking of vintage treasures, MeTV is now airing reruns of Celebrity Bowling!!!! Most of you know that this was Jed Allan's side gig while playing Don Craig on DAYS (in fact, Bill and Susan Hayes appeared on the show). Here's the site, where episodes have been uploaded: http://metvnetwork.com/videos/celebrity-bowling Here's the episode featuring "Doug" and "Julie". Opposing them is Vince "Ben Casey" Edwards and Whitman "Grady Wilson" Mayo!!! http://metvnetwork.com/videos/celebrity-bowling/celebrity-bowling-episode-134

Looks like we've got a lot to look forward to!! Thanks for the info. I would also love to see the First Ladies Diaries specials that earned Elizabeth Hubbard and Gerald Gordon Emmys (she for playing Edith Wilson, he for playing Andrew Jackson). My understanding is that Paul Rauch produced the specials. How many were made?

This show really is a window into the past. Doctors smoking in the hospital - like Nick when he and Althea were talking in her clinic. He offered the pregnant-with-his-baby Althea a cigarette before lighting one up for himself and smoking it right in front of her. When she refuses and tells him he should quit, he says, "I can't. I'm addicted." Sadly, when Gerald Gordon passed away in the summer of 2001 - it was from emphysema.
