At least she didn't last long in the role and wound up on SB soon thereafter, where she had a long run as a character much more suited to her strengths (Gina).

I can't even bring myself to watch that much of the final year of SB. Marcy leaving was bad enough, but A's departure was the nail in the coffin. It didn't even seem like the same program. Also, no way can I buy Eileen Davidson as Kelly. No way.

Makes sense, as both were P&G shows. Thanks.

Were Donna and Michael before Lily and Holden, or was it the other way around?

Sounds more like AW's Donna and Michael (aka the heiress and the stableboy)!!

Interesting - and she does look quite a bit like the real Coretta. I wish her nothing but the best!!!

Thanks. Jon and Kelley are coming close to two decades of marriage by now, I imagine (didn't they wed around the same time as the DePaivas?).

Speaking of Billy Dee Williams, he is confirmed to be participating in the upcoming season of Dancing With the Stars: http://www.today.com/entertainment/dancing-stars-season-18-cast-includes-drew-carey-billy-dee-2D79315522

Thank you, Carl, for filling in the blanks. Boy, Jon Hensley sure was involved with a lot of actresses before marrying one, wasn't he? Are he and Kelley still together (haven't kept up with soap news lately, sorry).

Thanks!! What happened with Kirk and Ellie to end their marriage? I remember him with Lucinda's sister, but not with anyone else. Also, it seemed like Tom Wiggin exited with no fanfare. Did he quit or was he fired? (I'm guessing the latter.)

Thanks for clarifying that. Susan Brown aka Gail Baldwin? Somehow I can't see her and Beverly Penberthy playing the same role, as they look and sound absolutely nothing alike, but it seemed like that character wasn't going to be a major player on the canvas anyway.

Me, too. I know next to nothing about her except that she's Eve Plumb's RL sis. Thanks for clarifying about Richard Backus. He also got an Emmy nomination for Best Supporting Actor for his work on RH, in addition to his Emmy nods on various soap writing teams.

Speaking of Iva, I had no idea she and Kirk once had a thing for each other - and that Beverly Penberthy (Pat from AW) played his former love interest until watching a random episode from early 1989 on YT.

You're right, and it got even worse once ABC bought the show from Labine/Mayer (though all the Marys were from when L&M Productions owned RH).

That's interesting - what a change in career direction! Is he still based on the East Coast?

Thanks!!!

Those are both great channels, but I wish I could find more of Amy and Brick in English.

That sounds awesome, Carl. You are just one big treasure trove of soap trivia!! I'm especially interested in the 70s/80s era of SFT: Maree Cheatham, Ann Williams, Anne Wyndham, Joel Higgins, Michael Nouri, Sherry Mathis, Rod Arrants, Lisa Peluso, Louise Shaffer and of course, Louan Gideon...any articles and pictures of them from that time would be awesome if you were to find them. Thanks again!!

Feel better soon!!! I just sent the picture to the Welch kids. Amanda and Liz were overjoyed; neither of them had ever seen that photo before!!

Thanks!! What year was that from? It would have to be between 76 and 78, as I'm guessing this is before she landed EON.

Thank you, Carl!! Is it OK if I pass along this picture to the Welches? (I'm in touch with all four of them.)

Page Moseley (Dylan Hartley, SB, 1985-86) went from show business to the mortgage business. He is now a loan officer in the LA area: http://www.wintrustmortgage.com/loan-officer.html?lo_id=11173

You're welcome! One of my local libraries carries the book, I've read it, and it's great. Dan Welch later on went to work as a location scout for Law & Order (the original). Can't you imagine Ann Williams on any of the L&O shows had she lived? She'd fit right in.

Back in 2009, Ann Williams' (Eunice) children wrote a memoir which is basically a love letter to their parents. Here are a couple of videos from Dan Welch's (Ann's son, whom she was pregnant with IRL while Eunice was pregnant with Suzi) YT channel: The making of the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNNuK_tlK4o&list=UUYDstl8KULEWwm3Ywrh8ySA Interview on GMA: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgJHEXN7Ooc&list=UUYDstl8KULEWwm3Ywrh8ySA (Morgan Fairchild is one of the interviewees, by the way.)

I'm going to post all this on the SFT thread as well, but since Ann Williams was on EON from 1978-80, I think it goes here, too. In 2009, her four children released a book, which essentially, is a love letter to their parents. Also, according to Liz Welch, Margo was her favorite of her mom's roles.
