A few years back I read the first year recaps. Janet and Susan were very close and it made Liz jealous.

She appears between Tina Sloan and Christopher Knight so it looks like she was put on contract in late 1980. I do not get why this is illogical for you but I really don’t care enough to debate with you.

I mean if she had been on contract from 1972 to 1981 she would have been listed earlier in the cast credits. Therefore, she must have been recurring for part of her run then put back on contract. I find it hard to believe that they would list her with the contract cast if she was actually recurring.

Vera Moore was on contract in 1981. She is quite far down the cast list so she must have been recurring for quite some time.

I understand how it works. Danny & Charlotte are 4th cousins or 3rd cousins once removed. Not 2nd cousins once removed.

I just rewatched Texas and thought Jeb was a pretty interesting character. He had lots of story until Gail Kobe became EP.

Alexis and Valentin are first cousins. Doesn’t that make Alexis and Charlotte second cousins, Sam and Charlotte third cousins and Danny and Charlotte fourth cousins?

I agree. Naming the character Liam cannot be a coincidence.

Thank you!

Paul Rader. Samuel D. Ratcliffe, Gerald Flesher and another writer who I can’t remember are also listed with Paul.

I just finished watching the episodes where Beau Baker dies after opening the Fire Compass and Ruby and Lurlene get rid of his body. I have waited 43 years to watch them again and they do not disappoint. Ruby and Lurlene are hilarious and are by far my favourite Texas couple.

My memories of Perry are different than yours. He was a unique character who was well integrated into Bay City. He had an interesting relationship with Donna, a complex relationship with Carl, a sweet romance with Nancy and friendships with Carter and Ben. He tried to prove himself by making Smiley’s a success which had him interacting with many characters there including Maisie and Felicia. I thought his absence was a big loss for the show.

I believe Perry was written out because David Oliver wanted to leave the show not because of Jake. Jake’s nephew Sean was Kevin Anderson’s son. Kevin was Jake’s half brother.

Her description was a bit off but it was 52 years ago so we can give her a pass.
