I had help from another SON member. A very kind member on this board.
I'll give a "clue" about the blonde hunk.
Just head to the men's locher room.
I have no idea. I guess the character was Hope? A blonde guy who was on the Locher room and there have been many. More clues please

Interesting to see Dr Leong in the cast list. Most likely an Asian character/actor which was unusual at the time.
I'm not sure what ABC's strategy was with NTY-obviously targeting the youth audience but limited because of that. Dark Shadows had youth appeal but initially was a more adult serial.
TPTB screwed up by having their target audience in school when the show premiered and cancelled the show before summer vacation??? I mean, they should have kept it going through the summer and see if the ratings grew. Another problem is that in some markets it aired at 8:30am, 2pm and 3pm. How would their target audience see it except holidays? I also think instead of high schoolers, they should have been college age and draw the college age audience......

Dr. Leong, Mr. Walker and attorney Preston Mackey discuss future huge damage suit against Tad. JoJo is asked again to compromise his testimony. The pressure is put on JoJo. JoJo resists even when he finds out that Tad's mental capacity after surgery may be questioned. JoJo leaves and Walker tries to back off this kind of pressure, but Mackey points out that they cannot afford not to fight. Rhoda tries to compose a telegram to Frank while on an airplane and then decides instead to arrive unannounced. Frank makes a date with Alice for Saturday night. JoJo comes in pretty depressed about Tad and the testimony business when talking with Frank, Barbara and Alfy. Frank assures JoJo to stand his ground. Alfy and Barbara discuss their loss of guilt at Tad's recovery. Alfy is a little aggressive with Barbara. The Four Seasons perform at The High Dive. Marilyn tries her best to cheer JoJo up.

These scripts give us much more insight into character and story / Hope you will post more.
I will post all that I received.

Here is the first script that I have received the other day. Synopsis and photos.
JoJo has had his haircut and submits with dignity, but informs Mr. Layton that the battle is not over yet. Chet and Joy are in the hospital and run into Mr. Walker. Tad is still unconscious. Joy and Chet attempt to comfort Mr. Walker. Mr. Walker lets the two know that he does not appreciate their efforts as long as they will not tell him what they know. Mr. Porter arrives at the hospital and goes to Mr. Walker. Mr. Porter lets Mr. Walker know about JoJo's plight. After they talk, Mr. Walker tells Porter that it is fine that JoJo speaks his truth regardless if it may hurt Tad in the end. Chet and Joy have coffee at Alfy's and discuss that they are happy with the new regime that Alice and Frank have created for them. Chet is disappointed that Joy has not told Rhoda that they are seeing each other and that they need to lead honest lives with everyone including Rhoda. Chet and Joy decide to head to the beach. JoJo arrives at the beach and chats with Joy and Chet. Mr. Porter pulls up at the beach and has good news for JoJo. Porter tells his son that Mr. Walker wants JoJo that he spoke with Walker and Walker agrees that JoJo should speak his truth. JoJo is elated that his Dad spoke in his defense to Walker and realizes that Dad is finally understanding him. The Lovin Spoonful rehearse at the High Dive singing, "Do you Believe in Magic and You Didn't Have to be so Nice". Greg, one of the members of The Motley Crew makes a pass at Joy and Chet comes to Joy's defense. A fight ensues and JoJo is the one that gets hurt. Alfy breaks up Greg and Chet and rakes Greg over the coals with a final warning with his behavior. Greg threatens more trouble in Chet's future.

Barbara speaks to Alfy at the High Dive, rejecting his offer to run away with him. She says she can’t do such a thing unless they were to be married. However, Alfy says he won’t marry her because it would force him back into show business, which he despises. They argue about their situation, but are interrupted when Mel Carter arrives to rehearse for his performance at the High Dive that night. During his rehearsal, Alfy slips out. Tad talks to Barbara in the High Dive, where she tells him that she won’t run away with Alfy despite the fact that she loves him.

He reveals to Jo Jo what Alfy did, but Susan insists he had good reasons for it. Tad isn’t convinced and leaves to find Alfy; Susan and Jo Jo are unable to stop him. Susan insists to Jo Jo that Alfy did what he did because he had no choice. Barbara arrives asking where Tad went and gets into an argument with Susan about her relationships.

She calls her house, hoping for an answer, but Bert is still unconscious. Afterwards she uses her last dime to call the Landis residence, but in her panic she dials the wrong number. She tries to get the party on the other end to help her, but they mistake it for a prank call and hang up. Joy realizes she's stuck and tries to distract herself but she is overcome by fear.

Here is a great article about Dennis Parker/Wade Nichols from The Edge of Night. At the time of his death his partner was Joey Allan Phipps who was the first Kelly McGrath in 1980:

Not sure where to pst this but this thread seemed appropriate.
Variety March 1969 reviewed the 'The Boys in the Band' for a second time, now that the original cast had moved on to LA and London productions.
Most of the roles were taken by soap performers, many who were gay IRL
Michael Lipton
Konrad Matthei
David O'Brien
Matthew Tobin
Leon Russom
Christopher Bernau
Ted LePlat
Harold Scott and David Daniels were other castmembers.
Interesting that so many closeted actors would take on gay roles on stage.
I believe Russom and LePlat are str8?

I have been watching 1980 of The Doctors and think it is excellent. Doris Quinlan has done a great job and I do think the stories by Ralph Ellis and Eugenie Hunt are great. Lot of action which was big in 1980. Finally, a couple of remotes. Great new additions. The siege of the hospital is a month long an it was great to bring back David Canary as Warner AKA Far Wind.
I was going through the magazine Daytime TV and there is an article saying that early 1981 NBC bought the rights from Colgate Palmolive. Not in 1980 which has been eroniously reported.
Here is the article from Daytime TV magazine from Mid 1981.

Can anyone share details on Doug Marland's departure ? On paper Agnes Nixon + Douglas Marland appear to be a dream team...but that wasn't the case. Would love any insights ?
Yes and why since Marland Co-Created why down the rode was he no longer credited?

I am up to late May 1995 and I am seeing that there are 7 Black characters on the canvas. Jacob/Angie/Charles are the front burner storyline too. This is so great. Other than Generations I do not think any soap had 7 or more Black character on at one time. Plus, Loving is only a half hour soap. Brava!

I have been updating the Loving IMDB page as I have been watching the show from 1991-1995. I have been crediting the actors, producers, directors and writers.

I have acquired 10/11 of the original scripts. The show is good, too bad it was not given a chance.

I went to Paley two weeks ago and watched all the Somerset shows they had; 9. The years were 1975 and 1976 that they had. The quality is excellent. The shows were very interesting. I was amazed at how nice the sets were. I guess with all the space they had in Brooklyn that helped. The cast was beautiful and I thought the acting was top notch. Very underrated . It is sad that more episodes do not remain....
It was nice to see so much of Georgeann Johnson's character Ellen with both Dale and Luke McAllister. I think most of the characters from Spring 1975 until July 1976 were featured.
