Peter Haskell who originated the role was commuting from LA to NY to work on SFT. After a few years, he got tired of the grind and accepted a role on the LA based soap "Rituals" so he could be closer to his family. Joe Lambie, the next actor was reunited with his old "Edge of Night" producer Erwin Nicholson. When Nicholson left, I guess Joe decided to follow him out the door. In terms of Robert Reed, when you get older the parts are more limited. He didn't last long either, as I think he was written out after 13 weeks. He was difficult behind the scenes of the Brady Bunch, and I could see him being even more difficult on a soap, due to its fast pace.

The prison segments were actually filmed on location at the Bergen County Jail in Hackensack NJ, with real-life Inmates as Background extras

Whenever articles are written about gay storylines on Soaps - most people have forgotten that Love of Life was one of the first soaps to have a gay storyline It was when Ben was in prison and the victim of an attempted male rape

It was filmed like a daytime drama, with 3 cameras and on videotape, instead of film.

One Life To Live made MBE an offer; when that happened, she wanted to give ATWT first right of refusal. When they heard of OLTL interest, they immediately put MBE on contract.

Douglas Marland was in frequent touch with Martha Byrne about six months before Heather Rattray's contract expired, to see whether she was interested in returning. Martha expressed interest, so the powers that be (TPTB) allowed Heather's contract to expire without negotiating a renewal. Once Heather's contract expired (and she left), TPTB began speaking with Byrne for an ATWT comeback, so it didn't appear that Heather had been fired for Martha.

In terms of Martha coming back, after Heather left, she made a series of demands before she would commit. One of them was Lily NOT being invloved in any sort of business dealings. Martha felt that Lily was not the corporate type. Another demand was to make a Lily a singer, as Martha is a singer. She wanted to showcase her singing abilities. If Anne Sward (Lila) could to sing on a regular basis at the Mona Lisa, why can't Martha?

That is actually what happened after Maureen was killed off. Ed was struggling and very close to falling off the wagon. It had to do with the conflicts between him and Michelle, as she suspected what had happened and was punishing him (as well as Lillian) for the affair. No one wanted to tell Michelle, but she was a smart girl and figured it out all on her own. There was a scene where Nola shunned Ed, when she returned to town. Nola had to go to the Emergency Room, and Ed was on call. But she refused to be seen by him, and they had this big blow-up over the affair.

For those who said that Terry Lester would have been a great re-cast for Alan Spaulding - I just stumbled on this article, that Terry Lester was offered a role on GL, but turned it down because he wanted to work with Douglas Marland The GL role? It was for Buzz Cooper! (article below) Now you might say with JFP as EP, that is impossible that Lester was the first choice. But JFP only has so much sway, the network has the final say, and they wanted Lester back on their soaps. As he was a bigger name than Justin Deas

I don't understand why Guiding Light keeps getting targeted on YouTube? As The World Turns accounts haven't been affected. Neither has Another World or Edge of Night Why does YouTube keep targeting Guiding Light, and not the other P&G soaps that have libraries of episodes on YouTube Any speculation?

I read somewhere that it was between Signy Coleman and Teresa Blake (Gloria Marsh AMC) for the role. In an interview with the Locher Room, Signy's ex-husband (Vincent Irizarry) claims he pulled some string for Signy to get the part. Because he wanted his daughter on the East Coast, and that would happen if Signy got a role of a NY Soap.

Before CBS cancelled GL, TPTB were actually holding auditions for a recast Michelle Bauer. Which seems such an insult to Nancy St. Alban, as she was available to come back to the role. There was talk that Martha Madison (Belle, Days of our Lives) was the leading contender the part. But then they got cancelled, and to close things up they brought Nancy back as Michelle for the final episodes.

I've always said that Marcy Walker should've been cast as a recast Morgan instead of "Tangie" - as that was Walker's biggest complaint. Tangie had no ties to anyone in Springfield (other than a tenuous one with Roger). As a recast Morgan, that character had direct ties to both the Bauer family & the Spaulding family.

Before she turned down the 3 year deal, the writers were steering Janice into a relationship with Andy. If she continued, I could see her and Andy being a pair, and causing all sorts of problems with Kim (as a potential mother-in-law) It would be "Joyce Colman" all over again!
