Has Elon been confirmed to be a crooked cop? I remember it was looking that way a while back. Frankly, I'd prefer Elon not be crooked -- perhaps something was just misunderstood. I like the actor and the character -- plus it would be nice to have an adult working-class man on the show who is not a cheater, crooked, or otherwise a loser. I don't mind if Elon is rough around the edges, but just don't make him a loser, please.

I too enjoy the Have Nots. I just wish there were a few more in that group and that we saw them together more often. How about including June in the group, since she seems to be on stable footing now, and is now probably working-class? Also, they could add an employee of the country-club, and maybe Anita and Vernon's housekeeper. I would much rather see an expanded group of Have Nots instead of an additional wealthy family (as some folks are asking for).

Pat Randolph and Brian Bancroft on Another World around 1982. Two characters of approximately the same age who had been on AW for years, but always connected to other people. In 1982, it seemed the writers had nothing better to do with either Pat or Brian, so they put them into a short-lived romance. Both were extremely good actors, but even that couldn't make the romance seem organic and real. Needless to say, it didn't work.

I think his full name is Chadwick. I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times. It may have been Stefano.

Thank you for the information. I did listen to the entire interview with Miss Roux -- way back when it was first released. But I am unable to recall her mentioning Connie Ford, and don't have time nor effort to listen to the entire thing again, just for one small morsel. So again, thanks for responding. I do recall Roux sounded extremely fragile and perhaps a bit wounded in the interview. I almost felt guilty for even listening to it. So perhaps that has some influence on my reluctance to listen to it again. She seemed troubled, to say the least.

Is the current DiMera mansion the same mansion Stefano moved into around 1983? I remember that house was out near a lake, and not far from Doug Williams' night club. In fact, there was a tunnel connecting Doug's Place to the DiMera mansion. If it supposed to be the same house, I'm fairly sure it is not the same set. But I'm aware sometimes soap opera sets change without any explanation

For those of us who can't listen to an hour and a half interview -- can you tell us what Carol said about Connie Ford? Thank you.

Well with a 2025 budget, they couldn't keep all those characters on screen for five-days in a row. And actually, I don't believe that was ever possible on soaps -- even in the 1970s. TPTB wisely decided not to celebrate the show's 60th anniversary with one stand-alone episode (Oh jeeze, I hate stand-alone episodes), but to give us an entire week of memories mixed with current plots. So I completely expected various characters would be featured intermittently throughout the week. Was the 60th anniversary week perfect? Absolutely not. But TPTB did their best to honor the history of DOOL, all the way back to day-one. And I think they did a damned good job! If you disagree, It won't rock my boat.

I remember Penny's comment. My sentiments exactly!!

I can't answer this question directly. But there was a line in the early days of Another World in which Alice told someone that Jim and Mary were visiting their friends, the Hughes, in Oakdale. And this would have been while Irna Phillips and Bill Bell were still writing Another World.

If I'm not mistaken, this is the interview in which Miss Roux can be heard whispering, "I need to go to the bathroom." I guess audio editing was not an option in 2005.

You are absolutely correct. DOOL was extremely compelling when the Horton family was front and center in nearly every episode. Especially when Bill Bell was head-writing, but even after that as well. The Hortons were never a boring middle-class core family. Middle-class, yes, but many members of the Horton clan were flawed in big wonderful ways. And they certainly did cause a lot of trouble for themselves (and one another). By the way -- does anyone know if there is a way for non-subscribers to Peacock to view the past few episodes? Thanks for any advice.

The entire story went on for months, and built slowly. It was unsettling at first, then unnerving, and ultimately terrifying. Writer Henry Slesar gave us so many twists and turns, so many surprises, so many heart-stopping moments, no wonder the ratings were so high at the time. I remember watching this storyline on EON. I was around 12 years old, so I remember it fairly well. But does anyone remember if the location scenes were shot on film, or on videotape? I would assume, in 1971-72 it would likely have been shot on film. Soaps did very little location shooting at that time, and when they did it seemed to be always on film. Just curious if EON may have been ahead of the game, and used videotape...

Are these scenes on Youtube? Or posted anyplace else. I'd enjoy watching them.

Emily Prager was the best adult Laurie Ann in my opinion. She played the young ingenue during the Keith Whitney/Jonah Lockwood plot. I don't think I remember Jeanne Ruskin in the role. But I do remember disliking Linda Cook as Laurie Ann. Cook was a good actor, but miscast as Laurie Ann. Cook just did not have the innocence or the ingenue quality that the role deserved.
