  1. I don't know why GH is bothering with Heather, a 60 plus character with a convulated backstory not played by the original actress with tenuous links to the current canvas. If they want to reference the past there are plenty of other characters that could be brought on.
  2. Can Josh Morrow really decide what his storyline is and what involvements he wants for Nick? Still puzzled as to why GCAC can have background people but CL is always empty. Anyway today's director was smart and kept to tight shots in CL and Society so the lack of extras wasn't noticeable. Sharon Case isn't looking her best. Let's leave it at that.
  3. Well she did have sex with Ray, so her taste in men is questionable...
  4. @slick jones thanks for the update-it was a great site. Hopefully to return sooner rather than later.
  5. Keeping Clarice could have worked, and in time Cory could have been SORASED. Instant story as he becomes interested in his real father. Maybe Robert dies and leaves him money etc Clarice's had brothers Denny and Leigh. Both could have returned rather than creating new characters.
  6. I'm sorry it looks like an Arts & Craft project. Break out the crepe paper! And when is that stringy hair going to go out of fashion?
  7. Looking at Ellen's apartment explains why GL was in the state it was under her tenure. Sitting around that bland space would stifle creativity big time. Did she use left over green paint from the Cedars do-over?
  8. Definitely not mega wealthy characters, but some well to do and others striving to move up. A mix of relatable characters whose lifestyles can be depicted realistically within the budget of a daytime show. And if there are businesses, again something specific that can be utilized if needed-not one of those vague corporations.
  9. 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.
  10. AS THE WORLD TURNS Mr. _______ Reynolds Herb Nelson Aug/Sept 1967 hospital administrator dealing with the Steiner case. Under pressure from Michael Shea to discipline Bob Hughes, who, under threat of a lawsuit, resigns from Memorial hospital. Rose ____ Brando Ethel Everett (Remey) 1967 , 1968 wife of Mr. Brando. Bob Hughe's loyal patient, upset he was leaving Oakdale for Vermont.(1967) Impressed that Bob was doing so well as a doctor without his eyesight (to Pa Hughes); It was Bob's opinion that Mr. Brando would recover fully if she were to spend less time with her husband, alleviating the stress on his system. Al James Donald Madden Aug - Dec 57 taunted Penny and Jeff, Jeff killed him
  11. Jason looks a lot better there than he does on Y&R.
  12. That would fly . Especially as that's how big business is operating these days. Show that your diverse/inclusive to look good. You're beautiful as you are- but you need to spend your hard earned $$$ on all this stuff we're shilling.
  13. Hopefully there will be photos and stories from this event. As for being blocked, posters are entitled to do that. Just as everyone else is entitled to post freely (within guidelines) I enjoy most of the posts and those that I disagree with or dislike, I simply move on. Don't think it's worth my time to be annoyed/upset.
  14. @GymnastGuy thanks so much for sharing this. Although ultimately cancelled, NTY is an important part of soap history for what it attempted. These scripts give us much more insight into character and story / Hope you will post more.
  15. Requests Ashford & Simpson Mark Zimmerman Leon Morenzie Sab Shimono
  16. Taping the show straight through was standard practice at that time. It was only when shows went to an hour that they began taping out of sequence. I remember reading that Days struggled when they went to an hour because they were still trying to tape the show straight through and it was too hard on the actors. At some point I assume RH was no longer 'live tape' and began taping out of sequence as tape editing became more sophisticated.
  17. Seeking some clarity re Lynne Adams. She played Leslie 66-71. Did she choose to leave? I imagine so. GL recast with Kathryn Hays and then Barbara Rodell. Did they drop Kathryn when Barbara was killed off on Secret Storm, perhaps feeling Barbara would do better in the role? I'm assuming Kathryn wasn't there long and wasn't working out for whatever reason. Then also in 71 Lynne takes over as Amy on Secret Storm and plays that role until Jada Rowland decides to return to the role. I can see why SS would want Jada as she was t most identified with that role. If Lynne left GL to spread her wings she wasn't away long before coming back to soaps. So Lynne is out of a job at SS so GL drops Barbara so Lynne can return. However it appears Barbara was popular as Leslie so why would GL dump her for Lynne? Can anyone give a definitive response/timeline?
  18. Is Brooke wearing a Forrester Creation? It's kinda Chanel meets Mattel.
  19. Wish I could say yes, but only the front page of the script.
  20. The Verdict is Yours People v Taggart and Allen- 6 episodes. Jan 1960 Lt Richard Hendricks Laurence Haddon Lt on Overlook Police Force, arresting officer Bryan Prebble Joe Hamilton Manservant in the Taggart-Boucher household for over 20 years Linda Spencer Elizabeth Perry ex fiancee of defendant Ralph Taggart Douglas Evans Douglas King business associate of the late George Boucher and nephew of the late Eugenia King Taggart Boucher Rena Lazlo King Kitty Mattern estranged wife of Douglas King former 'war bride' Millard Colton Stuart Wilson real estate agent in Pleasantville Ralph Taggart Wesley Lau co defendant.

Mistress of the late George E Boucher.Claims she arrived after Taggart left,Boucher was aggresive and she shot him in self defence.
  21. Ep # 3437 Tape date Oct 12 64 Air date Nov 3 64 So at this point they were almost a month ahead. When did SFT stop airing live? Written by Julian Funt & David Lesan Cast Alison Fred Len Jo Athur Nurse (extra) Sets Metcalf living room Hospital room/corridor At this point Patti was to marry Everett Moore but Ev had been hospitalized. I think she was pregnant by Everett? Must have had a miscarriage? Arthur was running Tate Enterprises for Allison his cousin.
  22. It was great that Sally Sussman brought Dina/Marla back to Y&R but I wish that before the Alzheimers story Dina had been allowed to be a kick ass older woman causing the fur to fly In GC. Marla would have nailed it. Instead we got the dottery old lady trope.
  23. Another example of an actor enjoying scenes that may not be so well received by viewers. I caught some of Eileen's Southern Belle...
  24. SEARCH FOR TOMORROW Dr. Lee_____ Sanderson Gwyda DonHowe Working with Dan Walton on out of town project,keeps secret that he has a terminal illness Oct 25 1971- 1972 Marion Kincaid Sylvia Field 1951 Joanne Barron Margaret Draper (temp replacement for Mary Stuart) July 1952
