Didn't Janice have to tape scenes that had already been completed with Mary? Either Mary didn't capture the qualities Bell wanted in Leslie or she couldn't cope with the taping schedule... I think many a performer has been dropped because they couldn't remember their lines and held up production.

And Tara should have stuck around (with a better actress)That character had so much potential as Ashlands vengeful/vulnerable ex desperate to hold on to her position and her son. Possible love interest for Nick, Adam etc

So they got little more than a year out of the Ashland character. That Tuscan wedding was a waste of $$$$ What a waste. He had so much story potential but once he's gone there is no impact on the canvas. Both Sharon and Victoria have been widowed after short lived marriages which severely limits their story options, especially when those marriages were the latest of many. Josh has to go!

Lisa had moved on to secret Storm and only played her new role for a short time before the accident. i think Janet was dropped once Agnes Nixon took over. Janet was another of Irna Phillips older single gals who entered into doomed affairs with married men - see Edith Hughes and Kim Reynolds.

The original Matthews girls. Susan Trustman as Pat and Liza Chapman as Janet were frontburner for the first two or so years. Jacquie as Alice was supporting. Susan left show business after AW and Liza died in a car crash after leaving the show. Rare to see a photo of all three

Jacquie is only 30 years old in that clip. To me she looks much older but that's how things have changed over the years. Nowadays, actresses at least a decade older present like this thanks to the botox/fillers and various other treatments. And of course dress a lot younger.

KT was the daughter of director Sam Wood who directed some classic films (Kitty Foyle. Kings Row,Goodbye Mr Chips et al)and had been acting for 40 years or so-she started in radio soaps. Her son Christian Marlowe dabbled in soaps (Love of Life). He ex husband was Hugh Marlowe (Jim Matthews AW and many Hollywood movies in the 50's) So quite the Hollywood family dynasty.

Jan 1965 Amy and Kipp Rysdale (Ed Griffith)- The Brighter Day
Variety August 59 Barbara Joyce flew in from Chesapeake waters to do 'Brighter Day'. She continues on as 'Anne Meadows',part she created this past year on 'As The World Turns'- The Brighter Day
Thanks Slick. Was pretty sure you might have an answer. So I wonder if on TBD the Meadows had other stories in their time there? If Ellen went to stay with them and was seen with them on ATWT, was this before they were on TBD? A little confused...- The Brighter Day
I don't believe that the Meadows adopted Ellen's child -rather just cared for him while Ellen decided what to do. From a 1958/59 synopsis But a new man soon comes into Ellen's life: Dr. Tim Cole, a research colleague of Dr. Doug Cassen. The two have a passionate affair, but Tim is keeping something from Ellen: he is already married to someone else. Ellen soon finds herself pregnant. Since she doesn't want anyone in Oakdale to know she's going to have a baby out of wedlock, Ellen leaves for Columbus, where she stays with Dr. Joe Meadows and his wife. It is there that Ellen gives birth to a baby boy she names James, after her late father. Ellen, who has just given birth to Jimmy, feels betrayed that Tim didn't tell her about his wife, Louise. Therefore, Ellen leaves Jimmy in the care of Dr. Meadows, and she starts dating Burt Stanton, a friend of Jeff's. Ellen and Burt soon become engaged, but Burt breaks the engagement after learning of her affair and baby with Tim. With seemingly nowhere else to turn, Ellen gives up Jimmy for adoption. As for the Meadows appearing on The Brighter Day.I'll have to some more checking. As for the Meadows appearing on The Brighter Day- Love of Life Discussion Thread
Max Wylie is the author.- YR promo week of July 26th: The end.
This seems like rerun of the JT story. Another 'dead' body in Victoria's house...another cover up? Or maybe Ashland will survive and agree not to press charges against Nick in return for whatever. And this is the first time in years we've seen the entrance and stairs at Victoria's ugly blue house.- Y&R: Old Articles

Arlene Dahl played Lucinda on One Life to Live.Frustrating that they would make such a mistake. I'm certain other daytime performers were missed. And why use that ancient picture of Donald May when there are plenty of photos from when he played Adam. Peg English was Pheobe's sister-in-law, Brooke's mother. although it was revealed later that Peg was not Brooke's birth mother.
