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'

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...

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

Max Wylie is the author.

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.

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.

Danfling. The Girl from Peyton Place came about early in the show's run and episodes were shown on PP when Betty went to New York. The spin off was set but then for whatever reason the decision was made to expand PP to 3 nights a week rather than use the 3rd night for the new show. Have a read through the Peyton Place thread for more detail.

Possibly the most famous soap opera portrait

Not the best portrait to represent Katherine Chancellor

"HILLTOP HOUSE" with Bess Johnson Colgate -Palmolive -Peet Co. WABC-CBS, Monday through Friday, 5:45 -6 p.m. Benton & Bowles, Inc. WARM HUMAN INTEREST SERIAL WITH ORPHANAGE LOCALE, WELL WRITTEN AND ACTED. Bess Johnson, long known as the voice of "Lady Esther ", has a neat little vehicle in this "Hilltop House ", authored by Addy Richton and Lynn Stone under the nom de plume of "Adelaide Marston ". The house in question is an orphanage, and Miss Johnson is the matron in charge. Opening episode lost no time in setting the scene and arousing immediate listener interest and sympathy. Both the script and the writing stood out as well above the average serial. Characters heard on the first program included a colored cook and some likeable kids. Drama enters the picture with impending likelihood of the orphanage having to close shop. Just then word comes of a stranger having fainted near the orphanage gates, and this supplies the note of suspense to carry over into the next chapter. Cast of the serial also includes Carleton Young, Irene Hubbard, Jay Austin. John Moore, Janice Gilbert and Jimmy Donnelly. Miss Johnson assists on the commercials, which are not overdone

Victoria Newman scored 2 portraits in her office. What happened to the first one?

The Doctors Dan Clay ??? threatened to blackmail Matt and Maggie, sued hospital for $300,000 Oct 63 Andy Sharp ??? June 64 Margaret Sharp ??? June 64

But they don't need a courtroom. Remember those dramatic scenes of Amanda in court played out against a wall ?

Roberta Leighton?

Thanks Jason for those articles. I wonder if Susan only agreed to a year in the first place? Maybe story wise they would have been better off biting the bullet and killing off Laura, leaving Bill a grieving widower, Kind hearted Maggie feels sorry for him and becomes a mother figure to Jennifer and they get closer. Jealous Mickey finds it difficult to handle...

Re Marla/Phyllis I can see her as a member of Stuart Brooks circle throwing shade at newlywed Liz Foster Brooks and her shortcomings as a hostess at a gathering at the Brooks home. Nov 1980 Stuart’s rich friends enjoyed Liz’s cocktail party but she feared she doesn’t with in with them. Pure conjecture on my part.

A question regarding Susan Oliver. How did viewers of the time regard her portrayal? She had big shoes to fill but was an accomplished actress. Signing her was quite a coup for Days as she was a respected primetime actress. What were the circumstances regarding her short stay? Was there negative viewer reaction or did Susan not adjust to daytime?

That brings up another issue. Yes, at first, Victor wore 'cowboy' clothing. I guess they wanted to portray a certain image. It made it seem Victor was more interested in the ranch than his businesses? At some point that costuming was dropped. Anyone have any thoughts/memories?

Agree. He fumbles, mumbles and stumbles. He acts so interested in GH past but has zilch knowledge beyond superficial stuff.

Those Y&R roles are great but of course raise questions eg Marla Adams as Phyllis Palmer???

When is this from - 1972? We have Judy Lewis as Susan, Lynne Adams as Amy, David Ackroyd as Kevin, Robert Loggia as Frank. Not sure about the woman with long dark hair, the guy in the mustard blazer or the man in check shirt and blue vest. I'm sure one of you will know!

Thank you-they're great. This must be just before Lynne Adams returned as Leslie.

Thanks so much for this. So I assume that is Carol Ann talking to David and Ellen. Talk about SORAS. She is only about 6 in real time. Wonder when the created by Irna credit was dropped? And Don Hastings gets top billing over Helen and Don. And Eileen has yet to have the 'and Eileen Fulton as Lisa' billing. This is post 73 strike when Irna did not return.Only Wally Mathews remains I think from Irna's last reign.(and of course Kim) Was Kim mentioned by Jennifer before she arrived? Or was she suddenly talked about a few weeks before her debut.
