Kyle's outfit looks wrong to me. The bowtie is oversized and the black pants look cheap and ill fitting.

"Secret Storm" memories.
November 1967 Jeffrey Lynn JoinThe Secret Storm Jeffrey Lynn, stage, screen and television actor, has joined the cast of "The Secret Storm," daytime drama series in color Monday through Friday at 2 p.m. on Channel 5. . Starting Thursday, Nov. 30, he will create the running role of Charles Clemens, a wealthy newspaper publisher, whose residence in' the fictional city of Woodbridge, N.Y., with his daughter and a mentally disturbed granddaughter. Lynn is a native of Massachusetts and a graduate of Bates College, Maine. - He began his showbusiness career at the famed Barter Theater in Virginia. Later he joined the legendary "stock company" at Warner ' Brothers Studio, where he made his mark in "Four Daughters," "The Fighting 69th;" "Yes, My Darling Daughter "Million - Dollar Baby" and many other films. ". During World .War II Lynn saw service with the Army Air Force in Africa, Italy and Austria. Honorably discharged with the rank of captain, he resumed his. film career, appearing in "A Letter to Three Wives," 'Up Front" and "Butterfield 8."" He has a leading role in the current "Tony Rome," starring Frank Sinatra. November 1969 Meet Jeffrey Lynn Soaps brought him back By STAN MAYS Becausee thlngs were a little slow at the time flt e stream, and because he had an urge at the time to jointhe mainstream, actor Jeffrey Lynn, while riding the subway, became interested in a book about the real estate business. Lynn has made his share of mistakes ("In the early '50s I moved east when TV was moving west. I had no income from IV work. ) But he was to prove something to himself; he could do something else. He took the real estate test and became an agent. Ironically, since returning to California with his wife and children, to work with a firm in the San Fernando Valley, his acting career has picked up again. He gives thanks that his former agent is now in an executive post at Universal, and that he has an indulgent boss at the real estate firm. Between selling homes Lynn has worked in "The Outsider," "Ironside" and next will be seen in "Crisis," a doctors segment of "The Bold Ones" for NBC-TV. He plays a heart patient who almost dies because of a revolutionary operation performed by a flamboyant doctor. "I have to. credit a soap opera for bringing me back to TV," confesses Lynn, who, after acting in TV during the early aays, spent most of his time touring in summer stock and road shows like "Mary, Mary" and "Two for the Seesaw." "It was a great training ground for a year playing a newspaper publisher in 'Secret Storm.' " The thought brought to mind the luxury of time afforded actors working in movies years ago as opposed to TV's hurry-up pace. ' "I remember when we were making 'The Fighting 69th,' " he said. "We were all in a huge bomb crater facing the Ger mans. I was playing a green soldier in a scene with Humphrey Bogart. (He laughed, recalling how Jimmy Cagney nudged him, saying 'You'e on your own with Bogey, kid'). "Well, I supposedly get a young enemy soldier in my sights. But I can't shoot him. 'He can't be more than 16,' I say. Whereupon Bogey shoots him and mutters something. It didn't sound right. They tried another line, and that was no good. We sat around that pit an hour something you'd never do in TV while they worked on one line. They finally came up with one of Bogey's most memorable lines: 'He'll never be 17.' " Now in his late 50s, Lynn is grateful his career took the course it did: "When I was a kid in Rhode Island starting out in summer stock I asked an actor what my chances were. 'You won't starve,' he told me. And that was the only assurance I got." With Joan Crawford during her Secret Storm guest stint

The Doctors Discussion Thread
Jan 87 BURNELL SITTERLY, 44, actor who starred as Dr. Mike Powers on the soap opera The Doctors in the 1970s, killed himself in a friend's home, police said. The body of Sitterly was found Monday hanging off an interior balcony in the living room with the rope tied to an upstairs door knot). He was depressed about his acting career and had spent the past few weeks visiting friends in Cape Cod, New York and Chicago, said Gerald Mast, in whose home the actor's body was found. Sitterly was having difficulty finding serious roles and was searching for "people interested in the art of theater," Mast said. Sitterly apparently killed himself after an interview at the Northlight Repertory Theater In north suburban Evanston. Sitterly began his acting career in a Chicago hotel lounge in 1965 and later appeared in In Praise of Love on Broadway with Rex Harrison and Julie Harris. He appeared on The Doctors from 1970 to 1976.

YR: Fan favorite couple gets married
Don't know how or why ended up working at Jabot. Seems an odd choice seeing as how that company has been devalued onscreen in favor of the media giants. We never see Mariah at work. Post wedding, I wonder what stories they will give the newlyweds? Some career stuff for Tessa? Baby issues? Whatever, it will be C level...

Jam, you are amazing! So finding out that Julie was a lawyer, it seems likely that she popped up again in 65 in that role.

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
Thanks for posting. They were pretty awful, but what got to air wasn't much better. They needed to incorporate the traditional cloud visuals. With imagination, they could have been updated. Any Search cast montage that doesn't build to Stu and Jo doesn't cut it for me.

DAYS: Behind the Scenes, Articles/Photos
Watching those 66 clips got me looking back at synopses of that era. It occurred to me in developing those storylines Bill Bell created triangles w/o villians. Even if people did bad things, their actions were explained, if not justified. Take Marie marrying Craig but still yearning for Tony. Nowadays, Craig would probably be scheming against his son,eg paying some hooker to romance Tony and have Marie find out, or Tony would go psycho and try to bump off his dad. People weren't schemers in those days, just flawed people who made selfish or misguided actions. It's a world away from the Days of today. Such a pity...

Y&R May 2022 Discussion Thread
They are at the forefront in the ever changing media landscape. Headed by Billy Abbott's compelling personal podcast which is creating conversations around entitled rich boy screwups. Then there is something to do with fashion and selective in depth reportage on goings on in a small mid western town that somehow other parts of the country (and the world?) are enthralled by. All run from apartments ,restaurants and one office with no staff.

Primetime ratings from the 70's
The 75-76 season was an interesting one on many levels. ABC went into the season in perennial 3rd place, coming off a poor 74-75. The big news early in the season was CBS struggling,with NBC in first pace. But ABC was slowly gaining momentum. Going into the season they had Six Million Dollar Man on Sunday night that was winning it's timeslot once Cher on CBS started to falter. Their one new hit was Starsky and Hutch Wed @10 up against faltering Petrocelli on NBC and new season flop Kate McShane on CBS. As the season wore on Happy Days began to blossom inching closer to Good Times on CBS. That helped Welcome Back Kotter at 8.30 as did CBS moving MASH to Friday that season and replacing it with Joe & Sons which struggled. CBS regained their lead and it was NBC that slipped, leaving second place to ABC on many weeks. ABC then made some mid season moves which propelled it into 1st place for the first time ever. Laverne & Shirley had the highest rating new series debut in 10 years 35.1/49. Before that Happy Days hit it's highest rating ever 32.0/46 On Wed Bionic Woman hit the top 10 every week. On Jan 28 26.0/41 which pushed follow up Baretta to its season high 26.8/39 Donny and Marie was sheduled Fri @ 8 and was the first show to challenge Sanford and Son. It benefitted from NBC moving Chico &The Man and replacing it with The Practice which wasn't as strong a follow up to Sanford. Rich Man,Poor Man debuted in 2 2hour episodes Sun and Mon 22.1/35 and 26.2/39. ABC was on it's way with Charlie's Angels, Love Boat, Three's Company etc coming up.
