As well as Gerald Gordon, Anna Stuart was reunited with the Pollocks at GH. Doug Marland wrote a role for Geraldine Court on ATWT. He had worked with her on The Doctors and Guiding Light.

Gloria Monty employed David Lewis and Anthony Geary both of whom she knew from Bright Promise. She specifically sought out her friend John Collicos for roles on Secret Storm (Matthew Deveraux) and GH (Mikkos Cassidine)

Love of Life went to air Set 24 1951 - a few weeks later. I guess close enough for them to celebrate together.

Nancy Pinkerton who had played Dorian on OLTL during Doris Quinlan's reign as EP,joined The Doctors as Vivica,a similar character when Doris was EP there.

Roy Poole Search for Tomorrow pre 1967

Oops. Still thought it was poorly done.

John Wesley Shipp agreed to come back to daytime to ATWT after working with Doug Marland previously on GL.

I was excited for a minute but this is 79 not 76 and has been around for a while.

Another sub par episode IMO this week. Are there new writers? The Darlene sober sex story was awful.

Have to give kudos to the production team for the Italian set. A lot of space and detail. Recalls Y&R of the past.

She mentioned that when Kim took off for Greece and slept with Nick without the sanctity of marriage she received disapproving letters about her behaviour and Nick himself.

Have to agree with above sentiments. Drama is conflict but most of the couples are happily getting along w/o anything being set up to provide some angst further down the road.. Sharon/Rey (married for no reason in a drama free wedding) spend most of their time chatting about the Miami honeymoon we didn't see. Sharon Case seems a little off (maybe she's imbibing before her scenes to get through) Her concern for Mariah's situation is being played very offhand. Mariah/Tessa .Although the whole surrogate thing was amess at least we're seeing aconflict being played that makes some sense. Nick/Phyllis. While La Stafford munches the sets, Nick supports Phyllis and her snooping. Maybe Nick should be a little more annoyed? Devon/Amanda. Totally fine with him racing over to Abby on the first night she moves in. Perhaps some doubts she could confide to Imani about him fathering that child? Speaking of Imani, she's offscreen. Perfect spoiler for the drama free and rather boring Nate/Elena who sit around talking about nothing much. Abby should have some resentment of chance putting her into conflict with Nina. Faith/Moses-dates we don't see and not much else. Billy/Lily. He is insufferable.They're supposedly equals in Chance.com but he initiates everything and she shows mild concern or disapproval. She should really be wondering WTF she's doing with that loser. Micheal/Lauren-couldn't be happier. They had the chance to have Paul/Lauren be tempted into an affair to keep DD somewhat involved but preferred to drop him. And so on...

Well this was a time when 'relevance' was one of the soap trends. I think Love of Life had a 'drugs on campus' story around that time. Didn't Tom Hughes have a drug issue also around this time on ATWT?

irna was long gone by this stage. I believe Cenedella was writing at this point. The plots that appeared when Nixon's stories (which he inherited)began to run dry showed that Cenedella didn't have the same skills as his predecessor.

Thanks for that. I imagined she would have a 3 per week contract but probably worked more quite often. During the Hursley years it seemed Jo went backburner and kept to 3 a week but was more of a talk to. Mary wasn't happy about that but I could see the reasoning behind it-the show couldn't keep one character front and center forever.

Have always wondered about Mary and early Search. I don't recall her mentioning any particulars in her book, but surely her contract would have stipulated a limit on appearances. I imagine in the first few months she was on everyday, but once the show was somewhat established,Mary could have had some days off. Remember there were only a few scenes per 15 min episode,so Marge and Stu talking about something and Patti sharing scenes with her grandmother could fill a show without Jo onscreen.

So on Tues we suddenly have a detective to talk to Adam, an Italian concierge and an investigator to talk to Billy. And two new sets. After months of poverty. Hopefully the trend continues

Polly Rowles TV Guide has the character mentioned in 1965,so a part of the daytime version.

I stand corrected. There is another room to the villa.Very 'Italian' but quite an elaborate set. I think they will be getting a lot of use out of it.

Y&R Miss Lorie Brooks

He has been referring to treatment but like Sharon before him is holding up remarkably. No mention of how he can be jetting off to Italy whilst undergoing said treatments.

Just caught my first glimpse of Tuscan villa YIKES! Like Ashland's NY apartment it is a bedroom. Why? It's not like they had a million love/sex scenes in that set and I can't imagine that will happen here. Odd choice... They're going to have to have other Italian sets.

Been a while since I made a request, so here goes Jean Bruce Scott Yale Summers Brian Heidek Fay Hauser

Michael Kearney He was playing Petey in 1965
