I'm surprised Amybrickwallace hasn't posted this one. Amy, what did you think of Amy's dress?

I think Ron and Nancy Becker used this photo for their Xmas card.

The late Joan Copeland in a CBS publicity shot as Andrea

From the 'It's a small world TV department'. Pamela Lincoln and Paul Carr in a 1959 episode of Zane Grey theater. I wonder how often an actor would join the cast of a soap only to be find other performers they had previously worked with, even if only for a week or so which would have been the case here.

Well he was listed as a medic/criminologist so maybe for a particular case he needed to be armed? Donald Woods was playing Walter on Portia Faces Life at least as early as April 54 so I don't imagine he would have been part TSH which began in July. Maybe what you read was a mixup b/w the two shows?

But is it not something that should be explored or even mentioned? Mariah and Devon have both been given a voice regarding their parental feelings but not a wimper from Chelsea. Is Johhny aware that he has a bio mom-who was married to his uncle? Surely Johnny and Connor would interact at family birthdays and such?

2 weeks before the show was to premiere CBS was sending out publicity photos with the show still titled 'The Storm Within'. Didn't realize the name changed happened so late.

Re Bradley Hawkes This photo of Scott Forbes also resembles the guy with the holster,don't you think? Let's do some more digging...

Mariah carried the child for 9 months and went through a traumatic kidnapping that resulted in a unplanned 'home' birth. she bravely tried to self care and protect 'Bowie' Her subsequent attachment to the child was pretty much condemned by all concerned and she had to shape up quicksmart. Meanwhile Devon makes a quickie deposit (what? maybe 20 mins depending on the porn at hand)and yet he's allowed access and custody because his feels are more important. Devon needs to chat with Chelsea and Adam .They both have kids (Johnny and Christian) that they couldn't give a toss about. Those two are going to grow up and be like- My mom/dad was living in town and regularly crossed path with my 'parents' (Billy and Nick)and had no interested in having anything to do with me, but were full on parents to their other kid (Connor).

Sally Sussman seemed to be making stuff up as she went along. If Graham was going to be Ashley's next love, then plans were changed drastically. There were no other possibilities for Ashley. The best she could do in terms of new characters was Scott Grainger and his involvement with Abby and Sharon. Remember Scott was going to write a biography of Victor and then one day it was all off. Very Josh Griffith move. Would love to hear what really went on in Sussman/Alden era.

They could all move to the same retirement home ! Days would own the 55plus demo.

Pheobe should have started a used wig salon in Pine Valley.

For Your Consideration...Robin Strasser as Vivian Days

I guess the confusion came about because she was announced as lead taking the place of Alice Frost, it was assumed she played Ruth Evans Wayne. I got that info from a biography of Ruth Chatterton. June Travis Affairs of Anthony Mimsey Lawrence Waterloo Junction Merrilee Thunder Over Paradise

Re Ruth Chatterton She played herself on Big Sister in a 3 week stint in July 1939. Alice Frost who played Ruth Evans Brewster Wayne was on vacation so Ruth stepped into the lead role for that time, but not as the same character. In the story Ruth Chatterton, movie star,was a friend of Dr John Wane (Martin Gabel)

Eva LaRue tested foe Sheila on Y&R.

Clayton appears to not have any work done (or minimal)

This is cute. Bill and Susan have a new project, where they share the secrets to their nearly 50 year marriage. Bill's grandson came up with the concept and appears at the start of each clip before the Hayes' talk about one aspect of their relationship and use a clip of Doug and Julie to demonstrate their point.

Some 70's GH characters Dr Pierre Namath Mr Bannister lawyer for Mrs Galvin Joe Galvin suicidal patient Peter Taylor 1976 Mac Cam Faulkner's associate 1976 Jenny Flanders patient who had drug overdose and miscarriage Harvey Pason (Parson?) orderly who supplied Jenny drugs

In one of the synopses maybe 76/77 it read like a romantic merry go round. Sandy was interested in Bob, who showed some interest in Valerie who was possibly interested in Dan etc They just seemed to be teasing all these relationships but nothing concrete was being set up.

Gonna kickstart this thread and give some guys the spotlight Jeff Trachta is 61. The second photo is from a few years back. 1986
