Cathy Craig was a role that kept being recast. Whether it was due to actors leaving or TPTB not happy with some of then J don't know. Maybe someone has more info? Looking at that clip makes me wish there had been more effort to keep the families going. Killing off Meredith and then Victor, not committing to Tony Lord, giving Larry only one child, dropping Cathy. Maybe Vinnie and Wanda could have adopted etc

I would assume that ATWT was not shown on some affiliates and viewers either missed it or were able to watch it on another affiliate if they lived in a particular area that could pick up both stations. I don't believe that stations had a late night showing of a pre-empted episode until years later.

Variety August 1947 Martha Alexander, headwriter for Second Mrs Burton has seen ratings rise in her two months on the job. Show has jumped from 38th to 21st. She wanted to change both female and male leads but sponsors prevailed and Dwight Weist was retained. Alexander wanted Les Tremayne. Lead actress Claire Neilson will be dropped and new actress retained on a week to week basis. Actresses up for the job included Ginger Jones and Jone Allison. Meanwhile meeting has been set between writer and execs to discuss the whole direction of the show. * Patsy Campbell, who had been playing Louisa ascored the role of Terry Burton and played it for 8 years. From what I can gather, Martha Alexander was headwriter for about 6 months.

Feb 1955 A proposed TV version of the long running radio serial. It would be years before ABC got into the soap business, John L. Clark is casting this week at Trans -American in New York for several roles for his Life Can Be Beautiful pilots (5 quarter-hours) for ABC. Bill Marceau will direct the scripts by Carl Bixby. Roles to be set include "ChiChi," a petite young girl, uncultured as the story opens; "Papa David," her father; "Stephen," a young cripple, 28-30, living with Papa David, "Mendoza," a hard character, in his late 30's and "Toby," about 25.

I think you are thinking of John Aniston who appeared at that time. Joe Mascolo was on Where The Heart Is in the late 60's.

Re Rena Sofer Her first soap role was one day stint on The Bold and The Beautiful.

Yes I meant a replacement in the sense that Georgia took on Jessie's lines , not the role itself.

A mini hospital story to give GH employees something to do.Where was Steve during that crisis? I read that Georgia was cast as a replacement for Jessie when EM was unable to work, but here they are in the same ep. Maybe it was later on that Georgia took over from Jessie?

i double checked and it is in fact Patricia Bosworth in those two roles.

Somewhere along the line Douglass added that extra s to his name... Live TV - love that moment when the stagehand appears on set and a pair of arms grabs him out of camera range. Thanks for sharing!

Wasn't the comparison GL vAL and SFT v OLTL? Over his tenure Marland slowly dropped a lot of the Dobson's characters. Elizabeth, Rita, Holly, Lucille, Diane, Roger, Sara, Steve, Adam, Barbara. Some of these were the actor's choice or network dictates. He did have a dilemma with some of the older characters as Barbara, Steve and Adam had no family left on the show so it was difficult to include them and they were probably drawing hefty salaries due to vet status. Marland would probably been happy to weave them in somehow but was overruled. But he kept Alan, Hope, Ben,Amanda, Jackie, Eve, Ross in the mix so the show didn't seem overrun with newbies. The big mistake was dropping Mike, Hope, Ben, Amanda, Hilary, Floyd,Eve, Katie, Morgan, Kelly etc fairly suddenly and turning the show over to Reva, etc. Marland had set up the Reardons as the complimentary long term family to the Bauers but they began dropping like flies also. And the succeeding teams then began chipping away at those newish characters and those from previous regimes until there was mismash of chracters and fragmented families.
