Re Gail Strickland add Guiding light Edge of Night One Life to Live All pre 1973

Agnes addressing Loving's focus. they didn't really hold to that for long. ''Loving,'' television's newest soap opera or daytime serial, will make its debut on Monday from 11:30 A.M. to 12 noon. ''For the first time,'' says Agnes Nixon, who created it, ''we have a college campus as a story's focal point. This is new for a serial. You need, for the sake of the story, something like a market place. That's why a lot of folks have a hospital. We're going to have a college campus because we think it is a microcosm of life today. You have - from the oldest tenured professor to the youngest freshman - all the range of emotions and the social and economic strata. It also appealed to us because college students are such fans of the soaps and we want to have them feel that they are being represented.''

No need to apologize. Really enkoy reading pposters' perspectives. The thing about Loving's ongoing changes is that it allows us to see how BTS shakeups affect onscreen happenings. More stable shows are less interesting in that respect.

Gotta mention Deborah here as she played out the original Jill/John story - intro of the Abbotts and carried Jill successfully in that direction. Even the glimpse we have seen of Bond impressed me - testament to the character of Jill that the recasts over almost 50 years have kept her alive.

Peggy's son Johnny could have been aged and taken the place of Kelly, who was a retconned character (Ed's godson?) Fran's Peggy could be living out of town and Johnny would naturally stay with the Bauers, who raised Peggy. Peggy could visit from time to time. When did Fran start writing soaps?

Re Jack Armstrong B.D. thomas - Eden (Playboy Channel soap ) 92-93

I remember when Deborah returned. I had always loved her take on Jill and here she was in the middle of the divorce interpreting the script as the Jill she knew, so we went from BD's Norma Desmond to DA's more grounded performance. My recollection is of her in Jill's hotel suite set wearing pants and a blouse, way more subdued than Brenda's costumes.

Tough gig to sub for La Cooper. i remember Patience Cleveland who presented more like Mom Foster.

Re David Andrew MacDonald He had a day player role on AW prior to Loving

Re Kristine DeBell She had an earlier role on Y&R as a runaway. I believe this was either Sharon or Julie in the Rose DeVille story of 79. Dawn Jeffory played the other runaway
