I wonder if the ex con was John Hughes, Chris and Edith's brother? It certainly fits the character and timeline.

Re Ted Danson he has 2 other Somerset roles Dr Larson Temp replacement as Jerry Kane re Alison Argo Rhoda - Edge of Night

Don't recall seeing this pic before. Peggy (Fran Myers) just faded away .I believe she was last seen in 79? was she given any kind of exit?

Why would they do that and why would anybody buy it? Like who would be spending money on Y&R's background music?

Re carrie genzel Her B&B nurse was named Melinda. She was on the list of my next requests, and here they are Ted Danson Diane McBain Camila Ashland David Andrew McDonald Alison Argo Robert Christian Kevin McCarthy

Exactly. That music was such apart of Y&R. Today's stuff is so generic.

Re Kim Hamilton Add Executive Suite - Elly Gibson #2 re Hilda Haynes Her Executive Suite character was Bessy Johnson

Re Peter Donay Add pilot Delta County - John McCain Jr

Re Helen Funai Add Behind The Screen - Jeanie

Re James Karen According to his SOD interview he was on Love of Life 51/52 and also appeared on Guiding Light, Another World and Edge of Night.

i believe Meg Baldwin on GH in the late 60's had a mastectomy.

Carl Low (Dr Bob Rogers from the mid 60's and till the end of the 70's) lamented to SOD in 1980 that he wished SFT would write him out rather than use him occasionally as he wanted to land another soap gig but felt he was too identified with his Search role.

Andrea Moar (Carrie Sanders AMC) tested for the role of Kim on RH a full year before landing AMC. ABC liked her so much they put her on option which meant a salary while they looked for roles for her.

Barbara Rodell (Joyce AYWT etc) came close to landing a part in the original Loving cast - maybe June Slater?

Re Capitol Add Lee Crawford - unknown role Gina Major (ex Miss Pennsylvania) - croupier in gambling scene 1985

Re Lee Crawford She also appeared on Capitol pre 86

Jeanne always had those cue cards in sight...

Sept 15-19 1969 CBS 8.8/35 NBC 7.3/29 ABC 6.2/25 That was the week CBS launched Where The Heart Is

Came across some ratings for 'The Survivors' Lana Turner's primetime soap that was cancelled mid season amongst poor ratings and backstage turmoil. Mon @9 Survivors ABC 21.8/30 Mayberry RFD/Doris Day CBS 13.2/18 (repeats) Laugh In NBC 35.8/50 Movie NBC 25.0/35 So there was some initial interest in the show but once CBS went to first run...

Hope ratings nerds out there might enjoy a look back to the days of 3 networks fighting it out. I'm going to try to keep to a chronological order. Ratings delivery wasn't as instant or comprehensive back then so not as detailed as later years. ABC was perennial third place in the early 70's as NBC tried to wrest the #1 spot from perennial leader CBS. Top 10 week ending Jan 25 1970 NBC won that week 1. My Sweet Charlie NBC (Tuesday TV movie with Patty Duke and Al Freeman (Ed OLTL) 2. Hombre ABC Sunday Movie The other top 10 shows that week CBS Harlem Globetrotters Special Here's Lucy Gunsmoke Red Skelton NBC Laugh In Texas Across the River (Monday Movie) Julia Walt Disney Week ending Feb 1 1970 NBC 20.3/32 CBS 20.0/31 ABC 17.8/28 1. Circus Special NBC 2. Danny Thomas Special CBS NBC had another Top 10 special World of the Beaver (!)

Reviving this thread Ann Magaret tried for primetime with Four Corners, which was canned after 3 eps

On GL, Frank Grillo tested for Zachary before landing the part of Hart Jessup. Shari Shattuck was in talks for Ashley on Y&R when Eileen Davidson left but decided she didn't want to commit to a contract role so never screen tested. When Brenda Epperson left the role her circumstances had changed and she tested and landed the role of Ashley,.

Veteran actress June Havoc and Bethel Leslie (Maggie TD etc) both tested for Meta Bauer which went to Mary Stuart.
