Ronn Moss update https://www.canberratimes.com.au/national/act/ronn-moss-s-intimate-evening-in-canberra-20190221-p50zbi.html When RonnMoss speaks about Hollywood, it's worth listening. Born and raised in the haze and heat of Los Angeles and a survivor of the voracious appetite of the world's most popular soap opera, Moss has chosen to edge away from the the epicentre of entertainment. He quit The Bold and the Beautiful in 2012 after an incredible 25 years playing fan favourite Ridge Forrester. And it's only now he's prepared to talk about the real reason he did leave. (More on that in a moment.) Moss moved out of Los Angeles, just ever so slightly, but enough to make a difference, to Ventura County to the north. And while he is about to embark on a tour of Australia performing his music and telling stories about his life and career, Moss seems very happy to have said goodbye to Hollywood. When asked how someone survives sane and healthy for so long in Tinsel Town, Moss is blunt. "You don't. Sane and Hollywood are not two things that go in the same sentence," he said. "I always consider myself down-to-earth and I think that's why I moved the hell out of Hollywood. "I grew up in Hollywood, I've been there most of my life and I moved out into a little bit of the countryside to get out of Hollywood and I can't stand going back. It's hard for me to go back. "But the insanity of Hollywood has just gotten worse to me. So I separate myself." It's not the Ronn Moss we're used to, this is someone a little more serious and introspective. We're more used to those tongue-in-check appearances on Rove when he'd joke about his ponchos and re-enact those suspenseful mid-distance stares on The Bold and the Beautiful. He's still got that sense of humour. But it's as if freed from the shackles of Ridge Forrester he can be more himself, more candid. So fill us in, how has Hollywood become more insane? Exactly. "Oh, lots of ways. Politically, it's absolutely fricking insane," Moss said. "And the insanity of showbusiness, it makes me not want to be a part of it, because of some of the people that are involved in it. And then I think of the creative aspects of it, and I go, 'Okay, I'm doing it for my own creative reasons but I'm not going to take all that bullshit that people go through with, with Hollywood'.'' Ronn Moss turned 67 on March 4, his hair and drop-dead gorgeous cheekbones still in place."I don't want to talk too much about politics but there's a liberal insanity that has taken over Hollywood and for me, I'm sorry, but it is insanity. It defies logic, it defies human rationale. And I don't understand it."Is he talking about the #MeToo movement?"It's all of that. There's an insane sort of thing that's taken over," he said."And I know why it's happening but that would be far too long a conversation.... There's a force behind it that knows exactly what it's doing and everyone in Hollywood is falling for it"It's making them accuse everyone else of being racist and homophobic, whatever other adjectives you want to use, when they're actually the ones perpetuating it. I call it transference. Where you transfer to somebody else the very qualities that you are yourself projecting."But you transfer it to make sure everybody else is that way when, actually, it's you. That's kind of what's happening and it's happening on such a grand scale that I don't even want to go to Hollywood anymore." That much is clear.When Moss left The Bold and the Beautiful, he suggested it was simply time. And salary issues. But there was much more to it."I pretty much left Bold and the Beautiful because I felt I couldn't continue to do it,'' he said."I was in a pretty bad car accident which really debilitated my ability to keep going with that show. I think I'll probably talk about this when I come there for my shows because people keep asking and they don't really know the real reason.''The accident was in July, 2012, around the time he announced he was leaving The Bold and the Beautiful, a fixture of the soap since its inception in 1987"I kind of stayed mum about it because there was a legal aspect to it and the insurance. And I'm not one to complain, that's my problem. If I'd been one of the fricking complainers, then everyone would know, 'Oh, no, I was in an accident'," he said."I just kept that to myself because I didn't want to seem so much of a whinger. Is that an English term or is that an Australian term? Actor Ronn Moss has two adult daughters but is in no rush for grandchildren, telling his daughters to "go out and enjoy your lives"."I don't like doing that. My wife after the fact said, 'Why don't you tell people the real reason of what's going on?' and I was like, 'I don't want to whine about something like that'. I can't stand that."The accident virtually made it impossible for Moss to keep acting with the show."We got whacked really hard and I was kind of the centre of the storm and fractured my shoulder in three places and it gave me a bit of a concussion and it made it hard for me to memorise all the fricking dialogue we had to do on the show," he said."And I was just struggling for the last two weeks struggling to get through it, going, 'What the [!@#$%^&*] is going on with me?'. I lost all strength in my left hand, my left arm."And I went, 'Oh my God is this going to permanent? I don't know'. So a lot of things were compiling on me and I just went, 'I don't know if I can keep going on this show. I think I'm really at a loss here'. Because I'd never been in an accident before. I'd never had that experience before."The accident, as terrible as it was - he and his wife Devin DeVasquez were hit at full force by another vehicle while their car was stationary - it was a catalyst for change."This was just a facilitator for me to go and do something different," he said"The short story of it is, 'Things are thrown at you in life and you either pick up the ball and run with it or you try to fight against it'. And I wasn't going to fight against it, I was going to run.''He's certainly not in retirement mood. Moss turned 67 on March 4, a birthday he celebrated just ahead of his departure to Australia. He is producing movies in Europe. Keeping an eye on his two adult daughters - the boyfriends have been vetted. And excited to keep working and concentrating on his music.His show, called An Intimate Evening with Ronn Moss, will feature clips, stories and music from his career. He knew, at 11 years old, after watching The Beatles’ appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, that he wanted to play music, or be Ed Sullivan, or both.His band Player had a No.1 hit with Baby Come Back and toured with the likes of Eric Clapton, Heart and The Little River Band.Moss returns to Australia with his good friend, musician Jawn Star, performing alongside him, rather than a full band."We're going to do a very unplugged, very intimate, one-on-one thing with our Australian friends," he said.Moss' Bold and the Beautiful co-star Katherine Kelly Lang is also a regular visitor to Australia and recently appeared in the local version of, I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here! Would he consider doing that kind of show?"Over the last four years, they've asked me three times to do it and it's never really worked out,'' he said.Again, he says the car accident prevented him from doing I'm a Celebrity for Australian TV. It's a shame because, despite his more introspective musings, he seems like one Hollywood star who doesn't take himself too seriously."No, I definitely don't. And that's a trait I share with my Australian friends, just having a good sense of humour about things," he said.Ronn Moss appears at the Southern Cross Club in Woden on Thursday, March 21.

Some 70's pics that I don't believe have been posted before. That era seems to have no profile. The move to 60 min seems to have weakened the show. View large image (1144 x 1600)

Just finished reading Ed Zimmerman's novel 'Love in the Afternoon' published in 1971. At that time Zimmerman was playing Dr Joe Werner on TGL. It's a fun read and a look at soaps of that time and seems pretty much based on TGL. Actor Steven Prince is Daytime TV's brilliant but ruthless surgeon, Harlan Cross. Dr. Cross is a steely-eyed perfectionist, scheming to lure nice nurses into nefarious post-surgery seductions. Actor Prince is a near-sighted (can't even read the teleprompter) blunderer whose trick knee sometimes collapses in the middle of a tricky operation. The show is live and the moments lively as Prince copes with an assistant (actor) who can't keep his lines straight. . . or even memorized; a nurse (actress) who slaps his surgical gloves on backwards; an aging mother (aging super-star) who plans to really dominate the scenes; a love interest (sexy ingenue) who insists on dressing in his dressing room and a wife and mother (real) who sometimes get him confused with his character. It's a slight but sometimes very funny look at the traumas behind the souped up, soapy dramas. One character seems based on Stefan Schnabel (Dr Steve Jackson) In the book he's presented as an old sleaze, coming on to younger female co-stars, although it's supposed to be seen as amusing, in keeping with the times. He also details an aging Hollywood star coming on who makes a mess of dialogue and cues but always delivers on air. The only actress I could think of that might apply to is Jan Sterling who appeared on GL in Zimmerman's time frame(or maybe it was based on someone on another show that he heard about) Anyway it's a quick read and definitely worth it for soap history fans.

So it seems that there is no way of accessing TD apart from Retro broadcasts? We are now up to mid August 77 and as mentioned in the past Marland has taken the action away from Hope Memorial. The major stories revolve around the Dancys, none of whom have any association with the hospital. Only Matt, Maggie, Steve and MJ are in the medical field. Jessie is hardly seen and Mike is due to return to medicine. Jarrod who used to post here has started a blog with detailed daily summaries. I hope he doesn't mind me posting the link so those interested can keep up with the show and Marland's work. https://serialdigest.wordpress.com/

It is fascinating looking over primetime cast lists and seeing various actors crossing paths before and after soap stints.

Re 3 Steps to Heaven Add : Howard Smith , Ralph Stanley

Radio Ratings for 2 weeks ending Oct 23 1954 - to give you an idea of the popularity of particular shows at that time. 1. Ma Perkins 2. Arthur Godfrey 3.Young Widder Brown 4. Road of Life 5. Romance of Helen Trent 6. Stella Dallas 7. Arthur Godfrey 8. Arthur Godfrey 9.Our Gal Sunday 10. Perry Mason Regarding Arthur Godfrey appearing multiple times, I think each segment with a different sponsor is ranked separately.

14 yr olds should not be given storylines beyond their years... Watching this the problem for me is none of those characters were related to the core. Emily Srewart would have been the right age to be at the forefront of stories at this point. If they didn't want Susan back, Emily could have come to stay with Ellen and David while susan took a job in some far away land. Don Hughes' step daughters Alice and Debbie should have been kept around. So much easier to keep veterans relevant with young characters to play off.

No Greek connection with mike or Margo...I think it may have been some 70's New Age thing...Margo was a hippie chick.

I have included this in this thread as Joel was on Secret storm at that time. New York Times Nov 12 1970 WOR‐TV, Channel 9, which began a nightly half‐hour news cast on Monday, dismissed its theater and arts critic, Joel Crothers, five hours before he was to deliver his first review. Mr. Crothers, a working actor, was ordered not to make a scheduled air performance on Tuesday evening by WOR.‐TV's general manager, Michael Mc Cormick. Mr. McCormick said that while he did not question Mr. Crothers's integrity or ability, he believed that to have a professional actor review actors, producers and angels with whom he might have professional contact could create a conflict of interest and “our journalistic integrity would be questioned.” When it was announced several months ago that Mr. Crothers was to be Channel 9's critic, the fact that he was working actor with an “inside” knowledge of the theater was given is one of the reasons for his hiring. But Mr. McCormick and WOR‐TV's news director, Lem Tucker, agree that the question has gnawed at them constantly. Mr. McCormick said that when Mr. Crothers's name and qualifications were first brought to him “I seriously questioned the desirability of our placing a gentleman with his occupation and background in a major medium to critique the medium he could occupy.” Mr. Tucker said that Mr. McCormick had come to him and said that it looked like conflict of interest.” I disagreed and the subject was dropped,” Mr. Tucker went on. “It was brought up two other times. I disagreed and it was dropped. Monday night we promoted Joel for the Tuesday show. Tuesday afternoon Mr. McCormick came to the office and again went into the conflict of interest. said that knowing. Joel as I did I felt we ought to put him on a few times to see if he compromised himself or the station.” He said Mr. McCormick disagreed, and gave Mr. Tucker a “direct order, citing that he wanted us to be above suspicion.” Mr. Crothers was slightly bitter. The 29‐year‐old actor, who is appearing in the WCBS daytime serial “Secret Storm,” said: “I won't starve. And I'm healthy in the head.” He added, however, that he had turned down several readings for Broadway shows be cause of his WOR‐TV commitment “and if there's anything to be angry about, that's it.” He said that WOR was “foolish to think that as a working actor I would be subject to pressure. I just don't work that way.” He suggested wryly that “I probably set a new record for getting fired.” Tuesday's review was to have been of “Hay Fever” followed last night by “Two By Two.”

Days Mike and Margo - matching headpieces! What was that about?

Weird headpieces seemed to be an 80's soap thing

A picture of the bathroom but not the kitchen? I wonder where she moved to... She had a daughter I believe. Hope they are close and Kathryn is healthy and happy,

Good story. Wonder if he had been cast as Jeff, the role would have last longer? At first Peter Bergman was going to be Jeff but it was decided to make him a new character. I think they tried a couple more times with Jeff and then he was forgotten until John James. BTW Amy, nice to see you posting again!

Very early on.Peggy McKay and onscreen dad?

Re Secret storm John Fink's role was in 1966. He was from Grosse Point and the local newspaper reported he got a part on the show for his girlfriend Sharkey Finnerman (!)

Re SFT I looked through the list but didn't see Stefan Arngrim. According to a fan mag article he was on SFT for 18 months.He was around 6 at that time. That would mean around 1961/62 Possibly playing Jimmy Bergman?

Re Ben Jerrod Ep 19 included the character Charley Bender
