Interesting. I have never heard of them.A quick look at Jason 47's page doesn't shed much light as none of them are listed in the 1971 cast.
Elaine had 2 eps in 1970 and Howard got 4 but there is no mention of the parents.
They look like a forerunner to the Grant family.
I wonder what the story is here? Did Bill Bell have plans that changed due to network feedback?
Hope someone can shed light on this mystery...

"I'm Gonna Live Till I Die" Wasn't that the title of Katherine's biography penned by the multi talented Amber??
That was a very upbeat version.I remember a much more maudlin rendition given the full Katherine treatment by La Cooper,complete with waving hands and quavering voice.

Stu and Marge had a son Jimmy when the show started and a daughter Janet,who was around the same age as Jo's daughter Patti.
Jimmy was seldom seen and then in the early 60's it was stated that Jimmy was actually Stu's nephew.His mother,Stu's sister Monica arrived and wanted him back. I think she was successful and that was the last we saw of them.
Later,in the 70's when Jo got involved with Greg Hartford,it was stated that Stu blamed Greg for the death of his sister Louise many years ago.I think this was the first mention of her.
Stu's mother Jessie came on and married Jo's father late 50's/early 60's.
Stu and Marge had a late in life son Stuart Jr.He later became known as Tom.
Marge died in 71 and 5 years later Stu married Ellie.
Janet's first husband was Bud,Jo's cousin.They had a son Chuck. She then married Dan Walton and left town.When she returned she now had two teenage children Liza and Gary and there was no mention of Chuck..Later they had a son Danny.Dan died and Janet married Wade Collins,who also died.
Liza had a son with Travis, her second husband and Gary had a son with Laine Adamson,Sunny's sister.
Suzy was Jo's niece from Eunice's marriage to Doug Martin.Doug died and Eunice married John.Eunice died and John married Stephanie.John died and Jo and Stephanie fought for custody of Suzi.

John,
I have yet to see a reference for Coe Norton's earlier role on Love of Life.It may have been John Dennis or quite possily another role as it was not unusual on soaps for an actor to return after a few years in another role,if the first one was fairly minor.
In 1959 the character of Bruce was introduced as a teacher at Rosehill Academy so John Dennis quite possibly could have been introduced then also.

I have never seen the Tom Kane character mentioned in story summaries,bit assume he is the father of Nick Kane played by Keith Charles.
The character of Nick was married to Joan,played by Christina Crawford,whose mother Joan famously replaced her daughter for a few episodes and played a 24 yr old housewife.

In 1968 he also appeared on Secret Storm as Tom Kane.

The John Dennis character was revealed to be the real father of Alan Sterling. I don't know how much you know of the characters and storyline John. Vanessa discovered that Bruce's deceased wife Gaye had had an affair with John and Alan was the result. Van kept that a secret so as not to bring up the past and upset people,including Gaye's mother Vivian,who idealised her late daughter. Not sure if John was aware of that fact.
Hope this helps.

April 76
Llanview's newest nightspot, Tony's Place, is set to open in a few weeks. The club's owner, and namesake, is radiating with happiness and enthusiasm. He can't believe it, but the moment has finally arrived. There's only one thing missing, the woman who gave him the confidence and guts to continue with the project won't be there to share the moment with him. Cathy Craig will not go back to Tony unless he changes the terms of their relationship; Tony, seeking permanence in his wife, will not back down fro his marriage or nothing stand. It's sad because they still feel deep love for each other and it's only the arch-villain pride which keeps them apart.
Tony's club is not the only thing he has born. He has also fathered a child and it's Pat's deep, dark secret that Tony is Brian's real daddy -- and it's a secret that's getting harder and harder to keep. She sees the developing friendship between Brian and Tony and wonders how much longer it will be before Tony starts noticing the resemblance between him and Brian. Pat knows she has to tell Tony but she has yet to find the strength to do so.
It's a rather ordinary afternoon in the life of Llanview's Lanasheen Lady, Wanda Wolek. She has brought her little black bag over to Cathy's house to show the young woman the latest cosmetic innovations from the Lanasheen Corporation. The time is being passed rather pleasantly until... like a clap of thunder the air vibrates with a bellowing: "What's going on here?" Wanda knows -- all too well -- who this bellow belongs to and she's not at all surprised to see Vinny standing in the corner of the room. She knows how Vinny feels about women working -- especially his woman -- and she's been living in constant fear about her "little career" being discovered; but now that it's out in the open she feels nothing but relief. Wanda knows the time has come to fight for what she wants.
It's going to be a loud "Kick-in-the-gut-aim-for-the-jugular" sort of fight but Wanda hopes to win it. She knows she's not the sort of woman who can just dawdle around the home. In fact, she now has the chance to trade in her Lanasheen bag for a more prominent position as an assistant manager at Tony's restaurant. Tony's still holding the job open for her saying she's the only one who can handle it.
Vinny Sees the Light
It may be hard to believe but Vinny has backed down from his "my wife will never work" position. Wanda knows exactly what buttons to push to open her husband's eyes to reality. She tells him that, whether he wants to believe it or not, they need the extra income. Vinny relents and Wanda accepts the job as assistant manager at Tony's club.
Opening Night at Tony's Place
It has finally happened. The dream has become a reality. Tony's Place has opened to the public. Opening night is a glittery, gala affair. Tony is quite pleased and happy to see such a large turnout for, what he feels is the greatest triumph in his life. The moment is made equally memorable by the appearance of the Lord party -- headed by none other than the man himself, Victor! It can't be put into words the joy Tony feels when he sees his father walk in the door.
But into everyone's life -- and memorable moments -- a little rain must fall, and in Tony's case this rain came in the appearance of Cathy Craig, and her date, Peter Janssen. Jealousy runs rampart in Tony's soul when he sees the interest Cathy expresses in her date.
Dorian Does Her Thing
Dorian's wickedness seems to be working overtime. She seems to be trying to win the Gold Medal in the "Terrible Trickster" competition. She sees Tony and Victor trying to reach out towards one another and she fabricates a story destined to keep them apart. Poor, trusting Victor believes Dorian when she says he has high blood pressure and any undue excitement might be damaging to his health. (He wanted to see Tony to apologize for leaving his opening night bash so abruptly). Dorian orders Victor to rest and says she'll bring Tony a note of apology.
But she does no such thing, all she brings to Tony's Place is the same story she laid on Victor. Tony knows Dorian all too well and he takes this story with a grain of salt. He decides to got o Llanfair to see for himself.
Pat couldn't do it. She couldn't tell Tony that he's Brian's father. This torturous secret still remains locked in her soul.
Devious Dorian's Deeds Unveiled
Tony's sick and tired of Dorian's games. He feels it's about time that Victor got her number. He barges into Llanfair and tells Chapin he's not leaving until he sees his father. It's not a long wait. Victor dresses in a flash when he learns Tony is downstairs in the library.
It's a warm and serene moment between father and son but it doesn't last too long. The mood changes when Tony learns Dorian never game him the note of apology Victor told her to write. Tony then finds it necessary to let his father know about the countless other ways Dorian tried to keep them apart. Tony finishes his "enlightening talk" with this zinger: "Dorian knew long before you did that I was your son. She and Matt McCallister worked together to keep this information from you." Tony tells his father if he doesn't want to believe him, he can check what he just said with Chapin, Matt or Dorian, herself.
When Tony leaves, Victor checks out his story with Chapin. Much to his dismay, he learns that Tony's words are true. Victor then places calls to his lawyer and Matt McCallister. Neither one of them are there, but Victor leaves word that it's most urgent he talk to them.
Victor Collapses
Victor's never to speak with these people for his talk with Dorian has disastrous consequences. Victor was half hoping that she would deny all charges, but instead his darling wife admits everything adding: "You want the truth, here's the truth. Yes, I did know before you that Tony was your son. I didn't tell you because I consider him a threat. I knew I'd be tossed out in the cold if you ever found your son. I only married you for something I vowed to attain when I was discharged from the staff of the hospital: money, power, and position!" These words are too much to bear. A pained look crosses Victor's face as he stumbles, then collapses on the couch.
Victor and Dorian Fight for Their Lives
Victor is brought to Llanview Hospital suffering from a massive stroke. He's the latest casualty of Dorian's savage mouth. It's his wife's powerful, truthful words which, spoken only moments before, cause his blood pressure to skyrocket and the stroke to occur.
Dorian hopes to the heavens that Victor doesn't come out of the coma. She knows if Victor opens his eyes, it's all over for her. Dorian doesn't look forward to returning to a life lacking in position, wealth, and power.
Little Miss Evil-Doer has been covering her tracks rather well. When Victor's friends and family question how the stroke occurred, Dorian puts the whole blame on Tony. She says when she returned to Llanfair, she saw Victor was in a very agitated state. He told her he just met with Tony. She didn't have a chance to say but three words to him, when Victor collapsed on the couch.
Tony Suffers Regrets
Though Tony doesn't buy Dorian's words completely, he knows he can't prove otherwise. Dorian's too crafty and sly to leave any open spaces in which he can see the truth (the damning truth, that she's responsible for Victor's stroke!) Even though Tony doesn't hold himself initially to blame, he still feels regrets over opening his big mouth in the first place.
Even in the worst of situations some good can emerge, and in this case it's the reuniting of two lovers. Cathy hears about Tony's guilt-ridden state and rushes to his side. Tony's glad to have his woman back and they spend the afternoon in bed reconciling.
Jenny Starts Her New Life
Peter gets through the thick shell of mourning Jenny has encased herself in and pushes her back into life. He offers her a job as a nurse at the free clinic and Jenny accepts.
Another one of Peter's friends is also going to be working at the clinic. Dorian has joined the staff as a doctor.

Cindy came on in May 1970 and Groom played Russ until Sept 71 so they were together a decent amount of time.
