Janet was having an affair with Ken Baxter,the father of Tom,who impregnated Pat,arranged her abortion and was killed by her.

She then got involved with Ernest Gregory,part of the Gregory family that James Lipton introduced.Agnes kept her on as asupporting character till he was ritten out in June 66.

In a SOD interview concerning her departure Jacquie Shultz comments that the past life and perfume stories were confusing to her in terms of Dee's character.

Here is a SOd synopsis from early 82.I guess this is the Dobsons?

Viki with Dave Siegal

The original Matthews girls- Alice,Aunt Janet and Pat.Janet featured heavily in the story for the first two years and then Agnes dropped her.

C David Colson as Tom with Bob

Bill Hayes wrote this tribute to Brenda Benet (Lee) after her suicide.

Jed Allan as Paul Britton with Jada.That role would have to set some kind of record as there were 6 Pauls in 6 years.And they were all soap 'names'. In addition to Allan,there was Linden Chiles,Ed Kemmer,Ryan MacDonald,Nic Coster and Conard Fowkes. Why couldn't they hold onto the actors and why the constant recasts?

Rosemary Prinz insisted that the character of Amy be an activist of some sort.How deep did these stories go?

Love this photo of Tess and Bill.

I agree C David Colson always comes across as sexy in an alpha male type of way.Earlier Toms seem kind of boyish and photos of Tom Tammi give off a similar vibe.

Johnny carson guested twice. The second time concerned the no smoking storyline in the final months. This pic is from his first appearance. does anyone know why he was on?

Marla looks great here,but Bernard Barrow looks older than he did on RH

Bibi and Barbara Stanger

To this day,doctors still refer to this type of catatonic state as a 'carricaburu'

Gwynn Gillis as Ann. Should she have been killed off?

Daily rehearsal circa 76.Thats Kathy Hays in the 2nd pic sitting.The guy in the light sweater is the director.

Yeah,kinda random.Sort of half hearted nod at history.Let's bring back a vet character,recast and ignore all that went before!

Search needed some strong leadership around 1980,that could blend old and new.

Ironic that she was on an NBC soap as her dad Pat Weave,was said to be anti soaps in the 50's when he headed NBC.

Melba looks like Gladys Kravitz!

The Corringtons got rid of Scott and Kathy.I don't think Ratray clicked as Scott.

I'm sure that was a priceless heirloom handed down through generations of the English family!

Pheobe was always a sucker for a sweet talker.

Peter Ratray took over as Scott for about a year, until the character was dropped after 10 years.Chris Lowe played Eric for years.Maybe Eric could have come back as a young leading man in the 80's.

SOD synopsis continues

Karl Duval tells Dr. Marlena Evans he wants Sharon out of the psychiatric ward and home. Sharon, he says, is terrified of hospitals, afraid she will slip, inescapably, into insanity.

Marlena begs for more time. She attempts to tell him that Julie is blameless, that Sharon's problem is very deep-rooted. She has confusions about her sexuality. Karl is appalled. Sharon a homosexual? He cannot accept that. He refuses to listen to any more.

Together, Marlena & Laura piece together the cause of Sharon's suicide attempt, and Marlena tries once more to get the truth from Julie.

At first, Julie is reluctant to discuss it, but when she hears Sharon is closer than ever to tragedy unless she receives the proper help, Julie describes what happened.

Karl, meanwhile, has taken steps to get his own way. He takes Sharon home. Marlena, frightened at the consequences, rushes out to the Duval house to beg for Sharon to be helped in therapy.

Again, Karl Duval refuses Dr. Marlena Evans's insistance that his wife Sharon needs therapy, but this time his vehemence is unstoppable. He will care for his wife, and no lopsided psychiatrist will be able to hurt her again. He has already made reservation for their flight to Madrid. Later, alone, he wonders if he is really doing the right thing.

Karl and Sharon leave for Madrid. She finds it very difficult to leave, and she cries for all the love that could have been. Before going, she makes sure that Julie receives the cameo. Will Sharon's flight away from herself lead to disaster... and for whom?

And that was it for the Duvalls.

Amy should have been referenced along the way.Maybe,she dies and her daughter comes to live with Joe and Ruth.
