Charles Grodin and Maria Palmer (?)

Mike and Leslie should have had a son to have more Bauers available to keep the family going.

Ok thanks Didn't realize she had been mentioned. In what context has she been talked about?

We are nearing the end of the Pollock's 5 year run as headwriters. I wonder what were the circumstances of them leaving? I have read that GH poached them? Interesting to see what changes occur. I know MJ is on the way (June/July). Is she a Pollock creation or the first of the new writers?

Neither is Don Hastings, so for whatever reason they were not available for the shoot.

Velekka Grey as Laura

Bethel Leslie and Elizabeth Hubbard

Re Carol, this is what I thought regarding her coming and goings, but there she is in a cast photo in 1971 and Irna Phillips did not return till Jan 72 according to newspaper reports of that time.

Well Barbara Rodell was busy on ATWT as Joyce by that stage so not available to reprise Leslie.

Variety says Donna Wandrey came on in Dec 71. So perhaps Stanger was on for a short time in 71.Maybe that got her noticed by CBS and they poached her for LIAMST?

Judi Rollin and Barbara Stanger are both listed as playing Barbara.

This Afternoon TV Cover is dated June 72. Probably on sale May 72 and reflecting events of a few months previous. So Tom and Barbara are being highlighted, yet by July 72, Tom is marrying Carol. classicsodcovers **BONUS** Afternoon TV (Cover Date: June 1972) Donna Wandrey & Peter Galman (Barbara & Tom, AS THE WORLD TURNS) 9 notes Oct 1st, 2017 MORE YOU MIGHT LIKE **BONUS** Afternoon TV (Cover Date: June 1972) Donna Wandrey & Peter Galman (Barbara & Tom, AS THE WORLD TURNS)

That was the worst episode by far this season.

To add to the Rita/Carol timeline mystery... This TV Guide cover from August 71 shows Rita in the group,so it appears that she was on the show around that time which is months before Irna rejoined.

Love Jay with the wheelbarrow of rocks!!

I believe it is 1956. Not sure who the actors/characters are?

These ratings show the decline in CBS dominance over a 2 year period as both NBC and ABC finally made inroads in daytime. 10-Noon 2 weeks ending April 3 1966 ABC 5.2 Supermarket Sweep/The Dating Game CBS 10.8 Lucy/Real McCoys/Andy Griffith/Dick Van Dyke NBC 6.2 EyeGuess/Concentration/Morning Star/Paradise Bay 2 weeks ending March 31 1968 ABC 1.4 Dick Cavett CBS 6.1 Candid Camera/Beverly Hillbillies/Andy Griffith/Dick Van Dyke NBC 6.4 Snap Judgement/Personality/Concentration/Hollywood Squares Dick Cavett was a huge flop for ABC, while CBS reruns were growing tired.Hollywood Squares would have been a big part of NBCs rise.
