Robert Hogan became Phil Brewer #3 when the actor playing the role Rick Falk was injured at home and required a body cast. Hogan,who had recently been on cancelled sister ABC soap Young Marrieds was quickly enlisted to play Phil.

Darlen Conley auditioned for the role of Ruby on GH that went to Norma Connelly.

Just watched Mary Stevens MD from 1933 and starring Kay Francis, who was Warner Brothers biggest female star until Bette Davis usurped her. Very enjoyable.A lot packed into 75 minutes.

Whether Rick took Craig's place or not,there was still room for that character. He could have gone in any direction and had ties to Barbara, Kim, Bob and John

Julius La Rosa,50's singer and TV performer died May 12 aged 86. In 1980 he played Renaldo and received a daytime Emmy nom for best supporting actor.

Just looking at a Cleveland TV listing for Thannksgiving Thursday Nov 28 1957 and the CBS affiliate WJW has ATWT on delay at 5pm! I wonder if that's the latest it was ever shown? A lot of viewers might be seeing it for the first time...

Khan.what do you think comparing these shots of both actors? This is a 1965 shot of James Karen.Some similarity to the photo above. The smaller shot is the best I can find of Paul Dumont 5 years later on SFT Maybe Getty has it mislabelled. James Karen was out (for whatever reason) by March 1970 as he was in the original cast of Best of Everything. Paul Dumont took over until Nicholas Pryor was cast. Linc was written out and then Peter White took over in 74.

Paul Dumont (Linc Tyler #2) with Rosemary Prinz (Amy) This was sometime between March and June of 1970.

1981 - GH brings back Audrey's sister Lucille for one episode. Lucille Wall had been on from the first year until the mid 70's.

An iconic Dynasty moment...

Billy Magnussen (Casey ATWT) has a featured role in the new Susan Sarandon (Patrice AWA) movie 'The Meddler' which BTW is well worth seeing. Also features Laura San Giacomo (Louisa ATWT)

Interesting (and odd!) I can't see why Search would air a 30 min ep and then revert to 15 min for 2 days. Hopefully someone has an explanation.

I like the idea of a Mac/Rachel/Alice story. It would have added an extra twist to the drab amnesia story.
