Searched thru Love of Life but didnt see this one Tom Calloway as prisoner who tried to rape Ben in prison in 1977. He was married to Claire Malis (Dorian OLTL) and later went on to be a successful architect

Nick Benedict tested for Lance Prentiss on Y&R before landing the role of Michael Scott.

1974 Jim Cautsi fills in for Lou Criscuolo as Danny Micelli on Edge of Night

“I’m looking forward to learning new things about interior design and color. I’ve been traveling so much in the last number of years between All My Children and Dancing with the Stars in L.A. and Devious Maids in Atlanta,” the soap opera legend said in a release about her upcoming stint as guest co-host, which runs Jan. 30 through Feb. 3. “Now I’m looking around my house thinking I want to redo some rooms, so I’ll be happy to hear from the experts.” Judging by the pics posted of her last house, she definitely needs advice on interior decor! (Sorry Susan))

Thanks for sharing that. I had no idea that Catherine had married Todd Fisher.

Thank you for posting. Several characters mentioned that I was not aware of.Love uncovering this stuff!

Jeffery Hayden,who worked as a director on SB,as part of a long career died December 24 2015.He was married to Eva Marie Saint.

Lincoln Kilpatrick as Joe Bond in 69

Polly Childs (Kate Lodge) backstage at Secret Storm studio 1963

Kings Crossing debuted with a 17.1 /27 share on ABC .Following that a 90 min Fantasy Island score 16.3/27. NBC had a disaster with the lowest rated shows for the season 'Alice at the Palace' 5.0/8 and 'Caruso Remembered 3.3/5 CBS took the night with Disney 'Tales of the Apple Dumpling Gang' 23.6/37 and TV movie 'Help Wanted:Male' 28.8/47

Jeanne Lange and John Getz as Carol and Neil. Pretty much forgotten now but I think Carol was quite a major character at the time?

I wonder if there was any thought given to having Peter Burnell return as Mike in the late 70's. Or were the execs at that time unaware of him? Of course he may not have wanted to return. But with the continued recasting of the character, it was probably worth considering.

Chuckling at that clip... I'm pretty sure they weren't expecting it to look like an ad for Bay City's hottest gay club.

Francine York, who played Lorraine Temple in the late 70s, has died aged 80. She was the mother of Donna (Tracey Bergman) whose father was Don Craig (Jed Allan).

John Pleshette (Richard, Knots Landing) appeared in an episode as a record shop employee. He didnt look much different than he did on Knots as it was only 6 years time difference.

David Allen Brooks was the temp Keith.He had been on EON.

Kurt Costner,man of mystery! Boring character...originally he was introduced via Katherine. I wonder if there were plans to tie him to her in some way.My memory is hazy but was this at a time that Katherine had no story?

Constance Forslund got a publicity push when she was chosen to portray Marilyn Monroe in the Moviola mini series. It didn't score in the ratings and that seemed to be it for her as a primetime star.

Not sure as to whether Madisons exact location was specified.I thought that the Madison location wasnt specified till mid 70s (under Marland?) but now recall that it was mentioned much earlier (in the current reruns)Am I imagining this?? BTW,the latest ep (earlier Dec 72) now lists James Lipton as writer along with the Pollocks. Am sure Eric Montreal will want to tune in to see his favorite soap writer

Dick Latessa, who played Noel Douglas in the mid 70s has died aged 87.
