From We Love Soaps Ben Jerrod Abel Forsythe - Don Collier

So Jason Aldrich has appeared?I knew he was mentioned. Was this a one episode thing? I haven't been keeping up on TD on a daily basis.

Ben Jerrod Adele Pike ...Jo Helton

Great! Was hoping to see more and glad you have the time.Until the weekend...

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.

Yes, thanks.A great read. JER didn't give many interviews so this is special.As Michael said that time at Days was special. JER got the ratings to jump by setting up the Carly buried alive story and took it from there.

Don Hastings won parts on both ATWT and TEON in 1956. Benton & Bowles,the ad agency for P&G decided to cast him as Jack Lane on Edge.Otherwise he would have been Don Hughes on ATWT.

Thinking of Irna's departure in 1970, I wonder how that all went down? Did she give a lot of notice or was her departure one of those mercurial Irna moves? Did any of the mags mention it at the time? She had been at ATWT 13 years and I wonder if she was getting a little frustrated with the constraints of writing those particular characters? She had tried with Another World to oversee a new show,but never seemed to get a handle on it. Now she and her daughter were working on 'A World Apart' and she probably had free reign to write for a fresh set of characters. Her stint there also proved to be short lived. Anyway,ATWT went with Joel Kane as her replacement.He had some primetime experience but had never worked in daytime. I imagine CBS and P&G were very protective of their #1 rating show that was a huge moneyspinner. Was Joel Kane expected to reproduce Irna's style? I'm not sure how long he lasted but at some point Winifred Wolfe took over before Irna returned. Hope other posters have some insights about this time in ATWT history.

Exact dates are hard to come by but Irna left the first time around January 1970 and returned January 72.She was writing up till a writers strike in mid 73 and did not return.
