Judging by that review and the ratings we didn't miss much!

Review from Broadcasting magazine Kitty Foyle (Net) Cast: Bob Hastings, Larry Robinson, Marie Worsham, Mae Barnes, others. Producer, Charles Irving. Director, Gary Simpson. Script, Carlton E. Morse. Sustaining eta NBC -TV. (NBC -TV, 2:20-3 p.m., EST, February 3 ) "Kitty Foyle" needs plenty of work if it is ever to make a career for itself in daytime TV. As most women know, "Kitty Foyle" is the story of a secretary, the daughter of a Philadelphia Irishman who moves into the select circles of society in the Quaker City. For its time it allowed an easy identification for America's working girls, but it needs revision for today's world. The episode viewed took a half hour, let brother Ed steal a fete backs from the cookie jar, brother Mac tells how he was ready to marry a girl he met one week ago. and Stacy Lee Bella and Carter Hamilton II to dance and moon. The poverty -stricken writing was completely devoid of interest. Ed, for example, was after the family budget money. His attempts to fool this brother were ridiculous And obvious to all. Miss Balla and Carter are supposed to represent society. This they do by wearing riding boots and jodhpurs, judgment as to acting is very difficult when writing is so poor. However, as the maid, Mae Barnes is completely lacking in the ability to relate to other actors. This show needs sharp improvement quickly. Leon Morse.

It was during 1990 that ATWT went to #2 in the ratings.

When Y&R was getting off the ground John Conboy offered Beverlee McKinsey a role. They had worked together on LIAMST but Bev decided to accept a contract at AW after initially recurring as Iris. Can't think who Bev could have played on Y&R?

From Daytime TV Late 77 1. AW 11.1 31 2. ATWT 10.0 30 3. AMC 9.9 31 4. GL 9.2 27 5. Y&R 9.1 30 6. OLTL 8.9 26 7. SFT 8.7 29 8. RH 8.6 28 9. GH 8.3 28 10. TD 8.2 24 Game Shows 1.

Wheel of Fortune 6.9 26 That was really AW's last ratings triumph.The Sven storyline was playing out and seem to captivate viewers, maybe because it was something different from Lemay (a more suspense type story).Then once that wrapped up there was nothing to keep the momentum going.Add to the fact that DOOL and TD were slumping so AW did not have a strong lead in and Gloria Monty's revamped GH and the I hr GL arrived all contributed to AW's drastic fall in the numbers.

Love of Life Gary Tomlin as temp David Hart.

Gary Tomlin filled in for Brian Farrell as David Hart on Love of Life (due to Farrell's illness)

For Love of Life - Jayne Bentzen played Pam in 1977 Oops Just saw her listed.I only looked up first name characters. You have her listed as Pam Wagner.Wasn't that also an ATWT character?

Thanks for the synopsis. I read Marie Masters started playing Susan in September 1968, so who was in the role at this point ? I would love to see footage of Michael Shea and his relationship with Lisa. John Dixon worked under Michael and I guess trained him well in being dastardly. It seems that the first Susan,Connie Scott was a teen and she played against Jeffrey Rowland as teen Dan in 66.Then both Dan and Susan were aged. The next Susan,Diana Walker was in her 20's as was her successor Jada Rowland. Jada had been dropped by Secret Storm,so I wonder if in turn Diana was dismissed to make way for a popular soap star in Jada.Then Secret Storm wanted Jada back and that's when Marie Masters took over.

Great article that really reinforces what has been said about HTSAM. Channel seems to focus on the early days but I have read the show became more traditional and 'soapy' later on. She was no fan of Agnes Nixon!

Just watched the first part of the July 22 1975 ep and the scene between Mac and Rachel went for 11 minutes!! Not sure if today's viewers would stand for that. Was it Lemay digging deep into character motivations or just needlessly prolonging the scene?

March 21 1968 Ellen tells Judge Lowell that she wishes her mother were married to Dick instead of Michael because she feels that Michael never really loved Claire and never will. Susan wonders whether she and Dan are on the same wavelength in regards to starting a family in the near future. Meanwhile, David gives Michael a vote of confidence for his future with the hospital despite the personal damage the trial and Dan's testimony did to him. Claire is disturbed over something and decides to sooth herself with a few drinks. When Michael returns home, he is shocked to realize that Claire is drunk -- and she proceeds to explain why this is so. Following her explanation about the real father of Lisa's baby, Claire throws Michael out of the house and says she never wants to see him again. After Michael leaves, Bob pays a visit to the house and finds Claire passed out on the couch and in need of medical attention. I never knew there was any relationship between Claire Cassen and Dick Martin.

Slick, in the Love of Life cast list Robert Aberdeen is listed as playing Greg Keyes from 78-80 but the Daytime TV article in the LOL thread on Gene Bua mentiond Bob Burdine as playing Greg in 1970.I assume they are the same actor and one of the references is incorrect?

I only recall McGillan in scenes with Jill over her attempts to sell the Foster home without Liz's approval. He was very minor to the story at the time and then vanished.A pity there wasn't interest in pushing Greg as he ad a lot of story potential.

Kathryn was married to Glenn for 3 years.
