I would have had Maisie hook up with Vince and play Vince/Mary/Maisie with Vince and Maisie marry and stay around after Denise Alexander left.They could be tentpole for the McKinnon children who should have stayed around longer than they did.

I think Holly's cellmate was was Clara,not Carla. Re Scott Conrad ,Iris and Rex they are already accounted for in The Doctors lists.

Like Clarice,Quinn was another character that lasted through several writing/producing regimes before getting the boot.

Michael Lundrum auditioned for the part of Alan Stewart on The Doctors,which went to Gil Gerard.He later played Mike Powers on TD

Still puzzled as to how and why Nicole/Laurie went nowhere. . .

Add Jerry Lewis to The Doctors list. He was on around 75/76.Don't know the details,but is pictured on set in an old soap mag from that time.

Can someone please fill me in on details of Mike Powers first marriage.I have seen mentions but that's it.Thanks.

Joe Stuart was OLTL exec producer from 77-83 which was the time frame that Arthur Burghardt was playing Jack Scott.

Liz(Julianna) should have definitely stayed on in the 80's and 90's to play off Jill and Katherine. Loved Peter Bergman's comments about Bill Bell's writing and how characters stayed on course.Interesting contrast to his positive spin on Chuck Pratt's nonsense.

It's interesting to read the circumstances of Burnell leaving.I had assumed he left voluntarily after a long run in the role. The next Mike didn't last long and the Armand Assante took over.He seems an enormous contrast to Burnell's Mike. I wonder if at some point they should have invited Burnell back.

Did Jane ever do any other acting? What happened to her? I wonder if she would have been willing to go back? Nancy was forgotten after Jane left.

Is Susan (Betsy) Giles the character or actress? Lisa Cameron as playing Susan Matthews at this time.

Floyd was introduced by the Dobsons and Doug Marland continued the characterization.By 85 Pam Long was in charge and the actor's contract was up so the murder was pinned on Floyd.

In August 66.Variety stated that Liz and Brian Avery were to wed in October,so something happened in between that caused the wedding to be called off.

Re Clear Horizon Child actor Ricky Kelman signs on in Sept 1960 according to Variety.

Variety Dec 1959 Helen Trent will be written into the script of "Whispering Streets" on Dec. 25. Her "personal problems will be so pressing in Hollywood . . . that she will decide to go to N. Y. to visit her old friend, Hope Winslow." Hope Winslow is the lead of "Whispering."

Liz Hubbard's second marriage to David Bennett received quite a bit of publicity and produced her son Jeremy.In an interview I saw on Daytime Royalty she mentioned a brief first marriage to an actor that she didn't name. For anyone interested the marriage took place in May 1960 and the groom was Sidney Kay, also an actor.

Slick,you can now add Michael Beirne as Steve Garrett to the Love of Life cast. It was mentioned in the SFT article on casting David Sloane.

Great article.So Jerry Lanning was on the radar at Search a couple of years before landing a role.I wonder if he read for other roles in that time?

Fantastic effort Slick.Probably a typo but Judy Collins played Judith Howard not Collins. Sindee Richards played Penny in 1965. When did Joan Fontaine appear?

There are two Jocelyn Somers listed on IMDB. The actress that played Jean Barton on DOOL in 1977 is one of them.If she was the one to play Jesse then she would have been in the age group to play a sister.Is she also the temp Althea? I don't know anything about the other Jocelyn Somers (she only had 2 credits on IMDB).She may be old enough to have played Kate's mother.

When Simon left Peter Ratray took over as Scott until the Phillips were written off by the Corringtons. Peter went on to ATWT (Ian) and from 82 GL (Ed) but never to SFT.

Larry Weber as Peter Ames
