Julie Mannix has written a book 'Secret Storms' detailing her having an out of wedlock pregnancy and giving up the baby for adoption, http://www.redbookmag.com/kids-family/advice/adopted-daughter-found http://www.amazon.com/Secret-Storms-Mother-Daughter-Found/dp/0985735805/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1411634085&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=secret+storm

The Ames family with housekeeper Jane

Chandler Hill Harben au naturel. . .

Didn't they have Carol marry a minister (played by her real life husband) How did that play onscreen? I recall a clip posted here of a wedding(can't recall who) and Carol was there-in a sort of cameo, after she was no longer on contract.Does anyone else remember that? When Mary Ellis Bunim took over,Afternoon TV had a story on the 'new ATWT' and Randi Jean was in a glamor photo spread of the shows hot women.

The Brian character might hold the record for most recasts in the shortest period.

Didn't Lori Cardille have to suddenly leave due to some sort of issue with her ability to continue playing Winter?

That body on Duncan was a rarity at the time.Was it mid - late 90's that men's bodies were expected to be totally buff?

I never knew that Bambi was around for a few years before going on contract and becoming a lead player.Maybe Jean Holloway saw some potential in her and made her the focus of that much derided storyline.

The Dancys consisted of parents Barney and Virginia and children Luke (Lew) Joan,Sara,Nola and Jerry..Luke would have been the longest running Dancy, I think Margaret DePriest brought Jerry on first in 75 and they continued to populate the town under Marland.

Wasn't Denise offered one of the highest salaries for a newcomer to a show to make the switch?

Yes,I will find those and post...

Vanessa died in Nov 81. Below is asummary of events around Sept 1980.The show had been an hour for 8 months and it's interesting to see where it was at.

Matthew informs Simeko Peggy Brooks is no longer a problem. Julia worries to herself that Victor will tell something has changed.She wonders why she did it.Was it revenge over hearing from Eve?

This way after the move to the hour- around the time of Charles and Diana's wedding-July 81. I think it was timed to cash in on royal wedding fever. Derek was gone by this stage.

Loved the unending applause for Leslie and the dubbed in ooohs and aaahs when Lorie appeared. And that fake French accent on Jean Claude or whatever his name was. Was that set the Colonnade Room modified?The pillars and arch windows look familiar. I guess they took a chance with Dennis Cole,going for a totally different character, but he in no way resembled John McCook's Lance in appearance or manner. Watching the AW eps in the canceled threads I thought the guy playing Jordan had a look resembling McCook and might have worked as Lance. Yes,Jerry 'Cash' Cashmman worked as a stripper and male escort at the Bayou.

Yes, Kathy Glass preceded Doris Quinlan. Quinlan did bring on Nancy Pinkerton and Doris Belack,both of whom she had worked with on One Life to Live.
