Who was Kate Donovan?

Really looking forward to reading about Marland's plans for the show in light of what actually played out.

That marriage to Sam Groom (Russ AW) lasted until 82.Suzanne never remarried.

Some more photos that might bring back good memories...

David Winn (Steve Williams) another forgotten relative,then and now.Steve could have been a viable character with the right actor and story.

Who are these strange people with Jack??

CC Courtney,who is due to arrive July 68 as Jody Bronson spent a couple of years on the show and went on to become a DJ,writer and acting teacher.He has a website http://www.cccourtney.com/

Drawing a blank on Lanna's other connection to TD. BTW What was her character's name? I wonder if we will see the restaurant set again?

In this summary we see mention of Brent,a boyfriend of Jill's.I have never seen him mentioned before.Anyone know more? #136 – Tuesday 16th October, 1973 (Tape date: Tuesday 2nd October) Chris is in her bathroom, rinsing off her face when Jennifer comes from behind and mentions that Greg is downstairs. Chris knows that the women are coming from the rape crisis centre tonight – but she doesn’t know when. Chris tells her mother she’ll slip on something and come down. Greg waits with an obvious penetrating curiosity. Jen comes down and says Chris will be down in a minute or two. Greg expresses his feeling that there’s something everyone is keeping from him and he suspects that something is going on there. Jen handles the moment with sensitivity. Greg tells Jen that he happens to love Chris, and whatever it is why won’t they tell him. Chris comes down and says how grateful she is that he’s here. She’s just wanted some time to herself and that it has nothing to do with him personally. Chris graciously touches on the idea that she’s expecting someone. When she opens the door for Greg to leave, the two women from the Rape Crisis Centre are there and said they were just about to ring the bell. Greg asks Chris privately about why she’s talking with women from the Rape Crisis Centre. She tells him that she has to go in now, but perhaps they can talk in a day or so. The two women leave having made an impression on Chris to report her rape. Brent walks Jill home after an evening together. He asks her if she enjoyed herself and she says yes, very much. They talk for a while and she complains about her work at the beauty parlour, yet she’s good at it and is lucky to have a job. She complains that she doesn’t want to grow up and live like her mother – and yet she thinks her mother is super. Brent reassures her that there’s nothing wrong ever with a person trying to improve herself, reach beyond what her parents have had. Jill tells of how she answered a modelling ad and Chris Brooks was there. The photographer told them the kind of pictures he wants and both she and Chris decided to leave. After they left, Jill lingered in the ladies’ room until Chris had left, then went back and asks the man if she could try out for the job, but by then he had hired someone. Jill admits to Brent that at that moment in time she would have gone ahead with it. “How about that for looking for a way out?”, Jill says. Brent suggests to her that they discuss this on their next date.

Mona came on in 72.

Just thinking how some of these stories would have been handled these days Ruth would have stolen a baby Liz or Matt would have toppled off the ledge or Joe would have kidnapped Liz Karen would be undermining Maggie and maybe drugged Matt to get him into bed. Steve and Carolee would have already had sex

Movie buffs will recognise Ann Revere who always popped up as the stoic mother in 40's movies.Often she wasn't much older than the actresses playing her daughters. From saynotoursoap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I05L7e5zENA

After Kathleen Murray subbed for Bethel,Lydia Bruce was to fill in for 8 weeks while Bethel filmed the movie 'The Molly Maguires' but Bethel never returned.

Virginia Gilmore was the first Andrea Reynolds,in the role that Joan Copeland is most identified with. My info is that Gilmore was on 65-67.

Tyne Daly tested for the role of Claudia on Dynasty. John James tested for Steven Carrington.
