Thanks for the feedback Carl. Actually this Tina was Tina Richards,who was played by Toni Bull Bua.The later Tina,played by Hollen was Tina Cornell. Howard Strassfield was actually Jim Strassfield played by Geoffrey Horne.Maybe the mix up on his first name was a typo or SOD got advanced info before the name change. That character was on for a couple of years with no real story. Will try and find out who played Endicott. I'm sensing some major Val/McConnell love here. Did you see her as Miranda on AW?

I think the Ellen/Kate mix up was just a typo Here's a 1970 cast list. CAST: Lydia Bruce as Dr. M. Powers Peter Burnell as Michael Powers Carolee Campbell as Miss Simpson Zaida Coles as Anna Ford C.C. Courtney as Jody Lee Bronson Jami Fields as Penny Davis Gerald Gordon as Dr. Nick Bellini Sally Gracie as Martha Allen David O'Brien as Dr. Steve Aldrich James Pritchett as Dr. Matt Powers Greta Rae as Ginny Frances Sternhagen as Phyllis Corrigan Robert Salvio as Gary Corrigan

Details are leaking about the upcoming movie... The storyline opens in 1752. Joshua and Naomi Collins, with young son Barnabas, set sail from Liverpool, England to start a new life in America. But even an ocean was not enough to escape the mysterious curse that has plagued their family. Two decades pass and Barnabas (Johnny Depp) has the world at his feet—or at least the town of Collinsport, Maine. The master of Collinwood Manor, Barnabas is rich, powerful and an inveterate playboy … until he makes the grave mistake of breaking the heart of Angelique Brouchard (Eva Green). A witch, in every sense of the word, Angelique dooms him to a fate worse than death: turning him into a vampire, and then burying him alive. Two centuries later, Barnabas is inadvertently freed from his tomb and emerges into the very changed world of 1972. He returns to Collinwood Manor to find that his once-grand estate has fallen into ruin. The dysfunctional remnants of the Collins family have fared little better, each harboring their own dark secrets. Matriarch Elizabeth Collins Stoddard (Michelle Pfeiffer) has called upon live-in psychiatrist, Dr. Julia Hoffman (Helena Bonham Carter), to help with her family troubles. Also residing in the manor is Elizabeth's ne'er-do-well brother, Roger Collins (Jonny Lee Miller); her rebellious teenage daughter Carolyn Stoddard (Chloe Moretz); and Roger's precocious 10-year-old son, David Collins (Gulliver McGrath). The mystery extends beyond the family, to caretaker Willie Loomis (Jackie Earle Haley), and David's new nanny, Victoria Winters (Bella Heathcote). Dark Shadows is currently scheduled to open in theaters May 11th, 2012.

I have only vague memories of this stuff. They burned through a lot of story in the self contained eps. Always enjoyed FC. It was beautifully photographed and staged.

Joan played Judy Marceau,Bill's daughter. She really should have come back later,maybe with kids to give continuity to the story,

Dana Andrews, Susan Brown,Colleen Gray, Marion Brash and Dusan Darrow Susan Brown, Mark Miller, Gail Kobe, John Considine Susan Brown, Paul Lukather

I wish I knew! Relying on you Carl to dig out some treasures... I wish i had more time to chat to Patty McCormack as she might have been willing to talk BOE.

Time to get BOE back on the first page!

Seeing Jane Cameron there reminds me that Nancy was another viable character completely forgotten. And Cory Ewing should have turned up in the late 80's as a new teen.

Had Rachel/Mitch/Mac been played against other strong stories with familiar characters,maybe things might have been different.Maybe Pat gets involved with Taylor Holloway,thus integrating a new family with known characters. Mike returns (recast) saying he and Karen decided against marriage. He can become embroiled in things.Sam Lucas' daughter turns up to stay with Aunt Ada and proves to be a handful etc etc Instead we got a whole bunch of newbies without any ties to the past. 25th Anniversary photos

Stanley Norris and Leslie Jackson Norris Papa and Bert Bauer Alan and Hope's wedding

Earlier,we discussed Alma,Lisa's mother.After Ethel Remey passed away,Dorothy Blackburn took over,but for how long remains a mystery.Anyway,in Sept 78,ssummaries state that Ama was going on a world cruise (never to be heard of again)

Very interesting article re the 'relevance' stories on Search, Edwards seemed to be interested in doing new things to keep the show up to date.Although the ratings were high,I wonder if there was any backlash? P&G are always accused of being conservative but they went ahead with Kathy having an abortion. Edwards never worked on another soap-I wonder whether that was his choice ? Some more nostalgia

The gangs all here - Steve, Rachel,Russ and Alice enjoying a night out.
