Thanks ! Didn't get exactly the Alice / Morton storyline. Why was she afraid of him? He wanted to marry her but he killed his wife?

Dumb Question: Was Michelle Stafford any good as Nina??? If So What was Her Best Scene/Storyline???

She was awful …

Fascinating ! Love finding out more about this GH era we don't know much about !

And that’s how Peggy McCay came into the scene as Iris ! Fascinating ! Don't know much about the character. Think she was in a quadrangle with the Baldwin brothers and Meg. 

I'm glad we know more about Tom than only his ill-fated marriage to Audrey.

John and Polly Prentice are interesting too !

Only wish Sharon and Henry were given more to do. 

In the « remembering Woodbridge » article :

It was now June of 1969. The show's ratings had continued to dip when Lou Scofield replaced John Hess as headwriter. But when Roy Winsor had replaced Scofield with Don Ettlinger, the audience began flocking back. Unfortunately, it wasn't good enough for CBS. The network leased both Love of Live and The Secret Stormoutright from American Home Products and gained control of both shows, while the idealist genius of Roy Winsor was no longer called for. Roy Winsor was forced to close his office, and The Secret Storm was to endure countless different writing regimes before the real end came.

Or had it already come in June of 1969?

I posted a nugget in Character original names thread, in case any one missed it.

 

Thanks ! Didn’t know that. I can’t picture Denise Alexander as « Margery »

Thanks for clearing that up re Patty/Gina

Now on to Danny and Andy

Looking over synopses from that time Danny is hardly mentioned well into 82, so maybe he was recurring.

Wonder how that worked?

Was Danny's intro during a writer's strike? Maybe he was a Conboy hire?

Maybe Conboy pushed for him so Bill agreed and wanted to see him onscreen to decide where to go with the character. I think Danny was a waiter at the Allegro. Maybe there was a scene with Leo to introduce him and he probably met Patty there.

Same with Andy. When and how was he introduced? He seemed to be linked with Jill pretty quickly. Was he  a school teacher at first-is that how he connected with Jill?

Does anyone remember?

Not much info on Danny I agree.

Andy was introduced as a bartender at the Bayou, working for Cash. He joined on 06/18/1981. Nikki said Cash that Andy was hitting on her and he was fired. She apologized and they kind of dated during the crazy Edward storyline. Then, Andy was moved into Jill's orbit.

Oh, they didn't? I had no idea. I was under the impression it was definitely the same actress.

Oh sorry, you were right. It was the same actress. I just checked. I wonder why I was so sure it had been a recast. My apologies !

I still remember Angie Costello appearing in the '93 anniversary ep - I'd have to go back and rewatch, but the dialogue with Steve made it seem like she was there for a brief patient arc, whereas apparently she was there for over three years lol.

It's sad they didn't bring the original actress - Jana Taylor - for this appearance. It was not as noteworthy as it should have been.

Absolutely fascinating ! It gives us many information we had no idea about !

Same with Angie and Eddie. They are always credited with leaving in 1965 but it appeared they must have left in 1966.

Finally, some new characters!

2022 is the first year BB (or any soap I think) didn’t add any new contract character. 

The Sonny show again and again. Years ago when JFP was fired, I had hope...

Thanks for the great work.

Is Leslie Charleson sick or something ? She hasn't appeared in months and usually GH uses her a bit more.

Unfortunately, actress Rita McLaughlin (Wendy Porter #1 on The Secret Storm) passed away on Monday, the 26th.

Oh I didn’t realize she was on The Secret Storm.

I read that Rita McLaughlin (Carol) passed away. She was suffering from an agressive cancer. A daughter posted on FB.

How long was Teri Keane in the role ? I think she was brought back a few times as a guest, as late as 1990 right ?

Something confuses me about Jessie and Phil. If I read it well, they divorced in January 1965 and during December 1965, Jessie thinks Phil will come back to town before their divorce is finalized. Did they remarry in early 1965 ? before he raped her and fled Port Charles ?

For anyone curious, here is an example of a full episode summary from the archives!  Many more to come!  Merry Christmas!

 

That is terrific ! How did you find these ? I am so interested in them

October 2 1962 Penny Hughes Baker is suffering from amnesia after Jeff is killed in a car accident. Doug Cassen comes to see Penny to see how she is doing. Chris and Nancy Hughes agree with Doug its time Penny goes to see her house to see if that will bring her memory back. While at the house Penny seems to fighting the memories she is too afraid to face.

On Facebook, someone sent screenshots of an episode from « How to survive a marriage ». The tape was given to him by Rosemary Prinz (he also got many « All my Children » from her and many « As the world turns » from Barbara Rodell »). Don’t think he will share the episode video as he is known for selling his stuff but here are the screenshots.

I've been meaning to mention this to @Errol - I have the same difficulty finding *some* of the episode count threads in the episode count archive section of the resource archive menu.  The monthly episode count threads are there -- but they don't all display in the menu. The only way I can find some of the threads is to guess what their name is and then enter that into google search with "site:soapoperanetwork.com" at the end of the search sequence.  and then  what I want appears.

I enter this search term into google:
"Bold & Beautiful - December 2021" site:soapoperanetwork.com
And then I find the thread...
https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/60409-bold-beautiful-december-2021-episode-counts-and-year-end-stats/

 

Thanks ! I thought I was really stupid at first when I couldn’t locate.

Thanks a lot for the counts ! I'm sorry to bother but I can't find the 2021 total episode counts in the archives. Could someone help ?
