I had been thinking that there was no murder trial for Rae. The show seemed to getting ready for one, but it never happened. I cannot remember what reason was giving on the actual show.
I read that the show had borrowed from The Edge of Night a courtroom for Rae's trial, but it never happened so the borrowing was in vain.

Billy Redfield later played roles on As the World Turns and Kitty Foyle.
Is Charles Fenman the same as Charles Fenneman (announcer and actor)?
I had not known that Tom Gorman was playing television roles this early.

Laurie became one of the show's main characters only after she reformed.
I remember and will never forget Labor Day of 1968. Robin drowned, and Belle blamed Amy and swore revenge on Amy.
Valerie - Lori March
Grace - Marjorie Gateson
Amy - Jada Rowland
Susan - Judy Lewis
Sam - Terry O'Sullivan
Joan - Christina Crawford
Nick - Keith Charles
Paul - Nicolas Coster
Karen - Beverly Hayes
Belle - Marla Adams
Nola - Rita Morley (Mrs. Kenneth Harvey)
Laurie - Linda DeCoff
I have absolutely no memory of the characters of Eleanor, Alex, Stan, Alex Lockwood or Wally. Who played these roles?
Who was playing Ken during this time? Who was playing Jill at this time? Who was playing Williford at this time? Who was playing Archie at this time?

I hated that Barry Ryan's gambling storyline was dropped so suddently!

For years, I thought that a rivalry between Todd and Danny would be good - much better than Todd's dislike of Kevin.

If the show wanted a returning Herb to have a wife, a marriage between Herb and Gretel would make a lot of sense.

I am wondering why Rosemary Murphy left The Secret Storm when she did. Mary K. Wells replaced her in the role of Nola Hollister (widow of Wilifred and mother of Laurie Hollister Stevens). Ms. Murphy was the second actress to play Nola. Sohe later returned to soap operas on All My Children (as Mark's mother) and Another World (as Sam's mother).

Mr. Haines also appeared on the CBS primetime comedy Phyl and Mickey two years later.
It was a summer-run show about two Olympic athletes who fell in love with one another.
Actor Rick Lohman, who had played Stuart Bergman's grandson on Search for Tomorrow, played the male athlete.

Also on that television pilot posted above in the cast was the late Len Wayland. He played Phil Elliott (first husband of Helen) on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing. He was also on First Love, From These Roots, A Time to Love, and Generations. He was married to actress/director Julie Bovasso at one time.
In the bloopers video posted above, who is the actor appearing in the scene with Dr. Charles Tyler (Hugh Franklin)?

The only actress in the role of "Aunt" Liz Matthews that I saw was the late Irene Daily.
However, I know that she was a great recast. She certainly seemed to please Harding Lemay in the role.
(The other actresses who had played the role were Sarah Cunningham, Nancy Wickwire and Audra Lindley.)

I think that she was older than he.

The adoption of Jimmy/Danny did not happen on As the World Turns. The Stewart family had already adopted Jimmy prior to the time that they moved to Oakdale. I am almost certain that Paul had already been born also before they moved.

This show had so many writers!
Could the list of head writers be posted?

Happy birthday today to Penny! I am sure that she will be receiving flowers from her brother, Bob.

Don Sebesky, a musician who was nominated for his work on the music of The Edge of Night, has passed away.
Sebesky's work for television has garnered three Emmy nominations, for Allegra's Window on Nickelodeon, The Edge of Night on ABC, and Guiding Light on CBS. He also composed film scores that include The People Next Door (1970), F. Scott Fitzgerald and 'The Last of the Belles' (1974), and The Rosary Murders (1987).

Veteran actor and singer Harry Belafonte has passed away at the age of 96 from congestive heart failure.
His daughter, Gina, once played Polly on All My Children. The role of Polly was a recurring role.

Here is writer Ted Post. He wrote scripts for the primetime PEYTON PLACE on ABC and BRACKEN'S WORLD on NBC.
He is pictured with actress Dorothy Malone (Constance on Peyton Place; she was also on High Hopes).

The above post was fascinating to read. I really loved Search for Tomorrow when the co-headwriter was C. David Colson/David Cherrill. Gary Tomlin's work was good also, but I preferred Mr. Colson/Cherrill.
Two characters, though, that were not mentioned were Rhonda Sue Huckaby and Ringo Altman. I was rooting for those two, but the writers or producers decided to drop them. Ringo was sympathetic up until his final or next-to-final scene.
I also greatly enjoyed Andie and Stephanie together.

Here are two pictures of actor and writer Doug Chapin (Tony Cooper #1 on Somerset). The person pictured with him is actress Carol Kane.

I am wondering why Jeffrey David Pomenantz left One Life to Live and the role that he had created "Dr. Peter Jansen."

In the article above, the name of Allen Fristoe was mistakenly published as "Allen Bristoe."

Needless to say, she looks so beautiful!

It is interesting that Brenda Brock (One Life to Live) has not been heard of since leaving that show or being written off the show.
Does anyone have an idea of what she has been doing?

Here are some statements prompted by some recent posts:
Slick, you mention that Kitty Styles left her son with Amy. I am almost certain that she left her son with Laurie Hollister Stevens.
The year on which Robert Gentry appeared was probably 1970. I think that he was on the show at the same time as Kathleen Cody.
Alexander Clark, who played Willifred Hollister #1, later became the theatre critic for Vanity Fair magazine.
The actress who played Luurene ______Post, Sue Ann Gilfillan, was the wife of producer Converse.
I am glad to know that Chase Crosley played Eleanor on The Secret Storm, but I still do not remember her. I was watching during this period.
I had known that the late Olga Belgin had appeared on The Edge of Night, but I was unaware of her role on The Secret Storm.
The team of Gerry Day and Bethel Leslie wrote for The Secret Storm after the purchase of the show by CBS. They were responsible for the Sean/Mickey/Corey storyline in which Amy fell in love with a man that she thought was her half-brother. Also during this time was the Hugh-Jill-Ken triangle and Didi. (This period of the show was tremendously good!)
