This is a Neil Holland film. He played Danny Woleck on One Life to Live. His parents, Richard and Suzanne Holland, wrote A World Apart, All My Children, and General Hospital on ABC. Richard Holland, his father, also acted on The Guiding Light and As the World Turns (as Donald Hughes #2). i

Again, I felt that the ISIS storyline was wonderful, and it should have marked the beginning to better scripts and storylines for the show. I was really interested in Edge of Night during the time of the conclusion of the ISIS storyline. I do suspect that this story had probably been conceived as a part of Tucker's Witch, which as written and produced by Lee Sheldon and had aired on CBS earlier in the season. He did have many months to perfect that storyline before it was transferred to Edge of Night. Mr. Sheldon did not have the advantage of having months to perfect the storylines that followed. I felt that writer Lee Sheldon did a good job with the Isis storyline, and I especially enjoyed the conclusion of the Isis storyline because I felt that it was very suspensive. I was really encouraged that Mr. Sheldon was getting better and had learned more about writing for a serial. However, the follow-up storylines (Jody attending college, Jody and Jeremy, Standing Elk and Derek, etc.) were dismal. He really had not learned very much, and he was a very poor headwriter for the show!

I had thought that Willie Ames and Eva Gabor were based in the West Coast.

Following her being written off One Life to Live as Sheila Price #2, what has Stephanie E. Willams been doing? She is a LOVELY actress!

So, Mr. Haines was discharged from the show?

With such a tight budget, I wonder how the show could manage to get Willie Aames, Elaine Stritch, Eva Gabor, Dick Cavett and Jerry Zaks to appear during this era.

When Another World hired Larry Haines after the cancellation of Search for Tomorrow, why did it not work out? I am not sure how many episodes his character was on, but it was probably under five.?

Does anyone know anything about actor Tony Ray, who is listed above as Bud Gardner on Search for Tomorrow? Is this actor/producer Tony Ray who was married to Gloria Grahame and son of writer/director Nicholas Ray?

Lee Lawson, the actress that I remember as Barbara Sterling on Love of Life, has passed away.

Actress Lee Lawson (Wanda Webb Woleck #2 on One Life to Live) has passed away.

I do remember that one of the few characters who was really impressed with the celebrity of Erica was Cecily. She was visiting Julie in the Chandler mansion, and Erica answered the door. After Erica left the two alone, Cecily was in awe of Erica, and she was somewhat suprised that Julie was not. Another time, Taro Meyer was playing a famous actress, and her character and Erica were both present in the same restaurant. I would have expected them to acknowledge one another, but they failed to do so. They surely would have known about each other.

Was actress Dody Goodman ever on Search for Tomorrow - or was One Life to Live the only soap opera on which she appeared (excluding the primetime Hollywood serial Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman)? If she did appear on Search for Tomorrow, what was the name of her character?

Seeing the pictures of Gretel and Marcello, I am wondering if they were on One Life to Live at the same time in the 1980s.

Thank you, Slick, for posting the photograph. As you probably know, I was asking about Pamela King and NOT Pamela Bellwood. I am not sure which years Ms. King was on The Guiding Light, but Ms. Bellwood would have had to be a child actress having been born in 1951.

Are there any photographs of actress Pamela Miller (Jane Fletcher Hays #1 on The Guiding Light, Lisa Miller Hughes #2 on As the World Turns, Rose Gammage on Somerset)?

I have seen the list of Another World's producers dozens of times; however, it was not until tonight that I realized that Lyle B Hill had produced the show. I had thought that he had left As the World Turns and to work directly to Another World: Somerset when that show premiered. I also realized that many of the roles on Somerset were filled with performers who had appeared on As the World Turns (Edward Kemmer, Gary Sandy, Pamela Miller, Michael Lipton, Philip Sterling, Miles Chapin). The only performers on Another World during the time that he was producing it were Nancy Wickwire and Virginia Dwyer. (I know that Ms. Dwyer was already on the show when Mr. Hill began producing Another World.) Later, of course, both executive producer Lyle B Hill and headwriter Robert Cenedella were working on the new spinoff of Another World. I know that Mr. Cenedella was working on both shows. Was Mr. Hill also working on both shows? I have seen the list of Another World's producers dozens of times; however, it was not until tonight that I realized that Lyle B Hill had produced the show.

Was Mr. Hill also working on both shows? I did not watch Another World at the time. I began watching Somerset a few weeks after its premiere. I remember some of the cross-over performances that the cast of Another World made on the new show, but none of those with Somerset's cast appearing on Another World. I did not begin watching Another World until 1974.

Unless I am mistaken, Ms. Blackburn replaced Ethel Remey as Alma Miller on As the World Turns following the death of Ms. Remey. I am pretty sure that Irene Bunde was on The Secret Storm. I am thinking that she played Jill Stevens (later Jill Clayburn).

John Torinov the son of Orin Toinov, has passed away. His father was a soap opera writer and creator of NBC/Colgate-Palmolive's The Doctors. Here is an obituary: Obituary John O. Tovrov, 73, of Concord, died on March 4, 2022. He died at home, surrounded by his family and with numerous messages from friends and patients. The son of Orin, a radio and television pioneer, and Midge Tovrov, a dedicated local philanthropist, as a child John led a rural and adventurous life in Orleans, MA. Sailboat racing, rowing Cape Cod Bay with the Sea Scouts, and sewing terror up and down Route 6 in his Barracuda. John’s childhood instilled in him a love of the outdoors in general and the Cape in particular that he passes down to his sons. As a surfer, John bushwhacked trails through the Cape’s dune scrub that have since become big parking lots for both happy beachgoers and subsequent generations of East Coast surfers to use. Leaving the Cape for college at Lake Forest in Illinois, John’s passion for adventure turned him onto rock climbing, ice climbing, white water canoeing, winter mountaineering, and even more sailing. With Lee Tibbetts and friends from the Appalachian Mountain Club, John summited Mount Hood, Devil’s Tower, and spent weeks in British Columbia’s glacial Cascade Range, among many other adventures over two decades of outdoorsmanship. He was also an early leader in AMC’s Mountain Leadership School, a staff member at Outward Bound’s Hurricane Island school in Maine, and an innovator in how mountaineering is taught. For his first career in Social Work (Syracuse, MSW), John used this love of the outdoors to help his patients, leading trips for troubled city kids in the White Mountains as therapy. When John left Social Work in order to pursue an MBA (Boston University) to support his new family, John found a calling in Human Resources, where he could use the empathetic skills he learned on the trail to make corporate machines run in a more human and caring way. His return to Social Work in his sixties was like a rebirth, and he was dedicated to his patients to the end. Having stared down death many times as a young man, John was not afraid to go. His only regret was that he couldn’t help his patients “finish their stories.” John is survived by his loving wife, Robin Kanarek, his sons Daniel and Jacob, sister Jessica, daughter-in-law Stacey, and nephews Aaron and Sam Rodgers. Immediate family members gathered for a private burial service at Sleepy Hollow Cemetery in Concord. A memorial celebrating John’s life will be held this spring. In lieu of flowers, the family appreciates donations to the Concord Scout House, P.O. Box 73, Concord, MA 01742, an organization John was once President of that gives Metrowest kids the same kind of opportunities that shaped his life. Arrangements are under the care of Dee Funeral Home & Cremation Service of Concord.

Still another possiblity that has not been brought up is that Robert Morris was using the name Dick Trask as a professional name at the time of his being hired to play Jerry.

I do not remember this character (Kat). Since the auditions were in August, and the show left the air on the last day of December, was Kat ever introduced on screen?

I wish that I could remember the living room of Bill and Bertha Bauer of The Guiding Light. The description has perked my interest, but I cannot recall it. I think that I will watch the episodes of Bill's funeral to see if it is shown.

Seeing the name Neil Johnson made me think of Another World. My relatives and I always thought that the swimming pool belonging to Iris looked silly and stupid.

I had always assumed that the stair steps that we saw were the visable part of the stairs, and that there were more that led to the second story. In that picture above, who is the man standing next to Ethel Remey? Could it possibly be Kasey Arnold, the original Grant Coleman (who had previously appeared on this show as Roy, the ex-husband of Sandy and later became Penny's husband)? I had not remember that his looks were so dark.

I think that there were both. Many people who had been watching on the CBS network followed the show to NBC. I had watched the show around 1968 and 1969, but I had stopped watching when Jo was re-married to Dr. Tony Vincente. When the show moved to NBC and Linda Gibboney joined the cast (after her role on All My Children), I started watching it. (I really had followed actress Linda Gibboney to the show.) I kept watching until its cancellation, although the last year did not hold much interest to me. I originally had not Loving, but it got better, and Loving eventually became a favorite show of mine.
