I have known for a long time that The Thin Man (created by Dashell Hammit) was on the radio, on movie screens, and on television. However, I did not know until tonight that there was also a series called The Fat Man (also created by Mr. Hammit)!

I read that Vicki Viola appeared on this show in 1970. I was thinking that it was probably a mistake and that she had played the mother of Jock (John Karlen) in 1967. If not, who did she play?

also asking about the late Ed Bryce, the late Conard Folkes (may be misspelled), John Karlen, and Ann Flood.

I am requesting radio roles (if any) for Christine Thomas, Kate Harrington, Lillian Hayman, Rosetta Lenoir and Hugh Franklin.

The substation of Jordan Charney as Danny Fargo is not the only time that Antony Ponzini and Mr. Charney played the same role. When Mr. Ponzini departed One Lfe to Live as Vinnie Wolleck, Mr. Charney was hired as his replacement.

I meant to post Lynne Adams, not Brooke. I am surprised that I made that mistake.

I heard that The Secret Storm was to bring back the presumed dead character Jill Stevens Clayborn; however, the show was cancelled prior to the return. (Barbara Roddell was free to rejoin the show after Brooke Adams returned to The Guiding Light as Leslie. The dismissal of Ms. Adams from The Secret Storm had been the result of the return of Jada Rowland's return to the show. However, another actress could possibly been hired to play Jill. I also heard that the show was toying with the idea of bringing back Kip Rysdale.

He was named Ken George Jones, and he was played by Trent Jones. Mr. Jones also wrote some music for Ryan's Hope as well as later writing for the show.

Does anyone have anything to say about the recast of Andy Hurley on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing? Don Scardino (who had earlier played Johnny on The Guiding Light) created the role. When he left the show, Russ/Rusty Thacker played the role until his half-sister's death.

Probably with Scott Phillips. As I recall, he had been to Viet Nam when he was introduced on the show.

I can tell that is Willi Burke in the bottom picture (from On Golden Pond - written by Somerset's Ernest Thompson).

I don't think that is Willi Burke, but I could be wrong. She played Ruth on All My Children during a Christmas episode. She may have appeared during the next year, but Ruth was quickly written off the show for a while. I thought that she had also appeared on Love of Live.

Concerning Dr. Clader: He began on the show in 1975. I wonder what storyline was his first. Was he the doctor of Erica Brent when she lost her baby?

I think that Ruby Dee appeared on One Life to Live, her son had already been written off the show. Robert Hooks also played a doctor on All My Children early in its run - probably around 1971. (He was billed as Bobby Hooks, I think.)

When Ruby Dee appeared as the judge on One Life to Live, it was during the Paul Rauch era of the show. Valerie Harper has passed away. Do you know the name of her character on The Doctors? Do you know the name of Warren Beatty's character on Love of Life?

Valerie Harper, actress who appeared on The Doctors, has passed away at the age of eighty.

One more request: Julienne Marie.

I don't know much about Love of Life,, so please forgive me. I read on another thread that Bernard Hughes played Dr. Otto Kreisinger on Love of LIfe. It this the neighbor who developed an obsession with Barbara (played by Lee Lawson)?

Concerning Harris Yullin (and you may be aware of this), he played a visiting doctor at Llanview Hospital on One Life to Live around 1985 or 1986. He was a friend of Dr. Dorian Callison.

I have several questions concerning the character Kelly Cole Tyler and her storyline: 1. Were the type of drugs to which she was addicted opiods? If they were, then Agnes Nixon was ahead of her time. 2. Is the actor who played Eddie Dorance for the longest period (Warren Burton) still living? 3. Did Francesca James herself compose the song "Colored Lights"? 4. Is the actor who played Freddie still alive? 5. It was Myrtle who first found Kelly after the death of Kitty. Was it said where (geographical spot) she first saw her?

Some of the other soap operas airing at the time would have been blessed to have her on their shows. Sy Thomashoff, who designed the sets for Ryan's Hope, has passed away.

Yesterday as I was watching the CBS Saturday show, I noticed that Glen Zachar's name was in the credits. (I think that he was credited as working on the audio.) Mr. Zachar appeared as a child actor on both Another World (as Michael Ranolph) and Somerset (as Skipper #2).

I never knew before now that the contract of Sarah Felder (Siobhan #1) was not renewed. I think that show made a grave error in not renewing it. Jose Aleman later returned to Ryan's Hope in a day role of a young pedestrian. Kaye deLancy's role (Amy) was the type of crazed character that Claire Labine enjoyed adding to the show. Another one was Kenneth Castle. I had always felt that much of the Ryan's Hope cast was comprised of people who knew Claire Labine and Paul Avilla Mayer (the show's original owners) or who had worked with them on Love of Life and Where the Heart Is. Both John Scanlon and Diana van der Vlis had appeared on Where the Heart Is. By the way, I saw that production of Camelot in New Orleans.

Here is a list of some early characters on As the World Turns. Do you have information on who played them? Al James (was this Donald May?) Tom Pope Greg Williams Julie Spencer Burt Stanton Laura March Phil Banner Ed Richardson Dr. Joe Meadows Anne Meadows Thelma Turner (I should know that, but I do not) Joe Wipple

Actor Robert Milli, who was in the premiere cast of Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, has passed away. He also appeared on Another World, One Life to Live (2 roles), The Guiding Light, and All My Children.
