Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
I remember Nell Carter on the show. She should have been allowed to sing! The article above mentions that Robyn Millan played Delia, but the show did not like her in the role. They called another actress who was not available. I wonder who the actress was that was called and was unavailable?

I adored Kathleen Maguire (pictured above). I read that she was a heavy smoker, and that was tragic.

Actress Denise Nickerson, who created the role of Liza Walton, has passed away. Her brother, Shane, appeared on The Guiding Light as Billy, the son of Peggy and Marty who was later adopted by Dr. Johnny Fletcher. I am attaching the following, courtesy of CBS Los Angeles. AURORA, Colorado (CBSLA) — Denise Nickerson, best known for her role as Violet Beauregarde in the 1971 film “Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory,” has died. Nickerson was 62. Denise Nickerson, who played Violet Beauregarde in the original film, attends the 40th Anniversary of Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory at Jacques Torres Chocolates on October 18, 2011 in New York City. (Getty Images) Her son and daughter-in-law — who had been her caretakers — made the announcement on Facebook with a post that read, “She’s gone.” Nickerson suffered a severe stroke in June 2018. Violet will always be remembered in the classic film for being spoiled and obsessed with chewing gum. In addition to being remembered for “Wonka,” Nickerson was also known for being a member of the Short Circus on the kids show “The Electric Company.” The New York-born Nickerson left acting in 1978 to become a nurse and that’s how she’s made a living the past 40 years. Her other credits include “Search for Tomorrow,” “Dark Shadows,” “The Brady Bunch,” and the TV movie “The Dark Side of Innocence.” Her son and daughter-in-law set up a GoFundMe to help cover end-of-life expenses. The fundraiser has garnered more than $10,000.

"Secret Storm" memories.
What was the name of the character that was played by John Fink? He was on the show around the same time that Kasey Arnold and Donna Mills were on the show.

All My Children Tribute Thread
I think that the show was keeping the character of Greg around for a future storyline. It would have very possible (since Greg called Shelia the wrong name when they were together in bed) that Sheila could have left town and had the child of Greg. This child could have returned with or without his mother.

Another World Discussion Thread
The Edge of Night mentioned Somerset when Laurie Ann was in hiding. I do not remember references to Oakdale. (This was several years prior to the premiere of Another World: Somerset ) I think Ms. Dano was better playing Gretel than she was at playing Felicia. I was very sorry when One Life to Live developed an Asa-Gretel-Max-Roxanne quadrangle and then Ms. Dano had to leave for health reasons.

Best & Worst Soaps: Less than 10 Years On Air Division
One of the major reasons that How to Survive a Marriage seemed so dull may have been that the words of its initial writer, Anne Howard Bailey, could not be changed. The performers were instructed to never change a single word, and that made the show wordy and possibly dull.

Somerset Discussion Thread
I was thinking that Dick was the father of Jill. However, I now realize that Dick was the character that the same actor had played (and would later play) on As the World Turns. Please tell me, who was married to Ellen and was the father of Jill and David?
