"Mike stayed around, albeit with several different faces. Luke and Nola and Barney Dancy were pretty much on till the end as were Greta and Billy. So there was some consistency along with the changes." Wasn't Billy murdered? I know that Judith Howard (Judy Collins) was giving condolences to David O'Brien's character after someone had died.

In addition, there was a bar called Foxy's on Locust Street in Center City. Hughie was the bartender.

I don't think that the Chateau was introduced in 1970. I think that it was later. Nick Davis originally was the owner of a company that sold light bulbs. He later opened a dance studio (which was how Kitty was introduced. She was hired as a dance instructor who had been to Hollywood to start a dancing career but was unsuccessful. She was looking for her mother, and she fell in love with Nick.) It was in the Cheateu where Claudette had her drug overdose and was taken to prison. Whenever the Chataeu was introduced, Freddie, the m'atride was shown. (He was the real m'aitre at the favorite New York restaurant of Agnes Nixon.) Nick later left town, and Ellen was hired as the manager of the restaurant. Kelly's manager, Eddie, gave everyone a hard time. Ellen hired Claudette to work there following her release from prison. Prior to that, the characters often ate at the Country Club or in tne cafeteria of the Pine Valley Hospital. I think that Nick was the originator of the Cheateau. He sang as well as ran the restaurant. Later, he hired Kelly Cole to appear there (and, then later, Donna.) It was later bought by Adam Chandler (which is how he was introduced after Ross had already come to town to check it out for him.) Adam owned it as part of a hotel chain. When Tom Cudahy came to town (and rescued Little Phil from some kidnappers), he had left professional football and later decided to open the less formal Goal Post. Erica later opened Erica's Disco in the rear of the Goal Post. Skye was first introduced as a popular singer (Skye Patterson) who was hired to sing at the Goal Post. She and Tom quickly fell in love. The Serving Spoon was at the mall, and Daisy liked it. Palmer bought it for her to run. After Daisy left town, it was bought by Chuck as a gift to his new wife Carrie Sanders Tyler. I don't think that it was a restaurant, but, instead, a cooking supply store that sometimes served food that had been cooked there. Although the Goal Post was always less formal than the Goal Post, Mackay's was even less formal and frequented by the younger characters. Panache was later opened. I think that the owners were Hailey and Matteo.

I am asking a question about Susan - or, more specifically, her second husband. I remember that Lawrence Luckinbill played Mr. Carver (whose husband I cannot remember), but I seem to remember that Susan was single by the time that Alan Dunbar returned from Korea. What happened to Mr. Carver?

And "Willow Weep for Me."

By the way, the butler that Mr. Davis played was later replaced by on named Heron. He was played by Richard Merrill.

Actor Louis Zorich, who played Inspector Haniotis on As the World Turns in 1988, has passed away. Here is his New York Times obituary: Louis Zorich, a busy actor who appeared on Broadway with stars like Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman, on television in the comedy “Mad About You” and in numerous projects with his wife, the Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis, died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan. He was 93. His son Peter confirmed his death. In a career of some 60 years, Mr. Zorich played scores of roles, mostly of the character-actor variety. He was the father to Paul Reiser’s character on NBC’s “Mad About You” from 1993 to 1999 and the grandfather on “Brooklyn Bridge,” a well-regarded CBS series that ran for two seasons earlier in the 1990s. But he also occasionally tackled the big roles. The year before “Brooklyn Bridge” made its debut in 1991, he played King Lear in a production at the Whole Theater in Montclair, N.J., of which he and Ms. Dukakis were founding members. In 2004 he portrayed the title character in an Off Broadway version of Aeschylus’ “Agamemnon” by the Aquila Theater Company, opposite Ms. Dukakis’s Clytemnestra. Mr. Zorich continued to work into his 90s, so there is some irony in the fact that his final film appearance was in “No Pay, Nudity” (2016), a bittersweet comic drama by Lee Wilkof about the troubles older actors have finding work. Louis Michael Zorich was born on Feb. 12, 1924, in Chicago. His parents — Christ, a stationary engineer, and the former Anna Gledj, a homemaker — were immigrants from Yugoslavia. Mr. Zorich was drafted into the Army at 18 and served in an engineering firefighting platoon attached to Gen. George S. Patton’s command during World War II. After returning to Chicago from Europe he attended Roosevelt College under the G.I. Bill, receiving a bachelor’s degree in 1951. He earned a bachelor of fine arts from the Goodman School of Drama in 1958. “I never had to do anything outside the theater since the day I left acting school,” he reminisced in a 1991 interview with the Newhouse News Service. “I never had to drive a cab like everybody does. I never had to wait on tables like people do, or work in temporary office work. It was just sheer luck.” His first television credits were in 1958, including two Canadian anthology series, “Encounter” and “On Camera.” He made his Broadway debut in 1960 in a small role in “Becket,” with Olivier as Thomas Becket and Anthony Quinn as King Henry II. Those early credits set the pattern for a career that would mix a lot of television and a lot of theater, with the occasional film thrown in. His movie roles included a constable in the 1971 film version of “Fiddler on the Roof.” On television, he was seen on episodes of “Route 66,” “Naked City,” “Columbo,” “Law & Order” and the soap opera “Ryan’s Hope.” But he most loved to work in the theater. “I don’t know why or how people cannot want to go to theater,” he once said. “I don’t understand that. It’s not like TV, it’s not like the movies.” One theater audition he went to in 1961 proved particularly life-changing. It was for an Off Broadway play called “The Opening of a Window.” “My dad was up for the part of the husband,” Peter Zorich said by email. “The wife was already cast — Olympia Dukakis. He read for the part but didn’t get it — can’t make that up. They moved in together.” They married the next year. Mr. Zorich received a Tony Award nomination for best featured actor in a play for his 1969 performance in “Hadrian VII.” In 1984 he played Uncle Ben in a “Death of a Salesman” revival that starred Mr. Hoffman as Willy Loman; he reprised the role in a well-regarded TV version on CBS the next year. His other Broadway credits included the 2001 revival of “Follies” and, most recently, the 2003 revival of “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Though Mr. Zorich and Ms. Dukakis were in many high-profile stage productions, they frequently worked in smaller theaters, both in New York and beyond, individually and together. Sometimes their collaborations would turn into family affairs, as in 2001, when Mr. Zorich and his brother-in-law, Apollo Dukakis, jointly directed “The Cherry Orchard” for the Pacific Repertory Theater in Carmel, Calif. The cast included Ms. Dukakis and Christina Zorich, the couple’s daughter. A particularly enduring collaboration was the Whole Theater Company in Montclair, where the couple lived for many years. They were part of a group that formed the company in 1970. It staged its first Montclair production, “Our Town,” in 1973, and brought numerous actors, known and unknown, to Montclair before closing in 1990. Mr. Zorich and Ms. Dukakis’s home became something of a gathering spot. “It was like growing up in the circus,” Peter Zorich told The Montclair Times in 2015, when the troupe held a reunion. “There was someone living in the basement, in the garage, in the carriage house.” In addition to Ms. Dukakis, his son Peter and his daughter, Christina, Mr. Zorich is survived by another son, Stefan; a sister, Helen Cochand; and four grandchildren. In 1991 Mr. Zorich spoke of the one play he and Ms. Dukakis had done that he would not want to revisit: Edward Albee’s “Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?” They played George and Martha, the warring couple at the play’s center, in a 1979 production in Montclair and, he said, had gotten a little too into their characters. After playing the show for a few weeks, he said, he marched into her dressing room and asked, “Why are you going after me like that?,” only to hear her explain that she was merely playing the role. After another week or two, she confronted him with the same sort of accusation. “I’ll never forget that,” he said. “We almost got divorced.”

Actor Louis Zorich, who played Detective Oliver Jones on the show, has passed away. Here is his obituary from the New York Times: Louis Zorich, a busy actor who appeared on Broadway with stars like Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman, on television in the comedy “Mad About You” and in numerous projects with his wife, the Oscar-winning actress Olympia Dukakis, died on Tuesday at his home in Manhattan.

Gregory Roziakis definitely appeared on One Life to Live. I have a tape of his appearance. Diana Walker, in addition to Where the Heart Is, also appeared on As the World Turns as Dr. Susan Stewart and on Dark Shadows (substituting for Nancy Barrett as Carolyn). She also appeared on Another World.

I was told that he played the butler at Llanview. That may have been when Victor Lord was living, or it could have been after Victor died and Dr. Dorian Lord was the mistress of the house (prior to her marriage to Herb Callsion, when she lost control of the house). There was a maid there during Dorian's time named Felicia. I did not know that Keith Charles had been on Somerset. Who did he play? Was it a dayrole? Louis Zorich, who played Inspector Haniotis on As the World Turns and played Detective Oliver Jones on Ryan's Hope, has recently died. I think that he was also on Another World, but I am not sure what his character's name was. Do you know of other roles he played on daytime television?

I cannot remember the name of the character played by John Sylvester White, but the character was Jo Ann's first husband. How did he die?

Judson Laire was definitely on The Edge of Night. I think that was his final role - at least on daytime television.

I was recently told that Humphrey Davis (First Love) was also on One Life to Live.

Ms. Mattson never created a role of her own, unless I am mistaken.

interesting bit of trivia: Ann Flood replaced Susan Brown on From These Roots. Susan Brown replaced Ann Flood on The Edge of Night during one of the maternity leaves of Ms. Flood. I believe that John Karlen also played a role on Kitty Foyle.

Ms. Miller was also on a commercial for Michelob beer - no line, just seen drinking.

I am assuming that James Lipton, the original writer of this show, did not remain with the show for its entire length. What writer replaced him?

Dorothy Malone (Constance) has passed away.

How was the character of Rex Twinning written off this show? Was Eunice a widow when she met Doug Martin?

Before the character of Betsy was introduced, the writer of Love Is a Many Splendored Thing had considered making Andy into a homosexual character. Don Scardino returned to soap operas (after leaving The Guiding Light and a supporting role on As the World Turns) to play Andy. I suspect that his return was prompted perhaps by such a revolutionary character. I also wonder if he did not leave the role of Andy when the plans (from homosexuality to incest) changed. Rusty Thacker replaced Mr. Scardino, and his character fell in love with his half sister (played by Jody Blocker). The character of Betsy was introduced much later.

This show had already killed off its best heroine needlessly when Lesley was killed by a mad driver. I know that Lynn Adams chose to vacate the role, but she had been replaced once before by the marvelous Barbara Rodell. Ms. Rodell could have once again replaced Ms. Adams.

Yes, that is Nina Hart as Meridith. Also Fran Carlon as Julia (although the photograph does not look all that much like her). Carol Demming and Professor Demming had been introduced by Irna Phillips. The father (played by Ed Bryce) did not remain on the show for all that long. After Ms. Phillips left the show, Carol was written off to build the relationship of Tom and Barbara. When Irna Phillips returned to the show, the first thing that she did was to (very suddenly) return Rita McLaughlin as Carol. There was a party where Tom was, and he and Carol saw each other. They spoke, and she timidly remarked that she had not seen him in quite a while. (Of course, Miss Phillips also killed off both Paul and Elizabeth, and she wrote Betsy, Emily, Susan, Dan, Walter, Bruce, Simon, Ellie, and Merideth off the show.) This photograph must have been taken during one of the times that the show wrote off Ellen Stewart. She was said to have been at home, but she was not shown. This happened to actress Patricia Bruder several times. As for Tom's "hippie phase

ravenwhitney, was all of this said on the same evening? Meg Myles' character (Sid) was written of the show a long time before Mr. Slesar was dismissed from the show. The network (ABC) was unhappy with Procter and Gamble's decision to replace Mr. Slesar with another writer. That is why he became the co-headwriter of One Life to Live (with Sam Hall). However, the two writers did not work well together, or so I understand, and Mr. Slesar left when his one-year contract expired.

I do not remember exactly when Geraldine moved from the Whitney mansion. However, she did live there when her first husband (Gordon) was living, the son Colin was running for Gordon's old Senate seat, and son Keith was presumed to be deceased. She also lived there after returning from Washington with the widowed Tiffany and when Tiffany married Noel Douglas. (Noel pushed Geraldine down the stairs which caused her to be in a coma-like state in the hospital.) I suspect that she departed that house at the time she married her second husband, Anthony Saxon. Now, I have a question about the show. Actor (soap hopper) Conard Fowlkes played the brother of Nancy Pinkerton on the show originally. (He was Johnny Paul Anderson, and she was Beth Moon Anderson Barnes). Or was Johnny Paul the first husband of Beth? Anyway, Mr. Fowlkes returned to the show later playing Steve Prentiss, first husband of Liz Hillyer. He left the show abruptly, presumably to appear on ABC's A Flame in the Wind. The character of Steve was said to have deserted Liz, while his sister and brother-in-law, Ruth and Ernie Tuttle, remained on the show (and Ernie was later revealed to have been the jealous murderer of Harry Constable). I think that rather than having Steve written off and having him desert Liz that it would have been better if the show had recast Steve for a while. If they wanted Liz and Steve apart, they could have then killed off the character of Steve. I don't know exactly who was writing the show at the time (and I am under the impression that, for a while, Mr. Shofield and Mr. Slesar were collaborating on the scripts), but Mr. Slesar had a habbit of breaking up popular characters. Steve and Liz (who were popular with me) may have been the first victims. I would welcome comments on this subject!

The second advertisement for the show was from what year?
