Humphrey Davis played Dr. Featherstone on The Edge of Night. Dr. Featherstone worked in Dr. Bryson's clinic. Irene Kane was, I believe, the original Jill Stevens on The Secret Storm. Abby Lewis played roles on As the World Turns (David's first mother-in-law) and Somerset. Rex Thompson later returned to The Doctors playing Dr. Steve Aldrich. That was near the end of the run, and he replaced the ailing David O'Brien in the role for about a week. He also played a role on Where the Heart Is. Len Wayland was on Love Is a Many Splendored Thing as Helen's first husband. Astride Lance played a role on The Edge of Night. Ben Piazza played a role on Love of Life. Dorothy Blackburn replaced Ethel Remy as Alma on As the World Turns following the death of Ms. Remy. Eleanor Phelps replace Marjorie Gateson as Grace on The Secret Storm when Ms. Gateson had her stoke (and never returned to the show). Patty McCormack was on The Best of Everything. She also replaced Kathryn Hays as Kim on As the World Turns during an illness. Georgeann Johnson, of course, had roles on Somerset and As the World Turns.

Yes, I have heard of them. They were the creators and writers of both Concerning Miss Marlowe and From These Roots (until Procter and Gamble fired them.) These men were involved in a same-sex romantic relationship. I understand that Procter and Gamble learned of this and dismissed them. Afterward, hardly anyone would hire them. Roy Winsor hired them to write Love of Life. I do not know what happened to them after they completed their run on Love of Life. I have found pictures of their house online.

"Ned's sister Lotty was Lorna Forbes' cellmate, and later married Curtis (I believe when Burke Moses was playing the role) and dealt with her scummy common law husband Eban Japes (Matthew Cowles)." Lotty was also illiterate (which made her feel inferior to Curtis) and was taught to read by Lorna.

Tony LoBianco played a role on Hidden Faces. I also want to say that he may have been on Love of Life.

I felt that Susan Harney was an excellent recast in the role of Alice. However, I would loved to have seen Judith Light in the role.

The character of Clover Wilde - what was Clover's storyline. I do remember that she was being paid by Asa to break up Jesse and Becky. Did she have any romantic pairing?

Interestingly, both of the actors who played Ken George Jones and Barry Ryan later became soap opera writers.

I preferred Blair #1 also. I wonder how Blair #2 would have been as Tina?

Scrapple, you are correct.

Of course, Toni Kalem (a favorite actress of mine) appeared on Another World.

Prior to writing The Doctors, Rick Edelstein was the producer of The Edge of Night, on which Margaret DePriest appeared as Abby and later became one of the show's writers. She later appeared on The Doctors.

I do not remember the name of the character that Jennifer Bassey played, but she was the ex-wife (and insanely jealous) of James O'Sullivan's character.

I was thinking this morning (as I was listening to harpist Carol McClure): On All My Children, what was Melanie Sawyer's storyline? I know that she did not have much of a storyline because she was not on the show for very long. I know that she was a first cousin of Pamela Kingsley. She was a music student and a pupil of Mark Dalton. Pamela seemed to have an attraction for Mark, which, I am sure if the storyline had proceeded, would have led to more problems between Pamela and Erica. Was Melanie to be a new love interest for Dr. Chuck Tyler? Why had Chuck and his second third wife, Carrie Sanders Tyler, broken up? Rick Pharr (or Farr) was a character who was a gardener. Someone fell in love with him? Was it Betsy Kinnecott? Or, did Betsy fall in love with Wally McFadden? Someone fell in love with Rick. Who was it? Did anyone else like Sam other than Opal?

I was thinking that he (Gregory Chakiris) played a married man with whom Didi had been in love or with whom she had had an affair. However, I suddenly remembered that the role that I was thinking of (and described) was played by Ed Power. So, now, I cannot remember his role - only that it was involved in Didi's storyline and the storyline about the factory where Harry and Didi worked.

George Chakiris (West Side Story) was involved in the Didi O'Neill/Brad Vernon storyline.

Today (May 1) is the birthday of Penny Hughes...! On the May 1 episode each year, Chris would send Penny flowers for her birthday.

I believe that it is Julie Montgomery (Samantha #2) of One Life to Live. She does resemble Randall Edwards at times in the commercial.

The person holding the child appears to be Kathy Kalmi as Pamela Kingsley #1. My guess about the child is that it could be Laura Cudahy. The daughter of Lorainne Broderick, I believe, played the role. I cannot remember her name right now.

This is a picture of Jeffrey Rowland with the mayor of New York. Is that the First Lady on the left? The list of actresses who played Dr. Susan Burke Stewart are: Connie Scott (1966–1967) Diana Walker (1967) Jada Rowland (1967–1968) Leslie Perkins (1968) Marie Masters (1968–1979, 1986–2010) The years that Marie Masters played Susan seem to be incorrect. She was fired when Irna Phillips returned to writer the show. She returned later after Robert Soderberg and Edith Sommer became the writers. I read that Mary Harris created the character. Is this correct?

Also in The Royal Hunt of the Sun were Thayer David (Dark Shadows), Gregory Rozakis (The Best of Everything and One Life to Live), Michael Levin (Ryan's Hope, As the World Turns), Tony LoBianco (Hidden Faces), Robert Burr (Love of Life, Love Is a Many Splendored Thing, other soap operas), Ben Hammer (numerous soap operas), George Rose and David Carradine.

On the front row of that group photograph are Jeffrey Rowland (Dan Stewart) and probably Edmund Guynes as Paul. The women are Franny Brennan (Toni Darnay) and Susan Burke (Connie Scott). This was evidently taken before Gloria de Haven joined the cast as Sarah Fuller. I cannot remember, for the life of me, Fred Collins (George Sampson). Was he someone who was attracted to Amanda (Deborah Steinberg Simon)? Sometime after Connie Scott left as Susan, Jada Rowland had the role. That was after her brother, Jeffrey Rowland, had left as Dan. I have learned that actor George Sampson appeared on Broadway in The Royal Hunt of the Sun (1966).

Sadly, the performer known as Yahoo (who played Star Wilson Stoner on The Edge of Night) passed away earlier in 2017. Obituary: The sweet voice of Yahee Fernandes-Baxter, of New York, NY and LaSalle, ON, left us on Thursday, March 30, 2017, at Henry Ford Hospital, in Detroit, MI, after a brief battle with a rare cancer. Yahee was born in Wareham, MA. She was the fifth of ten daughters of Arthur and Rose Fernandes of Marion, MA. In 1984, she married Gregory Baxter in Marion, MA, and had two sons, Whitney and Ryan. In 1969, Yahee earned an Associate of Arts degree in Theatre and Voice, from Colby Junior College (now Colby-Sawyer College) in New London, NH. She then matriculated to Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH as one of the first 70 women admitted. While at Dartmouth, Yahee was the first female, African-American cheerleader and first woman to pledge a fraternity, Phoenix. When her area of study was discontinued, she transferred to Smith College in Northampton, MA, where, in 1972, she earned a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre and Voice. Yahee later changed her major to English and Education and in 1973, Smith, granted her a Master of Arts in Teaching. Show business was Yahee's vocational calling and so, she moved to New York, NY, to pursue her craft. She became an Entertainer – singing, dancing, and acting – and a member of all the performers unions – Screen Actors Guild (SAG), American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), and Actors Equity Association (AEA). Yahee fell in love with Broadway, performing both "on" and "off" for many years in numerous shows, including: The Skin of our Teeth, Scapino, Salute to Broadway, Rockaway Boulevard, Gotta Dance, Divine Comedy, Myths of America Smith, Silver Queen, Ragtime Blues, Three Musketeers, La Gente, South Pacific, Storyville, Othello, Hollywood Heartbreak, The Brixton Recovery, and Starting Over Again. Yahee appeared in more than 150 television commercials and radio voiceovers, for brands such as: Budweiser, Dawn Dishwashing Liquid, Luvs Diapers, Ford, I Love New. Yahee originated, and played, for almost five years, the role of Star Stoner/Wilson on the long-running ABC network soap opera, The Edge of Night. Yahee would leave the boards to become a full-time mom to her sons and to pursue her volunteerism and community activity. For over 20 years, she was deeply involved with Hunter College Campus Schools, where Whitney and Ryan both attended and graduated. She is a member of Jack & Jill of America., Inc. She was active in St. Andrews Anglican church, the Praise Band, LaSalle Community and the Oasis Women's choirs, Harbour Lights singers and community theatre with Theater Alive. Yahee has now brought her sweet voice to the Lord's choir. Yahee is survived by her husband, Gregory, and her sons, Whitney and Ryan, all of New York, NY. She is also survived by her nine sisters and many, many cousins, nieces, nephews, grandnieces and grandnephews, largely in MA, FL, and CA. In lieu of a funeral, the family is planning a celebration of Yahee's life that will reflect the bubbling, vivacious, full-of-life person that she was, and that all those who came in contact with her remember. A memorial fund in Yahee's name at St. Andrews Anglican Church (519-734-7682), 205 Laurier Drive, LaSalle, ON N9J 1L5, has been established for those who wish to make a donation. What though the radiance which was once so bright Be now for ever taken from my sight, Though nothing can bring back the hour Of Splendor in the grass, of glory in the flower; We will grieve not, rather find Strength in what remains behind… - William Wordsworth (1804)

Actor Clifton James, who played Red/Santa Claus on All My Children (and was involved with Eileen Hurlie as Myrtil's new leading man) has passed away. He passed away in Oregon, where he had been reared as a child.

I remember that! Unfortunately, I had forgotten about it. I believe that it was during the Prince Albert storyline.

Slick, I remember Marco St. John from As the World Turns as Paul. I have also read that he appeared in Search for Tomorrow. I also remember him on All My Children. Do you know of other soap opera roles that he played?
