I believe that she played a rabbi on One Life to Live. The show's co-creator, writer, and (unbilled) executive producer has passed away. She was Agnes Nixon.

Our Private World
On As the World Turns, Millette Alexander played Sylva Hill, R. N. She later married Dr. Suker. She did have lupus. She was one of the few soap opera characters who did. (Later Megan and Marty on One Life to Live both had lupus.) Julianne Marie, who played Eve, was married in real life to James Earl Jones. He was appearing on As the World Turns or had just completed his role on that show. I think that this was the one of the final episodes.

Our Private World
The last episodes of the show were more and more about Dr. and Mrs. Lawson. The storyline was moving away from the original idea, and viewers (at least this young one) was losing interest in the show due to that.

Love Is a Many Splendored Thing
I have been listening to the dialogue in the video above. Is that first scene a dialogue beween Jean Garrison and Angie? or is between the character that Constance Towers played and Angie?

Soap Opera Cast Lists and Character Guides- Cancelled and Current
Since "father" (Henry McGill) and "son" (Herbie Vail) did not share the last name, I wonder if they could have been "step-father" and "step-son" - or even adopted father and son?

Two questions tonight: 1. Do you remember or have any information on actor William Gleason. I know that he played Detective Bauer on Ryan's Hope in 1981. A writing (possibly his obituary) stated that he played on The Edge of Night for a two-year run. I can find nothing about him. If possible, would you shed some light? 2. Bernard Barrow (The Doctors, Love of Life, The Edge of Night, Ryan's Hope, Loving) played two roles on The Secret Storm. The second is very memorable. He played Dan Kincaid (which I may have misspelled), a candidate for governor. His first role was as a professor or possibly as the president of a college. Can you tell us this character's name?

It looks like Marie Wallace with a lot of make-up. The voice sounds much older, but it is possible that she is that good an actress to sound older. I happened to notice that you mentioned Search for Tomorrow's character in an above post. He kidnapped another character named Robin. I believe that is the role that Marco St. John played. (He was also on As the World Turns and on All My Children.)

I am not sure about who you ask about, Slick. Is it the actress playing Mrs. Brior, the older character. Is that Marie Wallace from Dark Shadows and Somerset?

I have just read that in 1973, Carla Gray on One Life to Live was being followed by a mysterious man who was posing as a policeman named Lester Brock. Do you know who played Lester?
