"Secret Storm" memories.
Biff Edwards later played Harry Flax on All My Children. His wife, Jeanne Carson, played Marcy Vincente (first wife of Tony) on Search for Tomorrow.

Search For Tomorrow Discussion Thread
Back on the subject of Charles Irving. Kitty Foyle on NBC was a half-hour serial, while Search for Tomorrow was a quarter-hour in length. I would presume that the pay would be more for a half-hour serial.

Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)
Cookie was never a Capice. She was Elaine "Cookie" Pollock when introduced. She later married reporter Malcolm Thomas (both in real-life on on the screen). He was murdered, she was arrested, but the real killer was found (Constance Ford as Eve Morris). Cookie later had a romance with Adam Drake. Then she was romanced by Ron Chrisopher, her second husband. Ken Emerson, Malcolm's friend, was also attracted to her. So, she was Elaine "Cookie" Pollock Thomas Christopher.

Another Life
One more serial that Roy Winsor created in between The Secret Storm and Another Life was Ben Jerrod on NBC in 1963.

Another Life
The last soap opera that Roy Winsor had created was NOT in 1954. He created Hotel Cosmopolitan, and it premiered in 1957. He also created a soap opera spin-off of The Secret Storm which was to be about the Stevens family. The Expanding Circle (or something like that) was to be the title. Instead, though, CBS bought Where the Heart Is, co-created by two writers (Lou Schofield and Margaret DePriest) of The Edge of Night. He did not create Somerset, but he was the headwriter of that show after Henry Slesar left. I am interested in Bob Aarons. He co-created Another Life with Roy Winsor. Does anyone have information on this writer?

The Doctors Discussion Thread
An article above mentions the practice of taping two episodes per day for The Doctors. I remember that, in 1972, Nancy Barrett came to my town to appear in Star-Spangles Girl by Neil Simon. It was because The Doctors, on which she was appearing, took a summer hiatus that she was able to come there to appear in the play.

I thought that either Rosemary Prinz (As the World Turns) or Mary Stewart (Search for Tomorrow) were the first performers to be nominated for Emmy awards for daytime work.

A World Apart
She was ninety-nine years old at the time of her death a few days ago.

A World Apart
Rise Stevens, whose son was on A World Apart, has died. Her son was Nicholas Surovy (who later played Mike Roy #1 on All My Children). Ms. Stevens was a great operatic singer.

One Life to Live Tribute Thread
Does anyone have any information that could be shared about Sharon Laughlin, the FIRST actress to be cast as Victoria Lord? She was hired but quickly replaced (before the debut of the show) by Gillian Spencer. There were some still photographs of her and Lee Patterson that were released to the press and were on the show's promos that aired, but she was never seen on the show.

Teri Keane played Rose Cudahy on All My Children. Rose was the mother of Tom and Sean, grandmother of Laura.

From These Roots
My understanding is that Provo and Picard were fired by Procter and Gamble when the company learned that they were a same-sex romantic couple. They were later hired by Roy Winsor as headwriters of Love of Life. I understand they also submitted scripts to The Doctors.

Mr. Arnold was on The Edge of Night as Joe Bulmer later (in the 1980s). I had not known that he had been on A Time for Us. Does anyone know who he played? He died in 2012.

Young Doctor Malone
I especially love the picture of Peter Brandon, who was later on Another World, As the World Turns, and How to Survive a Marriage. I had never seen a photograph of him on Young Doctor Malone.

I absolutely adored Linda Gibboney on Alll My Children. She was my favorite actrtess on the show during its entire run!
