I think that Love Is a Many Splendored Thing had daytime television's best villioness, Jane Manning as Jean Hurley Garrison.

Actor Peter Donat was, at one time, married to actress Michael Learner (The Waltons, Nurse) and was on As the World Turns at ome time.

I liked the rape storyline. Mark was shown as a real human man who may or may not have kept some secret feeling for Iris. Laura was shown as a real human woman who was unsure of her decision to leave the protection of the church and to build a life with a man who had wanted a life with her sister.

Iris was my favorite character, and I saw her as a victim and heroine.

It was a very good triangle for a show which needed its viewers to stay with them and to identify with the past storylines.

I think that Ms. Moltke was right for Victoria and that Ms. Barrett was perfect for Carolyn.

I especially enjoyed Carolyn during the time that Elizabeth was in the hospital, having been put there due to a type of spell placed by Laura.

Carolyn had always been somewhat passive in family buisiness, and Roger needed her approval or signature on some papers. Rather than continueing to be pasive, she took an interest in the situation. She refused to sign anything until she understood what she was signing, and she stood up to her Uncle Roger (who had always called her "Kitten").

Art Wallace or Frances Swann only allowed for an episode or possibly two, then, when Elizabeth returned to Collinwood, Carolyn acted the same way ths had, with a heightened curiosity about her father and a hatred for both Jason and Willie.

The writers should have allowed the independent Carolyn to have remained.

I understand that a new and not-so-innocent role was later written for Alexandra Moltke to play. (I think that it was Joanna Mills in 1840.)

Dianna Millay also had agreed to return to Dark Shadows shortly before it was cancelled. She did appear in Night of Dark Shadows because the role on the show was not possible.

Of course, Mason Adams was later on Another World, and Skatts Cotsworth was on either Somerset or As the World Turns.

Claire was my favorite actress in the role of Dorian. I enjoyed the others, though. I remember that Claire Mallis and Robin Strasser both appeared in the same episode of Civil Wars on ABC.

It was good to see Mandel Kramer. He was later on The Guiding Light and The Edge of Night (until retirement).

I had not known that Amzie Strickland had appeared on a radio serial. I know that she was on the television serial Full Circle.

Fran Carlon was on As the World Turns as Julia Burke (mother of Susan) and even later on the primetime serialized drama The Hamptons.

It was also good to see William Johnstone in a pre-As the World Turns role (He played Judge James Lowell for many years.). He also played the title role on radio's The Shadow. Does anyone know if he was married?

The Full Circle on CBS was also produced in California.

Carolyn Groves had also played a role on The Edge of Night about quite a few years earlier.

Who were Alex, Jennifer, and Amada Spaulding?

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.

Max, the shows All My Children and One Life to Live are not back yet. The premieres are on April 29, at which time the suggestions you make would be appropriate.

I had not known that Marilyn Chris (who I LOVED on All My Children and I adored on One Life to Live) had been married to the late Ric Mancini prior to her marriage to Lee Wallace.

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.

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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.

I think that the late Michael Zaslow and Susan Herford Zaslow were both writers. However, Mrs. Zaslow did not act.

I wonder on which episode it was that Sadie Gray was first seen.

I am not complaining, but the audio quality is terrible. I can barely hear what they are saying.
