Oh no. Penny later married Roy McGuire. He was the ex-husband (and a former convict) who was the ex-wife of Penny's sister-in-law Sandy Wilson McGuire. Roy and Sandy had a little boy (Jimmy); Roy wanted to get custody of the boy, so he married Penny, who was unable to bear children.

Konrad Mathai played Roy. He returned to As the World Turns later to play the original Grant Coleman (and was later replaced by James Douglas).

I remember that he took a trip out of town. It was some type of medical conference. I think that Mr. Lipton was filming a movie with Sammy Davis, Jr. Neil was gone for a while, then Penny got the news that he had died. I don't remember how he died, however.

The upstairs hallway was shown, and the audience heard Penny's reaction upon hearing the news. She did not hear it onscreen.

I have two comments on the interview with Teal Ames:

1. She mentioned her big break as being on The Edge of Night. However, she did not mention the role of Della Steet on the Perry Mason radio serial. I wonder why not? (Am I correct that she played this role?)

2. Teal Ames resembles Emily Prager, who later played her daughter Laurie. I bet that was a factor in the casting of Miss Prager.

three requests: Could something be posted about Laurel Delmar (Laurie Keaton), Deborah Solomon/Steinberg (Amanda Holmes), or the actress who played Pat Holland Dixon?

I realized, after I had posted, that Mr. Beck had played a doctor when the physicians were striking against the Riverside Hospital. I am not sure how to check personal messages.

The show REALLY made a mistake in killing off Leslie Jackson!

I had assumed that the set was based after the set of the original series (I am talking about the Peyton Mansion set.). They were very similar, with two stairways that led to oposite directions, then returned to the same direction.

Admittedly, there were fans (such as you) who did not care for a particular couple. However, Vic and Laurie (and I did mean Lamont, not Hastings) were a couple that most viewers wanted to get back together. Particularly after he remarried Kay Reynolds.

I wonder what other role it was that Ms. Kennedy auditioned?

Brian was the son of Stephanie and brother of Suzi.

Is that actor Michael Beck (The Warriors) playing the worker at Frank's campaign office?

Actress Elizabeth Eis, who played three roles on Dark Shadows, died earlier this year.

I always liked actress Grace Matthews, who had played Claudia Dillman on The Guiding Light. Would you see if there is any information that you can post about her?

Prior to being cast on Trapper John, M. D., actress Mary McCarthy (who, I understand, had been a child actress) played a girlfriend of Ray Gardner's on All My Children. This woman was physically abused by Ray, but, eventually, she did something that would put an end to Ray's current reighn of terror in Pine Valley.

Does anyone know this character's name? The first name was Birtha, but I have no idea about the last name.

I wish that Camilla (Mary Layne) and Spencer (Richard Borg) had been shown at the party.

Originally considered for the role of Minnie was the late actress/singer Lillian Hayman (One Life to Live, All My Children).

I had never known that Dack Rambo (later on All My Children and Another World) had been billed as Norman Rambo.

O'Brien probably joined the show following the cancellation of Our Private World, the primetime serial.

Ruby Holbrook, the then-wife of Hal Holbrook, later played Wilma Marlowe #2 on All My Children.

Mr. Holbrook later married Dixie Carter (The Edge of Night, The Doctors).

Yes, Henry Slesar eventually reconciled Adam Drake and Nicole. However, a more interesting couple (Steve Gutherie and Deborah Saxon) were never reunited. Also, I believe (althought this could have been done by Lou Schofied and Margaret DePriest) that Slesar began the show when Adam was in a relationship with Roxanne Carey (played by actress Martha Gilphen). Someone told me that there was a hasty scene which ended that relationship, but I had missed it.

I think that everyone on earth would have been happy had Laurie Karr and her husband Vic Hastings reconcilled. I think that Liz Hillyer and Steve Prentiss should have returned to one another (again, that couple could have been seperated by Schofield and DePriest). I think that most pople waited for Tony Cooper and Jill Farmer on Somerset reunion.

Was Slesar responsible for breaking up Sam and Lahoma Lucas?

Miss Gray certainly was pretty!

Is it possible to print something about Doug Chapin (Tony Cooper #1)?

I am still trying to learn the name of a character on Loving. He was an African-American high school student who was the son of Corinth's Lt. Art Hindman. He was in class with the character that Luke Perry played. He did not know how to read, but he had been socially promoted every year despite the fact that he was iliterate.

I have confused Mary and Sandra too over the years.

That article was written by Robert LaGuardia, who later wrote the book Soap World.

I wonder how it came about that Ron Martin was cast on the show since he was a twenty-one-year-old non-acting singer at the time?

These two never got married. Susan later replaced Kate Capshaw in the role of Jinx Avery Mallory on The Edge of Night (also written by Henry Slesar). I think that she came from California to act in the role after Ms. Capshaw was cast in the lead of A Little Sex.

Miss Graham later played Jean Scott on The Guiding Light. (I think that the character's first name was Jean.) Then, she disappeared to me, but I saw her on an episode of All My Children in 1984.
