Here are a couple of blasts from the past!

 Andrew, in particular, was a familiar face in tv and movies before and after RH. The story supposedly is that RH let him go after 2 years because they feared the audience identified him too strongly with his "Dirty Harry" film role. But he appeared in a lot of tv shows in the 70s and 80s. And he also played Liberace in a tv biopic.
Nana was pretty young, around 20, and it was one of her earliest tv roles.

Oh!  I do remember this face of Frank Ryan, but I didn't pay much attention to actor names back in the 1970s. 

Garek was such a completely different character!


The only Ryan's Hope actor I paid attention to follow as an actor was Kate Mulgrew.  I was stoked to see Mary Ryan as Janeway.

I'm game. Heck, whenever I watch an old movie or tv show and see a familiar character actor, I'll often say "he was on Star Trek" or "she was on a soap"...sometimes both. Those are my biggest frames of reference, lol.

@janea4old I know between DS9 and RH, there was also Casey Biggs (Damar) and James Sloyan (Dr. Mora, Odo's Bajoran "father").

The simplest way to do this is to go Memory Alpha
https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Portal:Main

It has every episode of every Trek series including the animated ones, and every Trek movie.  The cast are listed at bottom of each episode with links to their IMDBs.

You could start with the main cast and frequent recurring cast of each show.  (Too many guest cast -  but they could be added much later on.)

    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse. 
    • "Aunt Blanche" first appears toward the end of this episode, about 57 minutes in.

    • You're probably right. They may have just wanted edits of certain characters. Hopefully the rest is around.
    • Of course!

      I'm wondering if there were bits cut from this footage, because to me it seems that may be the case. At 11:23, Laurie tells her psychiatrist that the bar phoned and told her Mark got into a fight and needs to be picked up. It starts to fade to the next scene, you hear some different music begin and get cut off between the static, and where you'd expect to see the aftermath of the fight, we cut back to a later scene of Laurie in bed worrying about what's happening. The credits at the end also show that more than Mark, Laurie and Dr. Northcote should have been in this episode. Another character, Brody, played by Ed Setrakian, is mentioned but not shown. If this is the case, perhaps the original fan who saved this episode has the additional scenes.
    • Anyway… It’s a shame that the video that depicted Leticia’s death was removed from YT.

      I've never seen a trainwreck like this in my entire life. 5 pencils and 3 dolls?!!!!!!!!!!! (this little moment starts close to the 7th minute) WOW. THIS IS HAPPENING IN AMERICA?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   
    • Ms. Phelps holds a BFA in directing from Carnegie Mellon University, awarded in 1972. At a time when women were underrepresented in directing programs, she was one of the few women in her graduating class. To suggest that she possessed no further talents than completely changing the style of music used on soaps seems like a vast underestimate when one reads her online biography through an objective lens. I guess that I should be more clever than to constantly blame misogyny for these misguided interpretations of her management style.  But, I'll never comprehend why fans unquestionably align their opinions even years after fact. Post-modernism, and the ability to reinterpret context through the study of history, seems to elude this conversation.
