Malcolm Groome (Pat #1): Y IS FOR YOGA (1977)

Thanks for continuing to share these with us. The 70s soap magazines provide so many unique types of discussions which would never be asked today - talking about therapy, EST, astrology, and so on. Malcolm seems like a fascinating person.

I loved Louise's response too. She seems like a hoot.

I enjoy reading them, too.

Some things about the actors' lives are repeated in these interviews, from various magazines, but I always learn a new tidbit or two.

Magazine were very different back then.

Catherine Hicks (Faith #3): I FEEL SORRY FOR A LOT OF MEN TODAY

One of Catherine's friends from Cornell, who was the actress who worked as a nurse, was Sharon Gabet. Sharon played Raven #2 on The Edge of Night. She also had roles on Another World as Britttany and One Life to Live as Melinda #3 .

This is fascinating stuff. I'd love to have seen Sharon, Catherine, and Jordan Clarke all acting together. I never knew that Catherine was in the running to play Holly on GL. I can't see that.

Ana Alicia (Alicia): HELLO, IS THIS LINDA?...I MEAN ANA ALICIA?

Thanks. That interview was a lot of fun. Poor Linda Ortiz.

From the July 1979 TV Dawn to Dusk & Daytime Stars (Ideal Publishing), an interview with John Blazo.

Thanks.

A few years ago, I had found this, online, about John Blazo. It's from 2001.

The Morning Call/John Blazo

[DRW50]

Thanks for sharing that. I have always felt that Blazo didn't get a chance as Pat. He played Pat as thoughtful, scared - which Pat should have been at that time - but still had Pat's humor and charm. They gave him underwhelming stories, first the reunion with the VERY frosty Karen Gowdy version of Faith, and then the story with Nancy, where, as they even pointed out in a scene, the two actors looked like siblings. I wish they'd kept him around instead of having that shockingly bad recast, followed by banishing Pat for two years.
