Thanks for the kind words, Safe and DrW. For anyone who is interested, the Ryan's Bar Online site is now back up — http://ryansbaronline.tripod.com — hopefully for good? The content is still unchanged, and the aesthetics even more antiquated, but I'll leave it up for as long as Tripod/Lycos does the same.

When your posts alerted me to the fact that the site was gone, I figured it was worth a shot at least submitting a ticket to tech support. I got a response earlier today saying that their "systems" had "detected" the "site as a violation," and they were "working to correct the issue." I still have no idea what that means — and I wrote back to ask, but I don't know that I will hear from them again — and by the time I read the e-mail, the site was back online.

Thanks for the update ...and for the time spent trying to find out the reasons it was taken down.

That's great!! DeliaIrisFan, I have always enjoyed the Ryan's Bar site. It obviously was a labor of love.

Well, a somewhat current photo of Helen -- it's been up on the HB Studio site for well over a year. She looks good, though.

She's held up very well. She's almost 90 - God bless her!!

Writer Roger Crews has passed away. His widow is actress/writer Louise Shaffer (Search for Tomorrow, Where the Heart Is, Hidden Faces, The Edge of Night, Ryan's Hope, All My Children).

His son says that memorial arrangements have not been made, but a memorial service will probably planned to be held several weeks from now.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Louise had been mentioning on FB for some time that he had been ill. They were married for 35 years. God bless them.

RIP Betsy Palmer

The actress and game show panelist made a cameo appearance on RH in 1980 playing herself as one of the celebrities who showed up to the opening of Delia's Crystal Palace.

Day 2

Day 2 continues

I had asked this on other Ryan's Hope forums a couple years ago -- and no one there could answer this

In the November 29, 1988 Soap Opera Digest, Wes Leonard's name was in the RH synopsis. Who was playing Wes in 1988? I don't think it wasn't David Rasche - -and Sam MacMurray, well. I thought he only played the role for a limited time in 1983 because he wasn't interested in a long term soap role.


From SOD


...So the Feds are using the Novak's to flush out Dubujak. The next day, Siobhan receives more roses and a note for Max. Jack gets note from Max, too, claiming he's ready to turn himself in. Everyone's relieved. Unfortunately, it's a trick. Matt sent the roses and the two notes. It's all part of a plan to make Jack look like a fool. Max's so-called surrender is a hoax. And Wes Leonard, Jack's rival, is being paid to get it all on film.


...The door opens and a clown steps out. A stunned Jack and company stand speechlessly by as Wes and a photographer, jump out, clicking away.

Kelli Maroney (Kim) and Karen Morris-Gowdy (Faith #4)

Ilene Kristen would be in another "Saints vs. Sinners" week on FF.

Watching a December 1968 Doctors episode, it made me smile when Matt said to get Dr. Coleridge on the phone.

Cool. I wonder which Dr. Coleridge he was asking for. ;-)
