Where the Heart Is (1969-1973)

Thanks. I've heard some of those stories but didn't realize Weiss was behind them. I guess that makes sense, as his time at WTHI seemed to have some risque stories (did he come up with the priesthood and the artificial insemination stories at Secret Storm). It's too bad this didn't help the ratings for The Doctors. Perhaps by then a lot of people had left and weren't coming back.

I know. I was shocked. The face is still the same but the Emmylou Harris type hair is a big change. There's a color photo of her on the cover, a small one - I'll try to put that up sometime.

I wonder what her wardrobe was on WTHI. Her clothes on Ryan's Hope were so horribly unflattering and then it got even worse when Kimberly arrived.

Hi, it's me (edgeofnight)...I have had e-mail problems, and a lot going on (with yet another surgery), so I had to change my user name etc...I love the Jeanne Ruskin article. May I copy it and send it to her?

Since I've had these e-mail problems etc...I have missed 'talking' to all of you. Thank you, CarlD2, you're the best. Your articles cheer me up in ways that you can not imagine. I spoke to Donald May the other day. he turned 82 years old. Can you imagine? And here's another shock...he is about to become a grandfather for the FIRST TIME. He said it will be a new role for him.

Sure, if you think she'd enjoy the article. I hope she does :) If you want me to scan the actual pages of text just let me know - I usually don't because they can blur and typing them out means people can see the words.

That's great about Donald May. I hope to be as active if I get to 82.

I'm glad the articles help make you feel better. When I have a chance I will scan more.

I'll make the photocopies as they are now, if there is a problem, I will let you know. As disappointed as I am at not going to the conference, I am hoping that I am on the fast course in getting these long-standing problems resolved. All eyes are on March 10, when I have my second surgical consultation and then we will set a date for BIG surgery #1. Hey, maybe Dagne Crane (ex-Sandy ATWT 1965-71) will be my chauffeur to the hospital. The next surgery will be with a neurosurgeon -- in a race against time before the compression on my spinal chord paralyzed me...my, what fun...and I'm only 54 years old!

I am also keeping my fingers crossed that, perhaps, maybe Jeanne Ruskin, herself, will VISIT me at NYU. Wouldn't that be wild? We'd have over 40 years of soap memories to share with one another. I wrote to her about my surgery. Who knows? Stranger things have happened.

Thank you for all your help and your prayers and friendship.

Perhaps this has been asked and answered already, but does anyone here know what happened to Diana Walker, who portrayed Mary? There are a lot of actors from WTHI and LIAMST I've always been curious about, and van der Vlis and Walker are always at the top of the lists.

    • A kind angel has added both episodes to the vault (UK Diva TV broadcast version). 
    • Yes, I think that is the most likely situation.  TPTB were unhappy with the offer(s) they got from the tourism board in Finland, and decided the trip was going to be too expensive for P&G/NBC to finance alone.   I would also speculate a similar situation likely occurred a few years later with the planned location shoot in Egypt, which was also cancelled after the storyline had already started, and changed to Arizona.

    • In my usual account on my most used video hosting site with the video title  DAYS 1-8-15 Will & Paul Sex This is an edit I began when I was first teaching myself to edit & at that time I couldn't make it do what I wanted it to do. I pulled it up & finished it this morning. 
    • Or Megan is shot as retaliation for Dave's unpaid gambling debts...while Julie confesses she's the biological mother of Special Guest Star Barry Bostwick's little boy.
    • Finland seemed such an odd choice for a location shoot. ATWT went to Greece and later Spain while GL had Tenerife and there were others in that timeframe. But Finland not being a known tourist destination or offering the tropical/sunny atmosphere usually associated with location shoots seems off brand. Maybe they were negotiating a deal with a tourist association and it fell through.
    • I was talking about 1986, but the glimpses of 1982 are about the same. 
    • I skimmed some of the 1982 synopses; Steve was planning on an opening an office in Finland, and I think Jim went there as part of the preparation. That probably was a big issue; AW had already gone to San Diego that year, with Rachel/Steve/Mitch. And to upstate NY with Pete and Diana. I wonder if upstate was as expensive lol  AW in 1982 has always fascinated me, because of how messy it was 
    • That makes sense. What a messy time for the show. And any changes they made were mostly for the worse.
    • The transition from Neal to Adam was very abrupt, and to be honest my theory is that the character of Neal was designed so that we think he is super shady but then it turns out that he was on the side of good all along so Neal could have seamlessly become a hero of the BCPD with no need for Adam. I don't know whether Robert Lupone was hired on a short contract or if he was fired from a longer-term contract because they decided they wanted someone who was more of a leading man type, but I can imagine a scenario where Charles Grant did both the undercover Egyptian treasure/flirt with Victoria and the straighter-arrow day to day police investigation. But in my imagined scenario the MJ prostitution plotline probably doesn't exist and instead he probably continues a relationship with Victoria. The story seems very odd to me. I assume that David Canary would have been included only because a plotline where Steve is going to Finland in which only Rachel is seen in actual Finland seems unlikely. The synopses explicitly mention that Alice can't go with Steve but would whoever was playing Alice at that time have had the kind of clout to get the remote cancelled? It also strikes me as unlikely that production would have approved the expensive location shoot and *then* cancelled it only because of jealousy. It seems more likely that they rejected it because of the expense but then the jealousy part got added to the gossip speculatively, possibly because while it was being worked out they justified not including more castmembers because of the expense.
