Did Audrey ever remarry? Interesting that they state she will be taking time off in a few years-what was that about?

I don't think she did, but I'm not sure. I guess they meant she'd take time off to recuperate from all the work.

Who were those two characters?

August 1972 Daytime TV casting news.

Nita Ray was a gun moll of mobster Franky Sills. Franky and the nefarious Ian Russell had been involved in illegal activities. Rick Latimer, attempting to get Arlene away from Ian, tracked down Franky through Nita, and attempted to persuade him to spill his guts. Ian discovered what Rick was up to and had Franky murdered. Nita appeared during the summer of 1977. July, I presume, from the date on the photo.

Zachary Bly was a friend of attorney Elliott Lang, who married Ben's ex-wife Betsy Crawford. His character was introduced as a love interest for Lynn Henderson, but Lynn was written out shortly thereafter, leaving Zachary with nothing to do. He wasn't around very long in the summer and autumn of 1978.

Thanks. I guess that was just more writer turnover (was this when Gabrielle Upton came in?). Too bad. He looks like he had potential to be the slightly offbeat leading man that LOL seemed to excel at casting.
