This may or may not have been mentioned somewhere in this thread, but April 27th was the date Audrey Peters first appeared.

Robert Alda first appeared as Jason Ferris on August 30, 1966, as a new neighbor of Van and Bruce's.

American Home Products sold both The Secret Storm and Love of Life to the network at the same time.

The network seemed to pair The Secret Storm and Love Is a Many Splendored Things together (using some of the same production workers) and Love of Life and Where the Heart Is.

After the shows' cancellations, American Home Products repurchased the rights to both shows. Of all the cancelled shows, The Secret Storm came the closest to actually being syndicated. (I know that some stations had agreed to air the syndicated version which never materialized.) The company then tried to sell the show to NBC, but the network decided instead to air How to Survive a Marriage.

During part of the 1980s, NBC had rights to both Love of Life and The Secret Storm. I think that the company still owns the shows.

Ray was a Gaspero who used the name Slater.

Vicky Harcourt was around in the 50's I think but I don't recall any more about her off thre top of my head.

Thom Christopher's Earl Merrick was the prosecuter who succeeded in having Arlene found guilty of the murder of Ian Russell.I guess he was on for 13 weeks.

I'm sorry to hear this. I didn't know he was Captain Video. From the little I've seen of him on LOL he was stalwart, solid, and I could see why he was popular with viewers. I wonder if they ever asked him back when they brought Paul back from the dead.

Thanks for letting us know about this.

We're lucky that several episodes of early/mid 50s Love of Life exist. Here's one with him.

    • It was a good episode. I didn't expect things to unravel so soon.   One thing I still don't like about these big events: Where was everyone else?   This is a big event. Everyone should've been there.
    • Mitch, thanks for that history of the Reardon Boarding House kitchen.  I had always assumed that every time the kitchen set returned, it was a recreation of the original set.  So I have been wrong about that.   Was the kitchen set ever used later, while Buzz and the Coopers owned the boarding house?  
    • color me shocked.

    • Do they ever do anything well?  The show is about 4 week story arcs - if that it feels like.  Why wouldn’t you spend a month of subtle hints.  Late to events and don’t telegraph it.  Have repeated issues with time; I had a friend whose Mom suddenly was forgetting half the meal in the fridge to be heated for a meal; twice her husband had to go to her work to get her because she was still working and only noticed no one was there until he walked in to find her and make her come home (it was a doctor’s office, there’s not that kind of job);  knowing she had an appointment and not be worried by it, etc.   No, they have him do a head bonk and bam it’s cancer.     It’s almost an insult.

    • Today showed why almost no one comments on this crap soap. -- We're back to pretending that there aren't SCORES of cosmetics companies out there --  only Jabot and whoever else opens up shop in Genoa City to be the competition. No real business runs this way. -- Marchetti is supposed to be an internationally-renowned fashion house, yet both Chelsea and Sally are ready to walk after being high-level executives there. -- It's not often women leave choice executive positions in their field of expertise to work in a business they're clueless about. -- Sally had a lot of nerve shading Chelsea with "It's easy to see Adam's influence on you" when the same damn thing is happening with Billy. -- I'm glad Lauren told Michael to quit, since we've all been mouthing that for weeks. None of that story is helped by CLB's over-the-top acting. -- The scene with Victoria helping a sick, coughing Cole walk to their car on the way to the hospital was laughable. Wouldn't rich people call a damn ambulance? -- Claire was really concerned, wasn't she? She stayed in the doorway instead of helping her mother, and then headed right to Crimson Lights for coffee. Why bother with checking on her possible terminal father at the hospital?
    • Leslie couldn't get her Clair Huxtable evening dress for prom, but she finally got it now.
    • Lol!  Why?  Just sincerely asking not judging.  It did have a lot of action happening I suppose.
