Christy Bingham arrived in late June 1979 and caught Wes Osbourne’s eye but Wes was already dating Gina Gaspero. When Gina fell pregnant, Christy tried to convince her to have an abortion. She gave her a home remedy to induce abortion but Gina went into convulsions. At the hostpital, Gina learned she wasn’t pregnant after all and was sent back to her parents’ by her brother in late September. Christy was written off at the same time.

A few cast questions from Love of Life:

Who played Reverend Brewster in the Bambi Brewster story?

Who played Guido Gaspero in the Gaspero story?

Who played Herbert Lodge, Judith Lodge Raven's father in a video upthread?

Who played Cordelia Sanders in 1969? What was her relationship to Vanessa ?

Who played Frankie Sills, the informant in the Ian Russell story? Mildred Russell, Ian's wife?

Who played Joel Stratton , boyfriend of Amy Russell[1979]?

Who played Muldoon, the reporter? Big Al Barton? Denton the murderer of Murano?

As always thank you to anyone with any info...I really appreciate it.

Christopher Wyatt played Joel Stratton. He is featured in the disco clip on youtube with Dana Delaney. Wyatt appeared from August 1979 until the shows final episodes.

Bruce Ornstein played Guido Gaspero. I believe he is featured in one of the CBS promos that are or were on youtube.

I believe Jon-Michael Reed listed a lot minor casting in his syndicated column, but I don't recall names off the top of my head. I'm pretty sure he listed a bunch of the actors who appeared in the Brewster/Des Moines story.

Ocala Star-Banner has his column and their archives are available via Google Newspapers.

From said column, Frank Elmore played Dr. Hall in 1979. He was involved in the Brewster plot. James Congdon was Scott Carmichael, Meg's love interest under Jean Holloway. I believe another actor played the role, but Reed lists Congdon departing the role in July around the time Rick Weber left and Leah Ayres (Christy) and Michael Beirne (Clay Walker, Mia's pal and Ben's editor).

    • It sure was!  With respect, how does that make sense?  These men are young, I don't see that. 
    • I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

    • I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.
    • Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.
    • I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).
    • Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.  
    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
