I believe they were Gracie Harrison (Greta) and Ben Thomas (Jack).

I have a Daytime TV article from 1977 regarding "Q" ratings for daytime stars. Apparently, this was the first year daytime actors and actresses were included in the ratings. Kathy Glass ranked #2 among daytime actresses behind Susan Seaforth Hayes and ahead of Jacqueline Courtney, Victoria Wyndham, and Denise Alexander.

Whatever happened to Kathy Glass? It seems she just vanished into obscurity.

IIRC, SOW or SOD interviewed her for their big "Where Are They Now?" issue several years ago, and in that interview, she talked about her new life working with prisoners.

[amybrickwallace]

Thanks - how interesting. Is it a prison ministry? Does/did she work with male or female prisoners, or both?

[Khan]

I think she works with male prisoners, but I'm not sure if the ministry is involved.

[amybrickwallace]

Hmmmm...interesting. Thank you, Khan.

I saw Kathy Glass on Return to Peyton Place and One Life to Live.

She was DEFINATELY my favorite Allison McKenzie and my favorite Jenny Woleck Siegel Vernon.

I just read that actress Kathy Bates had appeared on The Doctors. That is news to me. I remember her from both All My Children and One Life to Live. Who did she play on The Doctors.

Also, I read (maybe a year ago) that actress Valerie Harper had also appeared on The Doctors. I think that this was probably in the very early years before the story became serialized. Does anyone know anything about her appearance?

(I also read that Miss Harper was considered for a role in the movie version of West Side Story. I guess that her appearance on The Doctors was after that.)

Bates played Phyllis, a friend of Sara Dancy Powers from the Peace Corps. I believe she was in town for Sara's wedding.

A lot of well known daytime and primetime performers appeared on The Doctors when it was a daily and then weekly anthology.I'm sure a complete list would reveal some interesting names.

Aldrich family question: Stacy Wells Summers was Jason Aldrich's stepdaughter. Was Doreen Fleming Aldrich her mother, or was it another of Jason's ex wives?

[Paul Raven]

From a summary posted earlier in the thread

After Matt, Nola began flirting with Jason but Jason’s estranged wife, Doreen arrived in town. She made plans with Kyle to build a children’s wing dedicated to her late daughter Stacy.
