The Doctors Discussion Thread

Jada is the Carolee that was there when I watched The Doctors back in the 70s and 80s. So it's great to see her though I do miss Carolee Campbell. My husband told me his mom watched The Doctors and "hated the new Carolee." In the spring of 1977, a new character appears named Jeffie Rowland. Not sure how long he lasts but Jada Rowland's brother was named Jeffrey.

 

You're right about Althea no longer being an essential part of the puzzle. I think that's why Marland writes her out. In one interview, he was not pleased with Hubbard rewriting her dialogue.

I wonder now if the other people who complained about edited PP eps actually purchased LEGIT Shout Factory discs, or if they were fooled into buying knock-offs on-line, thinking they were the real deal. I know that Rhoda, season one, was released by Shout with many syndication-version episodes, however, so who knows? You will see as you make your way through future PP eps, I guess. Please let me know what you find.

 

I recorded the UK version of QAF when it was broadcast on cable, and never ended up buying the studio-released version, simply because I did not want to pay for badly-edited DVDs without the essential, original music. I naively purchased the first few seasons of BH 90210, only to discover to my abject horror that almost all of the music had been hacked away, along with many key scenes. NEVER again. Since then, I always keep my VHS tapes of favorite shows, and will only upgrade to official DVD releases if I am certain they have not been tampered with. Not only did the first releases of LHOTP have major scenes sliced out, but the opening and closing credits were deleted from 75% of the episodes too. It's surreal that the studio, Ima Vision, thought they could get away with offering absolute garbage to the public. (The Time-Life release of China Beach, on the other hand, was WONDERFUL, with almost all the original and essential soundtrack intact.)

 

 

Endlessly-rotating hack headwriters has been the downfall of many soaps. Marland did not do his best work on TD, but after seeing AHB's dreadful material on HTSAM, I thank heavens she did not take over TD. Ugh. It's too bad the show could not have rehired Rita Lakin again long term, or found ANY solid writer to stick with the program and keep it from sinking into oblivion. After Marland departs, the only other good scribe the show will ever hire is Harding Lemay, and even he did not do his best work here, or last very long on this show. 

 

 

Right, to each his own. Folks have told me that they did not like Irna Phillip's, Bill Bell's and Harding Lemay's work because it was too draggy and "internal," while that is exactly the type of soap I love to watch. On the other hand, when people praise Reilly, Pratt and Sheffer to the sky, I want to gag. We all have our own tastes.

Althea and Nick should've remarried and she should have exited with him. I suppose Hubbard was in the middle of a contract but there's nothing for her to do. Maybe they could have created another new love interest but Tom Barrett and Scott Conrad both fizzled. And it was clear that Althea only belonged with Nick.

 

When the announcer said the "role of Carolee is now being played by Jada Rowland," he pronounced it "Jadda." I always thought it was "Jayda." So I was glad to learn how to say it correctly.

I believe you about AHB... I watched her brief stint as head-writer of Days circa 1989 to early 1990.. and she was quickly fired with the show doing a PR explanation that her writing didn't match what they were looking for (claiming it going from action/romance to just plain action.).

 

However, she is a good script-writer based on what I saw of her stuff on the show.

 

From what I've read, Marland does have her and Paul running the hospital after Matt's resignation.. with Paul plotting to unseat Althea so at least she does get into the action before being fired.

 

And this 'Bob Cessna'.. not impressed with his script writing.. but soap writing is different than stage plays.. so that's probably why.

Glad Hubbard gets more to do in the weeks/months ahead.

 

I'm really loving the show again. It feels like it's gone back to The Doctors I know. Like it's found itself. I hope we never see the Conrad home again. DePriest was just so far afield with the Conrads. The show is at its best when we stick to the hospital, the Powers home and the Aldrich home. I think Marland understands how Billy and Greta link the main families. And I think it's completely on target focusing on the Steve-Billy conflict, since it's kind of reminiscent of the Matt-Mike conflict-- where we have a father who genuinely loves his son but is often at odds with him. Dave O'Brien's acting has greatly improved with this storyline. And putting M.J. into it has been good too. It just feels like the show is heading in the right direction now, and when Carolee finally gets back to Madison, there should be plenty of repercussions for everyone.

 

My favorite early episode of Marland's is the one where Ann brought the presents over for Erich and Stephanie. Such excellent irony, where Steve is thanking Ann for making the kids happy again, when we know Ann's doing all she can to block Carolee from returning-- so she's playing a role in their ongoing unhappiness. Marland's toned Ann down...she's not a cartoon villain now like she was under DePriest...she's more of a calculating schemer who is just trying to ensure she gets what she needs.

 

I still think Armand is miscast as Mike. His acting is fun to watch, he's clearly having fun with his costars. But he's not the right type to play Mike. They should have just had him play a new character. Or else made it that he turned out to be an impostor and thus someone else.

 

Glad we're still seeing Sam at the nurses station. How long does she stay on the show? I wonder if the actress was related to or married to someone in charge of the show. She seems to survive all the head writing changes.

 

Martha feels totally adrift. I sense that Marland doesn't quite know what to do with her and Ernie. They're just there in Tony and Mike's scenes. They need a small crisis of their own. Everyone else has drama except them.

The Conrads are far from gone. Eleanor gets a new storyline this coming week and I believe is connected to the hospital. Wendy is recast in 1977.

 

Armand seems to have checked out to me. His acting is quite lackluster at times. I won't miss him when he leaves. I never bought him as Mike.

 

Martha'a days are numbered with Toni gone, Mike leaving in a few minutes, and the lab no longer being prominent. I wish Marland had rethought Martha's position at Hope Memorial. I've loved Sally Gracie's performances and will miss her terribly when Martha is eventually written out.

I should clarify that I like Eleanor and I'm looking forward to the story with her and Luke. But my earlier comment was about the Conrad set, which I don't really want to see. To me they were never successfully established as a prominent family. DePriest tried to shoehorn them into almost every episode and the episodes where the bulk of scenes took place in their living room just felt like another show, barely connected to Hope Memorial and the other families.

 

To me Eleanor and Wendy are supporting characters that should live in a hotel suite and turn up at the restaurant and occasionally at the hospital if they have medical-related business. On another site I stated that I felt if Eleanor had been Maggie's sister or Matt's cousin, then she and her daughter (and husband while he was on the show) could have been more integrated with a main family. But Eleanor's main connection is to Althea which always seems forced. If Eleanor had actually been related to one of the show's main tent pole characters then we could see her and Wendy logically involved in other storylines. It doesn't surprise me the Conrads didn't last beyond 1977.

 

Is this stuff with Toni's mother an exit story for Toni, or does she come back later? I haven't yet read any Soap Opera Digest synopses though I am tempted to do that so I can prepare for what Marland will be covering. I figure Martha's exit will be rather lackluster. As you say, the lab has not been prominent for a while, since Tom Barrett's death. Instead of making Mike a police officer, which was completely ridiculous, DePriest should have put Mike in the lab and had him take over Tom's position on staff. That would have caused Mike to interact with Toni when Alan was still in the picture, and it would have given Martha more to do.

 

I figure Martha's relationship with Ernie will just fall by the wayside, there probably won't be a marriage for them. They are basically filler, "C" plot material (not even a "B" plot).

 

Another character that has no purpose is Hank. Under the Pollocks, Hank and Laurie were an integrated black couple, involved in the hospital and connected to other main characters. The minute Jeff Young fired the actress who plays Laurie, we basically had Hank adrift, now functioning as the show's token black character with zero dimension. I expect his exit to be without much fanfare. Cenedella and DePriest were not invested him, and I can see Marland just deciding to cut losses  and get rid of him. After Hank leaves, are there any more minority characters in regular roles?

If I remember correctly (and it is a long time ago), Eleanor takes over Paul's apartment after he's written out. For some reason, I have memories of Eleanor in that set.

 

My understanding is that Toni is gone. Mike departs in December 1976 and then returns in April 1977. I read that they had planned to recast Toni but went in a different direction after Armand departed. Toni's departure was so abrupt...and lackluster. She was on the show for nearly six years and just disappears upstairs to pack. No final shots in the closing credits with her and Mike, Maggie, Matt, and Martha. It made me wonder if it was retribution for Anna Stuart being so vocal in the media about her displeasure with the show's writing and direction.

 

Hank departs in December, too, just as Mike leaves. Petronia played Jessie Rawlings I believe. I thought I read that TD planned an inter-racial story for her but it was nixed because of the negative reaction to the Valerie/David romance on Days. Petronia was fired after a year. There were a few other Black actresses on TD in later years. Carolyn Byrd was on around 1980 as Dr. Terri Foster. And her mother appears, too. Then, Chris Calloway was Ivie Gooding, who fell in love with Luke. And Larry Riley played Calvin Barnes.

Thanks. I had edited my previous comment because I thought I was going off on a tangent about black characters. But I'm glad you quoted me and answered. I think Count Stovall also has a role, according to cast info on the show's wiki page. Petronia Paley played the mother of a black family on Guiding Light in the mid-90s but they didn't last more than a year or two.

 

Hard to believe this was Anna Stuart's last episode. She was one of the show's most important secondary characters. She had paid her dues. Big mistake losing her and the character of Toni. Did she go on to another soap right away? She certainly fared better in the 80s and 90s on Another World. She's a great actress. The minute Alan left, Toni and Mike headed into dullsville. Armand's silly little on screen antics and his laughing while delivering lines couldn't save what they were being handed to play. DePriest damaged both characters. Hopefully the recast Mike is an improvement.

 

So it sounds like, by what you're saying, the Conrad set is no longer used, especially if Eleanor takes over Paul's place a bit later. Right now Marland seems content to focus everything on the hospital, the Aldriches, the Powers and the Dancys. I would imagine he stops using Althea's place since she no longer has a love life, and he probably stops using Martha's home if her screen time is reduced and she's written out, and especially if Toni and Mike are gone.

 

This show does not handle cast exits well. Laurie's exit was a non-event. Andy's exit was odd. Karen just disappeared without being mentioned anymore. Alan's exit was abysmal. Scott's exit was rushed. Now we have Toni's speedy goodbye.

Where is it written that you have to talk well of previous jobs.  In her defense, she had mentioned that there were two or three writer changes so the whole focus/motivation of the character fell by the wayside.  I did laugh about how she said Nola was incredibly stupid, since the Nola of 1976 seems pretty with it and smart.

Stuart joined GH in January 1977 as Dr. Gina Dante. She played the role for one year. After she left, she was very ill and didn’t work for three years. The late John Shearin is the next Mike. Very good actor.

 

No idea if the Conrad set continues to be used. And I’m not sure my memories of Eleanor in Paul Summers’ apartment are correct. That’s over 40 years ago. But I seem to recall seeing Eleanor and Wendy in that set. I remember the windows, which are so distinctive.

 

You’re right about the exits. Add to your list Liz and her sudden departure. And Jody Lee who just vanished after being so prominent.

You've been reading the comments under the post, haven't you?

 

I'm not one of those people who believe that anyone has to speak positively of a previous experience, especially if it's not the truth of their experience. (of course, those of us who go to job interviews know we have to use diplomacy when speaking of a previous work experience, even with sh*t jobs, lol.  For actors, especially 40-50 years ago, there's no incentive to try to 'pretty things up'). 

 

Then again, Kathleen Turner said that she did once introduce herself to Lauren Bacall by saying "Hi, I'm the young you". So she's never been in the business of being that polite.

 

I was looking at the dates and it looks as if there were two different writers between 1976-1979.  There were also two different Noras, no?  Marland may have left before or just as Turner was beginning on the show.

Marland leaves in 1977 and is replaced by Mel and Ethel Brez. I believe Turner arrives in January 1978. There are many writing changes on the horizon. I don’t recall the timing but Ronnie and Lawrence Konner, Linda Grover, Elizabeth Levin, Harding Lemay, Barbara Morgenroth and Leonard Kantor, the Brezes are yet to come.

 

And there were three Nolas: Kathryn Harrold from 1976 til around January 1978, then Kathleen Turner till mid-1979, and finally Kim Zimmer.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
    • GH 1976 Pt 8 Heather takes advantage of the situation by asking Jeff to come and look at Tommy. She uses sympathy, compassion, and her own feminine wiles, together with his misery and his pills, to lure him into bed. Later, sober, he apologizes. Learning from Pearson that Monica has seen a divorce lawyer, Jeff confronts her, and she insists it’s a lie. Avoiding his attempts to kiss her, she musses her hair and tears her blouse, then rushes to Rick’s, claiming that she can’t stay with that maniac any longer. They wind up in Rick’s bed, and after making love he confesses he always loved her. Rick replies to her question of whether he wants to marry her by saying he has to talk to Jeff. Monica insists that Jeff not bear any pressure from their problems. As she leaves, Rick gives her a key to his apartment. Jeff, having spent the night drinking, misses his surgical assignment, and Steve, informing him that his personal life can’t interfere with his profession, puts him on suspension. Rick can’t persuade Steve to reverse his decision, but Mark, sensing what’s at the heart of Jeff’s problem, convinces Steve to lift Jeff’s suspension and transfer him to Mark’s service. Rick asks for his key back, telling Monica they can’t do anything as long as she’s under Jeff’s roof. So she has a duplicate made and moves into intern’s quarters, explaining that Jeff’s violence drove her out. She tells Jeff she needs privacy to work things out, and tells Rick Jeff wanted her out. Thinking that this is the preliminary to a divorce, Rick tells her she can come to his place. In New York, Leslie’s abortion is delayed by a mix-up in scheduling, and she calls Terri to commiserate. Rick overhears Terri’s conversation and forces the whole story from her. He flies to New York to stop Leslie, feeling responsible for pointing out how evil Cam was, and arrives to find that she has decided she can’t deny her child the right to live. Monica, meanwhile, expecting that Rick will be home, uses her key to let herself into his apartment and is shocked to find Mark there; knowing that Mark was uncomfortable at the hotel, Rick offered Mark use of the apartment in his absence. Monica is upset to learn that Rick is in New York with Leslie, and Mark doesn’t know why. Mark does advise Monica to play fair with Jeff, but she resents his interference. The next day, while covering for Leslie at the clinic, Monica discovers Leslie’s lab test report and jumps to the conclusion that the baby is Rick’s. When Rick and Leslie return, Monica wastes no time in accusing him. He is dismayed to see that she is still as suspicious and possessive as she was before he went to Africa, and points out that her making a duplicate  key proves she hasn’t changed. Terri encourages Leslie to see Rick in a romantic light and then suggests to Rick that Leslie is interested in him. Rick likes this idea and tells Mark he’s growing ‘unwilling to cope with Monica’s unreasonable demands. But Monica immediately recognizes the threat Leslie represents and decides to attack. She goes to Leslie and tells her flatly that she and Rick are having an affair and he’s her exclusive property. Leslie, who realizes she has been falling in love with Rick, is hurt, and Rick is mystified when he feels Leslie pulling away from him. Monica’s big moment comes when she brings Rick a housewarming gift and seduces him into letting her stay overnight. She is in the bedroom when Leslie stops by to apologize for refusing his dates, and makes a dramatic entrance into the living room draped in Rick’s bathrobe. Leslie turns and runs out. Rick later informs her he’s disappointed in her, because she prejudged Monica and him rather than giving him the benefit of the doubt. Heather tries to arrange another tryst with Jeff, but he replies that he still loves his wife. Heather decides there’s only one way to get Jeff to be pregnant with his child. She manages to overhear Monica putting Jeff down by telling him he no longer turns her on and should look for someone he does. Heather goes to Jeff and tells him that she heard Monica and that she is the one he’s looking for. She manages to get him into bed again, and sweetly assures him this is right. She then sets the stage for future meetings. Steve, meanwhile, offers to help Monica and Jeff work out their problems. Jeff is willing, but Monica turns the idea down. Instead, she presses Terri to convince Jeff to end the marriage. Terri now knows that Monica isn’t a good wife for Jeff and promises to try. But Jeff makes it clear to Monica that he still loves her and won’t let her go. She is bitter and upset, as she has already implied to Rick that she will soon be free. Audrey is upset to find that Florence Andrews has been inquiring about Tommy and herself. She goes to Florence’s home and finds she’s away now. Florence has gone down to Mexico to sign a sworn statement that she purchased a false death certificate for Tom, to protect his son after his wrongful conviction. Tom, learning from her that Steve and Audrey are to be married and Steve is planning to adopt Tommy, tells  Florence not to do anything, as there’s still no assurance that he’ll ever get out. But the judge does accept the statement, and, ironically, on the day that Steve  and Audrey are married, Tom is released from prison.
    • 1976 Pt 12 Final part Laurie agrees with Stuart that Peggy is rushing into marriage to prove that the rape didn’t ruin her life.  She points out that the only way Peg can be sure is to make love with Jack before the wedding. Stuart admits she’s right but points out that he can’t suggest that to Peggy. As the wedding approaches, Peg seems happy that Jack’s become close to the family. However, her happiness is shattered by a nightmare in which her loving bridegroom turns into a leering Ron Becker, forcing her to cancel the wedding. Jack reassures her he’ll wait as long as it takes, and Chris confides that she and Snapper didn’t consummate their marriage on their wedding night because of her own rape experience, but Peggy tells Chris she might never be ready.  Despite her desire to keep Karen as her own daughter, Chris helps a police artist create a sketch of Nancy so it can be printed in the newspaper as part of a search for her. When the attempt proves fruitless, however, Chris asks Greg to file application for permanent custody of the child. Greg points out that adoption is the only way to prevent Ron from returning and claiming the child, and that it will take quite a while. Meanwhile, a nurse in the psychiatric ward sees a resemblance  between the newspaper drawing and her autistic patient, Mrs. Jackson, but since “Fran” doesn’t respond to the name Nancy and no one else sees the similarity, she fears she’s mistaken. Jill is horrified to overhear Kay, when brihging baby Phillip a Christmas gift, telling the child she remembers the night he was conceived. Kay has to then admit to Jill she saw her with Phillip in the bunkhouse that night. Jill is aghast to realize that Kay new the truth all along and put her through such agony in spite of it, denying her baby his father’s name. Lance tells Laurie they’ll marry on Valentine’s Day. He laughs that it’s corny but agrees, secretly wishing it were sooner, as Vanessa has vowed to prevent it. Indeed, Vanessa makes an unprecedented venture out of the house to visit Brad, telling him to rebuff any advance Leslie might make to him, as she’s reaching out to him only from a sense of duty. But Laurie then makes a concerted effort to reach Vanessa. Without being sure why she’s trying so hard, she tries to assure the woman she’s not losing Lance and she, Laurie, will help her find a plastic surgeon somewhere who can help her. Grudgingly, Vanessa seems to be reconsidering her view of Laurie, and Laurie is delighted when Lance offers her a choice between two diamond necklaces, explaining that her preference will be Vanessa’s Christmas gift. Learning from Les about Brad’s blindness, Stuart tells Brad he could have turned Leslie away only out of great love. Knowing that Les is going to see Brad again, Laurie warns him not to bring the baby into their discussion, as Leslie will come back only she’s convinced he loves her, not for the babies sake. Leslie finds Brad disheveled and sloppy, and proceeds to straighten the apartment, stating that she can't respect him if he lets himself go. Realizing that neither Brad nor Les will make the first move, Laurie hurries things along by refusing to help Brad with his grooming, saying he should ask his wife. Then, having learned  that Brad offered Les the use of their piano, Laurie untunes the Brooks' piano forcing Leslie to accept his offer. By refusing to cater to his  blindness, Les manages to get Brad to stop wallowing in pity, and by the time Leslie’s Christmas braille message of her love and her need for him arrives, they are husband and wife again Lance takes Laurie on a business trip on New Year's Eve, and tells her, on board his plane, she won't be  won't be able to call him “Mr. All Talk and No action” after tonight. When Laurie protests that waited this long and will continue to wait until married, Lance delights her by instructing his pilot to land in Las Vegas, where they are married immediately.
    • Yeah, not sure why Jack and Jen didn’t rush to Marlena - or even Carrie - to offer their condolences. A few flashbacks would've been a nice touch too. Instead, we got a whole episode of them talking about Chad and Abby? Come on. On the bright side, I loved Anna’s scenes with Marlena and Carrie - sweet and heartfelt, felt like a real 80s throwback.
