Members Vee Posted March 25, 2017 Members Share Posted March 25, 2017 I haven't a clue. I assume they've might had her play Samantha Collins or something as the original Quentin's wife, there were a lot of riffs on the 1840 storyline in NODS. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 25, 2017 Members Share Posted March 25, 2017 Another real treat about these episodes is that we are seeing Julia Duffy in her first big role before she headed west and became a beloved sitcom actress. She definitely had the same pout and whine down cold a decade before they became trademarks of her Stephanie Vanderkellen character on Newhart!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danfling Posted March 25, 2017 Members Share Posted March 25, 2017 to amybrickwallace, I believe that Clarice Blackburn and Joel Crothers may have also appeared on both The Doctors and (certainly) Dark Shadows. Robert Colbert and Ramsey Mosteller worked on both shows. Robert Costello produced both of them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted March 26, 2017 Members Share Posted March 26, 2017 Jody Lee definitely vanished when Edelstein was writing though was later mentioned visiting family. As for Liz, her send-off was hasty like Anna's. Out of the blue, she's off to visit her dad. So she did get some final scenes before Pamela Toll moved over to Somerset. But, overall, a disappointing end to such a memorable character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saynotoursoap Posted March 27, 2017 Members Share Posted March 27, 2017 C.C. Courtney took a break during Edelstein's tenure to work on his play Salvation. To explain his absence, Jody was sent down South to visit his family. Jody's final onscreen appearance was in November 1969 under Ira Avery. No explanation was given when Jody ceased appearing in the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 27, 2017 Members Share Posted March 27, 2017 Thanks. I wonder if it was Courtney's choice to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members saynotoursoap Posted March 27, 2017 Members Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) Robert Colbert was an actor who played Stuart Brooks on The Young and the Restless. To my knowledge, Mr. Colbert never appeared on Dark Shadows. Perhaps you confuse him with music director Bob Cobert. Ramse Mostoller never worked on The Doctors either. Her husband Joe Mostoller was costume designer for The Doctors. Edited March 27, 2017 by saynotoursoap incomplete sentence 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 Plus, Ohrbach's provided the fashions for both shows. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members robbwolff Posted March 28, 2017 Members Share Posted March 28, 2017 Really? I don't recall him showing up at that time. Did he have any significant scenes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 29, 2017 Members Share Posted March 29, 2017 Not really. He was just one of those characters who vanished with no explanation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 30, 2017 Members Share Posted March 30, 2017 Someone on this show must have really loved The Carpenters (who, by 1973, WERE one of the biggest musical acts in the business). Penny and Mike met at the ice cream shop, where "I Won't Last a Day Without You" was playing. In one of today's reruns, Mike was getting high on "pep pills" while "Top of the World" played. I don't quite think that's what Richard Carpenter and John Bettis had in mind when they wrote that song!!

Members DRW50 Posted March 30, 2017 Members Share Posted March 30, 2017 Considering Richard Carpenter's own pill addiction it's eerily appropriate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted March 30, 2017 Members Share Posted March 30, 2017 I know - I was thinking the same thing (and he was addicted to sleeping pills, just like Mike). His pill addiction finally came to a head in late 1978, and he had to go to a rehab center in Kansas to finally kick the habit. This is what led Karen to go to NYC to cut a solo album with one of the hottest producers in music at the time, Phil Ramone. Of course, that's another story for another board... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
