Members DRW50 Posted May 4, 2011 Members Share Posted May 4, 2011 Thanks for reading. I thought Jody was a female too until I saw an interview or a quote from the actor in one of these. No other soap ever had stories about janitors working their way up, did they? St. Elsewhere did this with Luther. Did you notice they completely excluded Ann Williams? How odd. This may have been material from late 1969, if Lakin was still there, but I don't know when the exact dates would be. I didn't know a lot of these actors too. You probably already knew this but I didn't have any idea that the early stories centered around the chaplain and that other doctor. I wonder why they were written out. I hadn't seen Nick Savian before either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 I can't find any info on these actors re The Doctors Court Benson (he was married to Beverlee McKinsey in the 60's),Nick Savian,Greta Rae or Angus Duncan. When the show was an anthology some interesting names pop up including Tina Louise,Jacquie Courtney,Dyan Cannon,Joel Crothers,Jessica Walter,Virginia Dwyer,Barbara Berjer,James Farentino,Patty McCormack,Doug Marland,Mona Bruns and Bonnie Bartlett and I'm sure that there were many more. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 Thanks for finding all of this. You always have such info. Nick Savian is in the photo above with Matt, but that doesn't help much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 That's what is so great about the articles you are posting as they are giving details the reference books overlook.Keep them coming! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 5, 2011 Members Share Posted May 5, 2011 It's pretty crazy sometimes how you can find so little beyond Althea/Nick/Mike/Maggie/Carolee/Steve. You would think that's when the show began. I have some other dribs and drabs like a few names. They may already be known or in Schemering's book. I can't remember. Anyway I'll post them when I find them again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 After some sleuthing,i managed to locate a cast list from an old TV encylopedia,which may not be completely reliable. Anyway,they have these actors listed for these roles Court Benson-Willard Greta Rae - Ginny Luis Van Rooten - Simon Gross Conrad Roberts - Ed Stark This reference also lists Kathleen Murray as having played Maggie.She had played the title role in the 50's NBC soap 'Kitty Foyle' Could be a mistake or she might have been a temp. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 That's fascinating. Judy Lewis was in Kitty Foyle too wasn't she? (Not that that has anything to do with The Doctors). Thanks again for your hard work. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 Any Lydia Bruce fans may want to know that I posted a few clips of her temp run as Alex Spaulding in the temporary recasts thread. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 I never got the opportunity to write something for Beverlee McKinsey or Michael Zaslow, but I really hope I will for Elizabeth Hubbard 'fore it's too late. She's among the last, remaining intelligent older actresses out there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 6, 2011 Members Share Posted May 6, 2011 I know what you mean. I never have written because I always assume they never read it. Now I regret that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted May 15, 2011 Members Share Posted May 15, 2011 This is great!! I didn't know that Liz and Ellen overlapped. Why did they call Ellen by her character name? Did they not want people to know she had changed her last name? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted May 20, 2011 Members Share Posted May 20, 2011 I think the Ellen/Kate mix up was just a typo Here's a 1970 cast list. CAST: Lydia Bruce as Dr. M. Powers Peter Burnell as Michael Powers Carolee Campbell as Miss Simpson Zaida Coles as Anna Ford C.C. Courtney as Jody Lee Bronson Jami Fields as Penny Davis Gerald Gordon as Dr. Nick Bellini Sally Gracie as Martha Allen David O'Brien as Dr. Steve Aldrich James Pritchett as Dr. Matt Powers Greta Rae as Ginny Frances Sternhagen as Phyllis Corrigan Robert Salvio as Gary Corrigan 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
