The Doctors

[Soaplovers]

 

Any noticeable difference in the character with Ms. Turner in the role?

It's hard to judge by one episode, but I already miss Kathryn Harrold in the role. She made Nola feisty, strong, smart and fun. That's a tall order for any recast to follow.

With Turner in the role,Nola and Sara really look like sisters.

I always thought that their predecessors, Kathryn Harrold and Antoinette Panneck, looked like real sisters as well.

There'll probably be heaps of soap actors in there as well.

I'm sure there will be. I know for sure that Jacqueline Courtney was in a couple of episodes.

Hi, I am new to this site and board.  My name is DocRestless, and I love Nick Bellini.  I also love The Doctors and watch all 3 time periods going on, on Retro TV.  I believe Sat. episodes are around '73, Sun around '68 and weekdays are '77.  If anybody has any input on any of these episodes, or the dates or time frames, please let me know.  There aren't really any episode guides online that I can find.  My favorite characters are of course Nick, and also Toni.  It looks like this is the only active Doctors board.  If there are others please let me know.  Hope to hear from you!

Thanks Khan!

The weekday shows are from March 1978.

Today we saw the fire at Andre's and the aftermath.

I think they did a pretty good job depicting the fire and the follow up at the hospital. It's amazing the difference a few extras can make.

Two characters were killed off.

Melba Moore guest starred and got special billing.

Which two characters got killed off?

[Paul Raven]

Virginia Dancy and Tom Carroll.

Looks like even then older female characters were dispensable.

The writers decided that Barney had more longevity.

Killing off Tom was an easy way to wrap up the abuse storyline, which seemed to be a Marland idea that was carried over but not really invested in.

They probably should have bumped off Doreen at the same time as she was quite a pointless character at this stage.
