Catherine Bruno was so wickedly awesome. What was even better was the way she was brought on the show and we had no idea that she had an agenda. Nora's murder episode still ranks as one of the best. I remember watching it and being completely shocked at HOW she was killed. It still gives me chills. HS was a genius. To be honest, for me, the loss of Nora signified a bit of the end because her reign of terror was so terrific and nothing really matched that.

doing all of the things that we've been trying to teach him. It's almost as if he sat back and observed all these years and now is putting into action what he has learned.

"Karen is the baby, five. Well, what can I say? She's everything a little girl should be like. She's a delight. She looks like Brian, all red hair and freckles. She's very assertive and smiles a lot. She's kind of big for her age and is an excellent skier...skiing since she was one.

"All of my children ski, and we as a family go as often as possible. We go so often that we and some friends are thinking of building a chalet in southern Vermont. We've just come back from a trip to Vale, Colorado and there you can really do your thing.

"One of the reasons I like skiing is that the family can do it together, but not have to stay together. You know that your children are safe because they're on the mountain, so all you can go off on your own ways. That's the joy of skiing...it's a very independent sport. If the children should need any assistance, there is usually someone nearby who knows them and can help.

"When we're not skiing, we're at our bungalow out on Breezy Point. During the slack season, the fall, the family usually stays home and we work on crafts. On Saturdays my husband takes the kids out for breakfast and then to a museum or to some place of interest in the city.

"We both believe in the 'parent not pal' philosophy. I think children need and almost demand a certain amount of discipline. I suppose they know instinctively that punishment is given because you care. And after all the screams and the tears are a lot of hugs and kisses.

"All of the children attend parochial school and are doing beautifully. And this isn't just a proud mother talking. Here again, the school stresses right and privileges. You know I firmly believe that children must learn to work hard for what they want. They must not be catered to or indulged. It makes it better for them later on in life. If I teach the children anything, it is that they must not think of themselves first...always the other person.

"Fortunately, my husband feels the same way I do about raising the children. He's a marvelous guy. His name?...Herb A. Granath. He's vice president in charge of sales for ABC Sports. We met sometime back when I was just starting my career. At the time I was working for information at Rockefeller Center. Herb was a page, and we travelled with the same group of friends, but were into dating different people.

"Well, some time passed and one day we passed each other on the street. It was a warm day...I remember Herb was tanned. We looked at each other and smiled but a certain tingle went through me.

"We met again, but this time we talked to each other. I guess the same thing happened to him as happened to me. This 'hello again' lasted a year and then we were married. I guess it was a certain chemistry that just went right for both of us.

"Herb is quite a remarkable, brilliant guy with a great deal of potential. Anyone who knows him will tell you that he has never let anyone down. He's inventive, artistically creative and a good and innovative administrator.

"We get along quite well...we complement each other. He's a positive thinker...optimist. I'm more the hesitant one. He had quite a temper...I was more subdued. Now we've just about caught up to each other. I love him very much.

"To me, love is a general warm and wonderful feeling. There are so many phases involved...happiness, contentment, reciprocity. It's a feeling that envelopes you...that says I care, and I empathize with you, especially during the bad times.

"I must say that in our household there are no problems in terms of roles. I think if women dedicated more energies to communicating and understanding their husbands there would be no fuss about women's liberation. In terms of the political and business aspects of the problem, there, I am all for the movement. Women should be given equal pay and opportunity.

"My mother set for me an example of the liberated woman. She is still quite a woman. Every so often, she'd get tired of the furnishings and rearrange everything. Once we had this three-seater sofa which she sawed in thirds. She got tired of the sofa...that's all. Once she even took a wall down and told my father that if she could take it down, he could put a new one up.

"My childhood was a very happy one. I'm a New Yorker, raised out on Long Island...Brightwaters. I have three brothers...one older and two younger. My earliest memories are of big family gatherings...my mother had a lot of brothers and sisters. There we were gathered for Sunday chicken. I can see a whole clan gathered round the yummy table, laughing and carrying on.

"I was given many opportunities as a child: good schooling, dancing lessons. I was going to be a dancer, in fact, but as a child I developed a heart murmur, probably from fast growth, so I would take to fainting spells and I had to stop.

"My high school years were a very happy time for me, and I had a scholarship to continue my education in merchandising and buying. But one summer I was offered the lead in Liliom, and after its run the director recommended that I pursue a theatrical career. He introduced me to famed Claudia Franck, who then became my coach. I owe a great deal to her.

"I started out my career with commercials and small parts on television. Then I appeared on Broadway in Kismet and Holiday for Lovers. Did lots of industrials and then I played Liz Fraser Allen in the daytime series From These Roots. In 1962 I joined the cast of The Edge of Night as Nancy Karr, and, well, the rest you know.

"My life has worked out the way I wanted it to. There are still things to be done. I want to study languages and I so much want to go to Europe. And I want a room of m own for my art work.

"But I have so much: a wonderful husband, beautiful children, a career, good friends, a large apartment with a view of Central Park, and every so often, breakfast in bed, served on fine bone china. What more is there?"

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      By JAS0N47 · Posted

      That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

      Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.

      Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be.

      I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here.

      It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.

      Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.

      I feel like Vernon and Anita need to not be hypocrites and try and take the heat off Bill in this case. It's clear that the family used him as a fixer and especially knowing he helped with Martin's situation, they need to either be quiet or support him. BTW...with Vanessa being in the hospital for food poisoning, am I the only one who thought Shanice was gonna say she's pregnant or had an STD? The only reason I say STD is because she hasn't had any memorable sex partners, but I definitely don't believe she just had food poisoning.

      Yeah, I mean I know that the name still pertains. I just laugh at it not now being called Arizona Dust, but, I admit it simply does not have the same ring to it. Above, that is interesting that Arizona had already come up before the crisis.

      Leslie and her family are from Chicago? Anita's background also includes being a former Chi-Town native? Might they connect this and go somewhere with it?
