I heard that the whole ABC cast was in favor of the additional airing on late night television, but that Donald May demanded that his salary be doubled.     That demand stopped the idea of late night airings of the show.

There's some irony that Donald May was later cast on Texas, which was not only re-played on TBS, but reports at the time were that actor's contracts limited the residual payments for the rebroadcast so that they made less than industry standard.

I still remember when Soap Opera Weekly did their big, "Whatever Happened To...?"/"Where Are They Now?" issue, where they caught up with May, Borelli and a truckload of other former soap stars.  It was so bittersweet reading that and thinking and feeling that there were so many former actors who should've still been on the soaps.

She probably staged it.

I wouldn't be surprised if she did.

Sad to hear this. I have barely seen any of his work as Adam Drake, and I guess I never will. He was a very handsome, charismatic man. If you want to see him in a real change of pace role, watch OC and Stiggs.

Here are some clips with Donald May re the Serena Farraday story.  Serena had another personality named Josie.  Adam was defending her in a murder trial.

 

And an article from 1968 regarding his one-man show in a 1968 episode.  I have an interview with him from 1969 and he said the crew had given him a kinescope of that episode (which of course was done live then).  Would love to see that one.

Thanks for those clips! It took me a little while to clock that that was Louise Shaffer playing Serena Farraday (and man she did that so incredibly). Incidentally, the full follow-up episode to all of that is also on YouTube…
