Members Matt Posted November 8, 2014 Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 (edited) THAT'S who that is!!! For YEARS I've been trying to figure out why Melissa Converse looked so familiar to me. I've got about a full month of SFT from the summer of 1966 on video tape & Melissa Murphy is playing Patti (quite well, too, I might add). Those episodes are REALLY good & I really connected with Murphy's Patti and always wondered why I'd never seen her in anything else. But it turns out I have! lol I never made the connection between Converse & Murphy because none of Melissa Murphy's credits are listed under Melissa Converse or vice versa.

Members sungrey Posted November 8, 2014 Members Share Posted November 8, 2014 Jeff Brown. The real Sky didn't surface until late spring of 1982. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SoapDope Posted November 9, 2014 Members Share Posted November 9, 2014 Melissa Converse Murphy is said the be the daughter of Peggy Converse and Don Porter. Don played Sally Field's father Russ on Gidget and a ton of other roles. Melissa appeared in an episode of Gidget having a crush on Russ played by her real life Dad. Yuck!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Ed Kemmer[Malcolm Thomas]'s first wife Elaine Edwards, portrayed Eileen Quinn in the late 50s or early 60s. Jay Ingram [Cal Zimmerman AW] played a guy in a bar that hit on Deborah Saxon two days before he landed his AW role. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members FrenchFan Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Sharon Gabet must have started around September 1977. She couldn't interact with Donald May as Adam was murdered in June 1977. However, she must have met Maeve McGuire as she last aired as Nicole in late December 1977 before being replaced by Jayne Bentzen in January 1978. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thank you. Speaking of which, did Don May choose to leave or was he fired? I read that he was very vocal about his displeasure about the Nicole/Adam/Brandy triangle and how it turned out to the press, which may have forced Erwin Nicholson's/P&G's hand. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Does anyone know what character Lynne Rogers[TD,ATWT, GL, DS, Mrs. Briggs and Marge Winslow EoN and others] played prior to 1965? Also, I read that Joe Allen, Jr. [Miles Pardee LoL] appeared on EoN. Does anyone know what character he played? I read articles that mentioned both actors appearing on EoN, and I wondered if anyone knew more about them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Avatar610 Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 I have heard that Donald May and Dixie Carter were romantically linked offscreen, so that might have something to do with his preference for Adam/Brandy. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted November 11, 2014 Members Share Posted November 11, 2014 Really? Now that I didn't know. I think she married her second husband not too long after she left EON, and a few years later wed Hal Holbrook, who she spent the rest of her life with. If that's true, that's certainly a viable reason!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 14, 2014 Members Share Posted November 14, 2014 (edited) What an understated, talented lady. So underrated. What impresses me is she always seemed so fresh and current even as the show's quasi-matriarch. Edited November 14, 2014 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members amybrickwallace Posted November 14, 2014 Members Share Posted November 14, 2014 Yes, she was. As the show's longest-running cast member and mother figure, Ann Flood carved out a niche all her own on in the annals of daytime drama. It's a shame she never found another long-running gig on another soap (though she did play against type as a villainess in the last few weeks of SFT in 1986), though I believe she chose to eventually retire from show biz. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
