  Home movie footage, circa June 1971

[denzo30]

Wow. where did this footage come from?  Here is who I can Identify, Ada, Bernice, Russ, Cindy, Susan?, Pat, Ernie? Alice.  Most of this recollation only photos I have seen of them.

[Paul Raven]

The AWHP identifies most of these actors.

This party was for director Len Valenta. I mentioned in a post elsewhere that I read somewhere that Mr Valenta had tapes of shows he had directed. They're probably sitting in an attic ....

Rachel (Robin Strasser) is in there too.

 

Boy, Jacqueline Courtney (Alice) was a striking woman.

[Mona Kane Croft]

 

Nancy Wickwire is one of the actors.  She played Liz Matthews after Audra Lindley left the show, and she certainly resembles Lindley in this film.  Wickwire has been rumored to have been Connie Ford's partner.  And it has long been speculated the character Nancy McGowen was named after Wickwire, who had been ill and passed-away just a few days after Ada's baby was born.

Yes now after watching Robin as Rachel, Liz (Nancy) and I saw Susan Sullivan too as Lenore.  Also the character was her name Vera Moore?

I'm trying to find more information about the music that was used as Catlin and Sally's theme in 1984. Who wrote it and who sang it? 

 

It's the piano music playing behind the scene below. Based on the information on the AWHP, I believe its title was "When". And I believe (but have not been able to find) that there is a scene with Catlin and Sally dancing to the full version with vocals.

Rachel and Peter ?!?

 

Now that was a long forgotten thread.  It seems like an attempt to keep Rachel and Mac in the mix with the Love Family.  However, it really makes Rachel quite a cougar considering that Peter dated Sally and Cecile the prior year.

It was during a period when Rachel had amnesia and from what I read and remember was a plot device to add conflict between Rachel and Mac.

This was during the time that Alice was Rachel's doctor, and all their past history was brought up.  If TPTB were wise they would have had Alice start dating Mac again as a plot device.  Instead, TPTB clearly had no idea what they were doing and fired Jacqueline Courtney.

Alice being Rachel’s doctor, given their history, is patently ridiculous.

[beebs]

Yeah, as much as I enjoy Gary Tomlin's writing at times, everything I've heard of his AW run screams incompetence.

I watched Another World from 1976 - 1999.  1984 was one of my favourite years of the show. The headwriters were Gary Tomlin and Richard Culliton and in my opinion the show was never written as well again after they left.  I also don't agree with the criticism of how Alice was written in 1984.  However, 1985 was a big pile of poo.
