So my friend got an email reply from Linda Dano. She said she is okay, fine, living a calm, quiet life, mostly at home in CT. She had asked specifically about her podcast. Dano didn't mention it. My friend, somewhat determined, replied back & again brought up the podcast. So, we'll see. At the very least we know she says she's okay. 

The press release for Barbara Rodell joining the show as a recast Lee Randolph.

Thanks.  Maybe the podcast was more trouble than it was worth for her.  Or maybe not enough listeners.  Who knows?  There could be many reasons someone might stop podcasting.  And many podcasts don't actually last very long.  At least its good to know Linda is doing well.  

Thanks @chrisml . At least we know that wasn't BS, as Barbara said on Locher Room she'd been a fan before joining the show.

Christopher Rich (Sandy, AW) reunites with Reba on Happy’s Place.  He talks about his recovery after having a stroke.  Glad he is doing well. 🙏🏼

Thanks for sharing. I didn't know Chris had had a stroke. Beautiful to see how much they've supported him.

That cast always seems to be like a close knit bunch...(unlike every cast on every show who says they are.)

God I am old, Sandy had a stroke???!?!

Pretty bad one. David Forsythe had one, too.

I remember coming across some video about it after Nancy Frangione died. Here's a link:

https://www.neuroskills.com/about/news-and-events/video-chris-rich-part-1-introduction/

I was looking at an episode from the summer of 1984 where Cecile goes with Wallingford to meet Bates (who had provided information about the secret baby-selling ring; they find him dead) and was surprised to learn from the AWHP that the actor (Tom Mardirosian) who played Bates is the same one who later played Ralph, the imposter Donna asked to pretend to be Michael so that Marley would stop looking for her father.

I can't believe I've been neglecting my AW for so long. Yes, I've had a break from it, because I am obsessed with AMC... but I've promised my husband we are returning to it tomorrow. I can't wait! I miss Iris! 

Today shows a brief clip of Bellamy Young on AW, and she comments on how she has a hard time looking at the clip. 

It feels extremely rare for Today to be mentioning AW. I wonder when they last did.

Thanks! I sent the link to Eddie. Also sent him my edit of it with just the AW part.
