Those were some lovely episodes of SFT. Thanks for linking these!

 

Honestly the contrast between Maree Cheatham’s and Louise Shaffer’s portrayals of Stephanie are so stark. Cheatham plays Stephanie with such cunning yet still seeming human at the same time. From what I’ve seen of Shaffer’s Stephanie, she was just always way over the top with her portrayal, to the point where I sometimes cringe.

 

Always a pleasure to see young Lisa Peluso here. It would be amazing if there were any SFT episodes with her from 1977-82 that would emerge, so we could see just how much she progressed as she evolved into adulthood.

 

Lastly, who is this actress playing Suzy here? And how long was she on for?

[BetterForgotten]

Shaffer did amazing work on Ryan's Hope, often with very messy writing, but she is totally miscast as Stephanie. They also dressed and styled her in the most unflattering of ways.

I believe that was Elizabeth Swackhamer as Suzy. I'm not sure how long she played the role but it wasn't very long.

Whoever post all these episode are a godsend. I cannot wait to sit and binge watch these later on today.

Cynthia Gibb appeared in one of the summer of 83 episodes i saw. Terri Eoff came on right before Christmas of 83. So i'm guessing Elizabeth Swackhamer was on maybe 3-4 months.

From what I can see, Louise Shaffer played Stephanie the same way that she played Rae Woodard on RH. I always thought that her portrayal of Rae was one-note.

I agree to a point. It seemed like Rae Woodard had indeed stepped into Henderson, but LS was blessed with much better writing on RH.

For any SFT historians out there, what happened to Janet Bergman? It's really hard to find any information on SFT. 

[Paul Raven]

After Ted Adamson suddenly proposed (he needed money and Janet was wealthy) Janet wasn't sure she was ready to marry again, so she decided to take Danny to San Francisco to visit her son Gary and do some thinking. She never returned. This was mid 82 when Henderson was invaded by Warren, Kristin, Jenny, Keith etc.

Thank you.

I believe Millee Taggart did join SFT's writing staff at some point in the 1980s.

[OzFrog]

Not being all too familiar with SFT’s history, I’m assuming the Janet being mentioned here is Liza’s mother? And from the surname, was she related to Stu in some way?

 

Also, what was Warren Carter’s backstory when he first came to Henderson?

[Paul Raven]

 

 

Janet is Liza's mother and Stu's daughter. She was Janet Bergman Gardner Walton Collins.

 

Liza and Gary and Danny are her children by Dan Walton.
