Val looks like he just dinged his jaw on Morgan's hair.

They do look a little awkward together. The soap magazines of this time kept saying they had a thing.

Here's a full color picture of Val in his '70s attire.

Seems the Val/Morgan 'romance' was convenient for both of them. I remember watching John in the 70's and always found him a little creepy.

In the 25th article,the Maria Pettit character is new to me. i have never seen mention of that actress or character, was that because it was in fact quite minor,despite her appearing in the photos.Or were there plans for that character that didn't pan out?

There was a lot of hospital drama during that time.There was already Dr Rogers and Gary Walton as doctors,so how did Dr Pettit fit in ?

Jil Clayburgh,who played Grace Bolton in 1969 has died aged 66.She was the mother of Len's child Chris,whom Len and Patti adopted.

I wish we could see that story. One of the first things I thought of when I read about her passing was SFT, and wondering if she's talking to Mary Stuart now.

I watched SFT with my grandmother when I was very young and then started watching it some on my own, circa 1982-1986. I always LOVED Sunny Adamson- she still remains one of my favorite soap heroines of all time and Marcia McCabe is forever endeared to me as an actress. I fell in love with Hogan & Sunny and hated that Patty & Quinn came on in those last couple years and they were instead paired with them, respectively (Hogan/Patty, Quinn/Sunny). I particularly hated the Patty & Hogan pairing and was deeply saddened that the show ended with Hogan's wedding to her, while I always believed he belonged with Sunny. I know I can't be the only viewer who felt that way, either.

But my question is this: I remember clearly that Hogan & Sunny worked together closely, I think as P.I.s or something to that effect, and that they often flirted. But were they ever paired as a full-fledged romantic couple or were they always just friends and coworkers? And if they were, why did they break up? Did the show ever address any jealousy on either Hogan's or Sunny's part in respect to their new pairings? I'd appreciate some answers and thanks in advance!

Also, why did TPTB recast the gorgeous and talented Sherry Mathis with Louan Gideon as Liza in the last year? I remember really liking Mathis in the part and never could warm to Gideon. I still don't get it.

Hi friends!

I enclose you a sheet with information from NBC regarding the tapes missing in 1983 and the fact of taping ON LIVE!!!

Enjoy

Thanks!

The way she words this I can see why some felt like it was just a PR stunt.

I wonder if this is the only time Olympia Dukakis did live TV. Not to mention most of the other actors (I'm sure Larry Haines had).

Did any of you see the episode? Did anything interesting happen?

Devore went on to be on OLTL later in the decade.

So no answers to my questions?

What years would this be? I have some Digests from the early/mid 80s so I could look through them for synopses.

Does anyone remember ths storyline in which Suzy, Brian and Warren are lost in the South American jungle due to a plane crash and JoAnne is going to celebrate the River Boat opening?? It is in 1982 but I can't remember in which month....

Those would be the years of the Hogan/Sunny stuff yes. And Louise Gideon replaced Sherry Mathis in 1985, that I know. I'm just DYING to know why they recast. Thanks!
