Members OzFrog Posted July 7, 2020 Members Share Posted July 7, 2020 Simplistic and yet so poignant. Yes, if there is anything that the world needs now, it is certainly hope. Forgive me for not knowing this (as I’m not from the US), but what was the significance of 1952 that Jo was talking about in her monologue at the end? Did something major happen that year? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 7, 2020 Members Share Posted July 7, 2020 For the US, probably the election, and the Korean War. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted July 7, 2020 Members Share Posted July 7, 2020 Thank you very much for that. Yes I can imagine in those circumstances it would have been a significant year in US history. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soaplovers Posted July 8, 2020 Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think this is either the 1st episode..or one of the first episodes. And I think we see Patti's dad before he is killed off in this episode. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted July 8, 2020 Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 Yep, it's the first episode! I'm not sure it's ever been on YouTube before, but I'm so glad it is. That opening shot panning down into Henderson is like the birth of daytime TV soap opera in just one moment. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 8, 2020 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 (edited) Thanks so much for this.Funny to see Jimmy Bergman in light of the fact that 10 years later he would disappear forever. The rear projection/car scenes were good as they added some interest and movement. A bit dodgy in front of the Motor Haven but this was all live. Sure there are more episodes out there . Completely agree re the state of today's soaps, They need to look at the low budget days gone by and simplify the storytelling.

Members DRW50 Posted July 8, 2020 Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 Coronation Street had a somewhat similar panning between residences tracking shot for their early closing credits - I loved it. It's a very atmospheric debut episode for a soap, and I wonder how viewers felt over the next few months, wondering if or when he was going to die. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 8, 2020 Author Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 Wonder why John Sylvester White didn't get credit in the first episode? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members amybrickwallace Posted July 8, 2020 Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 How long was John Sylvester White on the show before Keith was killed off? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted July 8, 2020 Members Share Posted July 8, 2020 I think it was in the few months of the show is when he was killed off. There was conflict between him and Jo regarding his mother interfering so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted July 13, 2020 Members Share Posted July 13, 2020 I didn't realize that Morgan Fairchild and Courtney Simon still regularly touched base with one another on Twitter. It's sweet. I'm assuming the Meg Morgan is referring to in the first tweet is Meg Bennet? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted July 14, 2020 Members Share Posted July 14, 2020 Awww that is the cutest! For someone my age (40), it’s weird visualising Peter Simon and Morgan Fairchild as a relatively short-term on-screen couple. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted July 25, 2020 Members Share Posted July 25, 2020 The clips that keep popping up on Youtube. This clip is a snippet of the phenomenal Angela Bassett’s brief run on Search For Tomorrow from early 1985 (which is hardly documented anywhere). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted July 26, 2020 Author Members Share Posted July 26, 2020 Just found out that in March 1949 Mary Stuart was part of the cast of Suspense, a CBS anthology. She worked with Eddie Albert and his wife Margo, Ralph Camargo (Victoria Wyndham's father) and Stefan Schnabel (Dr Jackson GL). So over 2 years before Search, Mary was apart of the early days of live TV. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
