Members hendersonite Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 DRW50, in the commercial clip that you posted, that was Kylie Halliday (Lisa Buck) with Jo, in 1978. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 Thanks! I don't really know anything about that character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 So, to update: I have replied to Syracuse & set them to search, describing the scene, the only scene of interest, with only Scott & Kathy, his proposal of marriage & her telling him of her abortion the day before. And, I noted, of course, that what we're after, is the date. And, thanks again both to @will81who was the one who came up with the script showing that Erica went to New York state & to @JAS0N47for the Syracuse Ralph Ellis collection resource. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members VelekaCarruthers Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 I believe the Hallidays (Kylie and Chance) were created by Henry Slesar during his short run as HW. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 27 Members Share Posted January 27 Thanks. Those are such soap names, especially for that era. I wonder what his plans were for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted January 28 Author Members Share Posted January 28 @hendersonite Thanks for reminding us of Kylie. I suspect Henry Slesar's stint at SFT was always intended as short term. The Corringtons had been hired by P&G to study their soaps and write some treatments.They might have not been the only ones so it was quite possible that Slesar was there until decisions were made about which writers would go where. Once the Corringtons arrived,Chance,Donna and Kylie were dropped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 Yes, I couldn't believe it when I got their email! They seem to have a real appreciation for their remote location soap fans. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VelekaCarruthers Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 (edited) I would love to get my hands on SFT scripts by Henry Slesar and also know the exact time period and length of his tenure. I believe it was six months and he may have taken over from Robert J. Shaw. Also, whether or not he had any script writers helping him. NY Public Library has the following scripts: https://archives.nypl.org/the/22743 The scripts, dating from 1975 to 1989, number over one hundred and are from three television soap operas: All My Children, One Life To Live, and Search For Tomorrow. The All My Children scripts mostly date from 1989, while the other two sets date primarily from 1979 to 1980. Eighty-two of scripts are from One Life To Live, 33 from Search For Tomorrow, and 16 from All My Children. The runs of scripts within date ranges are not comprehensive. Also, longtime script writer, Jean Rouverol, donated tons of scripts to a Wyoming arts institution as follows. The description of her is interesting. It mentions that she was at one point co-head writer of GL. She also donated two boxes of SFT 1974-75 scripts. I didn't realize she had been a SFT script writer. I believe Ann Marcus was head writer during that time. https://archiveswest.orbiscascade.org/ark:80444/xv536035 Container(s) Description Dates Box 1-19 As the World Turns 1980-1981 52-54 As the World Turns 1979-1982 45-49 Bright Promise 1970-1972 58 Capitol 1984 20-44 Guiding Light 1975-1980 55-57 Guiding Light 1976-1979 50-51 Search for Tomorrow 1974-1975 Also!

The series included are As the World Turns, Bright Promise, General Hospital, Guiding Light, Heritage, One Life to Live, Santa Barbara, and Search for Tomorrow. Also included are miscellaneous television and radio stories and personal papers from both the Hursleys and the Dobsons. Abstract: Variant scripts for several television programs produced by Procter & Gamble Productions, a subsidiary of Procter & Gamble, including soap operas, The Guiding Light (1958-1979) and As the World Turns (1956-1962, 1965, 1971, 1973-1979), as well as television shows, The Danny Thomas Show (1959-1960; previously titled Make Room for Daddy) and The Rifleman (1958-1959). Most of the scripts are mimeographed air scripts including scripts for commercials. Many are annotated to indicate timing and dialogue changes. Also included are some production records including files from 1958 to 1975 of Lucy Ferri Rittenberg of the Compton Advertising Agency, who served as production executive for The Guiding Light, and files from 1955 to 1957 of Charles Fisher, the account executive at Benton and Bowles who produced As the World Turns.

Members dc11786 Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 I believe the scripts for SFT in the New York Public Library are 1979-1980. Or maybe 1978-1979. I remember thinking they would be scripts from the Corringtons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 OMG!!! What a treasure trove. While I was looking up something else I came upon Schemering's mention of Slesar at SFT but it is not encouraging. and here he rattles off the names of no fewer than 8 people. Among them Ann Marcus, Gabrielle Upton, Peggy O'Shea and finally ending with Henry Slesar & then in parentheses Then a statement about the ratings fluctuating this whole time culminating in the hiring of the Corringtons. Now, back to the reason I was perusing Schemering early this morning: Of course he does not give a date. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 @VelekaCarruthers I have just posed this question for you. I will let you know whatever he replies, if he does. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mona Kane Croft Posted January 28 Members Share Posted January 28 Does anyone know what the Corringtons had done before being hired at SFT? I don't recall them being soap writers before Search, but I could easily be incorrect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
