I don't know a lot of SFT. I keep hearing on the boards "Soaps shouldn't rely on one character driving a show!! Did we learn anything from SFT??". I am not sure what that means.

Jo (Mary Stuart) drove the show for most of its run.

I disagree. As Paul Raven points out, from Mary Stuart's BOTH OF ME, Jo went backburner or supporting for long stretches of time. Patti and Eunice vied for heroine status as well. Add Janet at times, and then adult Liza (the leading lady until Sherry Mathis left), as well as Sunny, Suzi and Wendy--well, let's face it: Jo was Mary Worth from about 1975 on. Sad but true. She didn't drive the show. Nor should she have. Although I loved Mary Stuart, her Jo was nowhere near as feisty, snarky or interesting as her Meta on GL. And Mary at, say, 60 was not Susan Lucci at 60, still sexing it up and romancing a plethora of men. Jo should have been more important, with more of her family members (Patti, Suzi, Eunice, Bruce, Sarah, Chris, Stacey, etc.) on the show at the same time (or not killed off). But her character wouldn't have driven story, although she could've been an important part of stories.

was it SFT that brought on three hot brothers in the 80s?

Yes. The McClearys.

Just a reminder, Search for Tomorrow premiered 62 years ago today.

This is from a TV By Day Yearbook

Someone please explain Val Dufour's outfit!!

Never seen Ruth Hunt,Virginia Martin or Robert Maxwell in cast lists before.

I think Connie was a love interest for Stu.

Thanks for reading. I'm always happy if someone reads these.

I don't know a lot about the cast members either.

Maybe Dufour is doing some war reenactment.

I believe Val Dufour's get-up was a publicity photo from a play, movie, or guest shot from a primetime series. It was not a scene from SFT.

Connie was a spoiler in the budding romance of Stu and Ellie. Stu met her while on holiday in California. They were both contestants on a cheesy game show. Connie followed him back to Henderson and took over Ellie's job at the Hartford House for a while.

Dr. Clare Newman was Karen Dehner's psychiatrist at the sanitarium where Clay Collins was employed.

Dr. Adam Luria was the oncologist who prepared Steve Kaslo's bone marrow transplant during his first bout with leukemia in 1976.
