Syracuse University has a collection of SFT material from headwriter Ralph Ellis.Would love to read through this!

Story projections contains four projected plot outlines, each for six months to a year in advance. 1973 Writers Guild Award materialconsists of a precis. Accompanying material contains Ralph Ellis' own notes on the collection. These three series are quite small.

The majority of the collection consists of breakdowns and scripts. Breakdowns contains 92 weekly outlines of plot developments. Studio and draft scriptscontains 587 scripts for episodes of the series; the majority are studio scripts, some are drafts, and for a few episodes both studio and draft scripts are present. Corresponding four-digit episode numbers are provided for all breakdowns and scripts.

I just read that Peggy Cass (H.Sweeney, TD, multiple game shows) appeared on Search For Tomorrow early in her career. Does anyone know anything about this?

  • Member

Slick, my information is that she played Nellie Shayne on the show in 1986. I seem to remember that someone told me that she was an airplane passenger.

Do you know anything about David Canary's role on the show?

Also, Geoffrey Lumb and Ernest Graves?

David Canary played Arthur Benson a producer of the movie You Can Love Again,which Steve Kaslo supplied the title song.

Ernest Graves was Walter Haskins, the same role that Douglass Watson portrayed in the 60s.

Geoffrey Lumb was Geoffrey Crane, but I don't know what his role did on the canvas.

I have her as Nellie Shayne as well, but the article I read in the archives said she was a bad girl on Search for 2-3 episodes before she became famous on Broadway and game shows, so I think it was in the 50's.

Wow, I had known that David Canary was on The Doctors and AW before hitting his biggest daytime fame on AMC, but not that he was on SFT. Then, of course, years later he and Michael Nouri would both be on AMC.

June 16 1975

Jo's 3rd husband Tiny Vincente dies of a heart attack.

June 1975 was a spectacular month for Search. Tony suffered a heart attack, fell down the stairs at Henderson Hospital, and died attempting to save the life of young runaway Robin Kennemer. His death greatly affected Jo and Scott Phillips. After Tony's funeral, Scott admitted he loved Kathy and had never loved his wife Jennifer, who was pregnant with his child. Neurotic Jennifer became hysterical, railing at him for deceiving her with a marriage based on nothing but lies. She pulled away from him and smashed through the plate glass patio door. Her spleen ruptured. She hemorrhaged and lost the baby. When she awoke following surgery, her face was swathed in white bandages. A shard of glass had sliced through her beautiful face, leaving a hideous scar down her cheek. Jennifer's slow motion plunge through the door is one of the most iconic sequences on the series. It was such a sensation that CBS ran promos for it in primetime for weeks afterward. Ann Marcus wrote a marvelous soap.

That sounds incredibly compelling, SayNot! You wouldn't happen to have any of this, would you? No worries if you don't -- the summaries are more than welcome.

Just rewatched a Season Three episode of MAD MEN and realized that Bert Cooper is watching SEARCH FOR TOMORROW! Stu and Marge are seen on a TV set in the background discussing Monica and Jimmy Bergman!

Unfortunately I do not. I know a collector who does have Jennifer's fall on tape, but she refuses to trade it with me because she knows that I would upload it to YouTube in a flash.
